Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Markets are quite active
and demand good, millers and ship
pers are in the market for spot stuff
and prices have advanced owing to
the scarcity of supplies. The trade
is at sea as to future prices and all
eyes are turned to Washington, await
ing the food control bill to see what
it calls for. No one is anxious to
make bids for futures and growers
are not asking for any; they all look
for $500 wheat and better The pri
mary movement is of comparatively
free proportions and is running al
about the equivalent of last years
volume, while the shipments are not
as large as we have recently been &C
customed to. The clearances aver
aged a fair volume, being fair-sizet
on some days and light on others.
Flour-The domestic flour market
recently has been groggy without any
change in the situation. There are
no large warehouse stocks, the CA
shortage still prevents heavy ship
ments to the east and bakers anC
householders are Supplied with floul
for prolonged siege.
Feed-Trade in millfeed is sluggish
The moderate output of all feeds il
moving in fair shape, fast enough t
obsorb the output of mills, but tn,
interest in bran is very quiet anC
there is considerable on hand that tn,
millers and brokers would like to sell
The market for oats, which had tn,
elements of weakness more promi
nently protuberent in its surrounding
than in either of the other two grea
staples of the grain business, and ye
it made the hardest fight to resis
the general downward trend.

just back from one front, wore the
khaki blouse of a common soldier
The ministers listened with rap
attention to Mr.. Roots address, which
was an impressive utterance, boil
in substance and manner.

EXPLOSION CAUSED
BIG LOSS OF GRAIN
Elevator at Minneapolis Burns and
$4,000 of Wheat Consumed
Many Lives Menaced.

Minneapolis.-Fire caused by a
terrific explosion in the top of the
elevator of the George c. Bagley,
Elevator company, Minneapolis, Sat
urday night, destroyed the building
and it's stock of wheat, threatened
the lives of 10000 people who re-
fused to move away from endanger-
ing tanks containing $4,000 gallons
of gasoline, and caused a property
loss of 100000
Following the statement of SOL
diers and employees of the company
that the explosion could not have
been caused by wheat dust, state
and city fire marshalls Immediately
began an investigation. The wheat
stored alone was valued at $4,000
The fire started at the top of the
elevator, 20 feet above the ground,
after the explosion, and hurled the
timbers to the first floor.
AS the walls crumbled and fell in
the flames crept nearer to the one
story building of the Climax West
ern Oil company across the street
In the building was stored 10000 gal
Ions of lubricating oil and at its
rear were IA tanks containing $4,000
gallons of gasoline.
A strong wind carried the flames
so close to the oil house that the
police and soldiers ordered the dis
trict cleared, but the thousands in
the vicinity refused to move. A sud
den shift in the wind and hard fire
fighting saved the oil plant.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

There has been but little if any
change in the business situation of
the country during the pas week.
The fundamental conditions. which
include full employment of the peo-
pie, and an enormous production of
commodities from original sources,
were never better. Agricultural prod
ucts and mineral products never be-
fore brought prices that were so re-
munerative to the producers, and the
number of people directly engaged in
these industries is very large. There
is a calmer, more conservative tone
in all quarters, without any real let
up of activity.
1t is evident that the whole coun-
try is doing business with full APP
probation of the fact that conditions
are extraordinary and subject to
change, and yet with a large degree
of confidence in the future. There
has been over-buying prompted by
rising prices and fear of inability to
get goods later, and this in some de-
gree explains the unprecedented de-
mand.
The crop season has been a little
| backward, but the soil has taken in
good amount of moisture, which is
the most important factor in a crop.
The acreage of wheat is reduced.
Provisions.
| Butter-Quotations hold at the
same figue as for several weeks, be-
ing 3S@4Oc for Washington creamery,
The undertone of the market is a
little easier, but there is not much
probability of lower quotations here,
although eastern figures are nearer to
local figures than is usually the case
Cheese-Market holds at about the
same level, with quotations ranging
from 2519c up TO 33c.
/ Eggs-Market is still very firm al
SO to the producer loss off, and S11
wholesale. The quality is getting
poorer due to warmer weather and
receipts are showing increased per
centage of spots, rots and checks.
Dressed Meats-Marked advances
have taken place in mutton and lamb
and pork and beef is strong and
steady, with supplies not up to de
mands.
Poultry-Big receipts of hens
springers and roosters had put a
crimp in the poultry quotations. Hens
are off &c, springers sc and old roost
ers are easier at 9@10c. Ducks
geese and turkeys remain unchanged
Lard and Cured Meats-Market re
mains in about the same position as
for the past couple of weeks, with
not much indication of any easing off
for some time to come.
Fruits and Vegetables
1t is stated that the Kennewicl
strawberry season is about over and
that Hood Rivers will be the leading
berries until locals are ripe. Quota
lions this week range from $2.5C
to 81.
Lemons are firmer this week a.
$5@5.25 for the fancy and S4.75@'
for the choice.
Oranges remain unchanged. Navel.
quoting at S3@3.s5 and Valencias, 81
bananas are little firmer at 515 q
534c per pound, and apples as far al
jobbing is concerned are over. Snak,

ALLIES ATTACKS
CONTINUE ONWARD
STEADY POUND ON THE GERMAN
LINES ADDS NEW GAINS
ALPINE TROOPS WIN.
ON OFFENSIVE ALL THE TIME
French Resumption of Heavy Fight
ing Indicated by Increasing Ac-
tivity of Artillery in Aisne-
Down Zeppelin Raider.

Heavy fighting is in progress in
Belgium, France, and along the Aus
tro-Italian fronts, with the entente
forces on the aggressive.
Rome reports a considerable achieve
ment by Alpine troops in the capture
'of a strong Austrian position at Como
Cavento in the eastern Trentino, at
an altitude of more than 10000 feet.
Two field guns and several smaller
guns were taken from the Austrians.
Attacks on Italian positions in other
sectors were repulsed.
The British attacked Saturday in
the Bullecourt region on the Arras
'front.' and along the Arras-Cambrai
road, according to indications in the
Berlin official statement The repulse
OF British attaches in Belgium and on
the Artois front yesterday is claimed.
The French are increasing their
fire both in the Aisne and Cham
payne regions, and there are indica-
tons that resumption of the French
offencive in those sectors may be
looked for. Berlin is expecting such
move by General Petain, according
to official advice.
Germans on Air Raid.
German airships made a raid on
the east and southeast coast of Eng
land Sunday morning. One Zeppelin
was brought down in flames, accord
ing to an official announcement. after
the raiders had dropped bombs in
Kent.
Heavy Artillery Fighting.
Fighting by the artillery wings took
place on the war fronts Sunday. On
the front in France held by the Brit
ish, aside from the artillery duels
there have been raids and a continu-
alton of the aerial activity that has
been so pronounced for weeks past.
Near Hurtebise the Germans in a
night attack seized portions of the
trenches held by the French, but la
ter were forced to give back most of
them in a counter attack. Consider
able artillery activity continues in Bel
Hetsas.
Active Fighting in Macedonia.
In Macedonia the artillery duels that
have been in progress for several
weeks are still going on, but the ex.
pected infantry attacks have not de-
veloped. Meanwhile the entente forces
continue to throw their troops into
Thessaly, the occupation of various
towns having been accomplished with.
out untoward incident. French cav.
airy now has reached Pharsala and
Domokos, south of Larissa, while De
miril has been occupied by the Brit
ish.
Although quiet still prevails on the
Russian front, there seemingly is an
indication that hostilities soon will
begin again there.

MINING NOTES

Extension of the tramway system
at the SLOGAN Star mine, Nelson. B.
c., is being made to connect the mill
with No. level. When this work has
been completed, the mill will be OPP
Grated three shifts daily.
The Canadian governments latest
effort to end the strike which has
tied up the coal mines of Alberta and
eastern British Columbia, including
the Crows Nest district, for many
weeks, was set at naught Saturday
when the operators definitly reject
ed the proposals made by r. F.. Green,
M. p, the special commissioner sent
from Ottawa with power to act as me-
diator between the parties.
The new concentrator of the Con-
solidated Mining, Smelling Co., under
going construction at Trail, B. c.,
will be ready for operation by July l,
| by estimate. The performance of the
plant holds interest in many parts of
| the northwest because of it's purpose,
which is to dress the complex ores
of the Sullivan mine, the greatest of
its kind in British Columbia. Millions
of dollars will be saved on the ton
mage of the Sullivan mine if success
is achieved in experiments to be
made on it's ore in the new mill. The
plant undergoing construction has a
capacity of 200 tons daily, although
regarded as experimental to a GER
tain extent. Success in the separa-
ton of Sullivan ore will prompt the
installation of plant many times the
capacity.

PUTS PRICE on AMERICANS.
German Soldiers to Get Reward for
Them, Iron Cross and Gold.

British Headquarters in France
and Belgium, Sept. 15-German
military authorities on the western
front have shown concern about the
imminence of the American army's
entry into the fighting by offering
rewards for the production of the
first American prisoners. The general
commanding the Eleventh reserve di-
vision recently put the price of 400
marks on the first American soldier
brought, dead or alive, into his
lines.
This information has been dis
closed by the diary of Prussian SER
geant of the Twenty-third reserve
infantry regiment. He wrote at the
end of July:
I'VE are supposed to have had
American troops opposite us for some
time now, and two divisions of Por-
tuguese on our right. The man who
brings in the first American, dead or
alive, to headquarters has been prom
ised the Iron Cross of the first class,
400 marks and fourteen days leave.

SONS FIND MOTHER WOUNDED
Mrs Estelle Baker Discovered I'm
conscious Shot and Badly Beaten

Camden, Sept. 14.-Nrs. Estelle
Baker, wife of Andrew Baker, re-
siding seven miles east Of Camden,
was found in an unconscious con-
dition near her home today. A gum
shot wound in the hand and many
blows inflicted on her head with a
blunt instrument caused the injuries.
Signs of finger prints upon her throat
indicated that she had been strang-
led, the would-be-murderer evidently
leaving her for dead. Mrs. Baker
was alone at the time gathering
grapes, and tracks around showed
that she had staggered consider
able distance.
The shooting is supposed to have
occurred about 9 o'clock this morn
ing and she was found four hours
later by her sons. She was brought
to the hospital here and has been
in an unconscious condition since.
Physicians hold out no hope for her
recovery. Sheriff Hough and deputies
have been working on the case all
day, but no arrests have been made
