MARKET AT SPOKANE.
While the situation as to community
prices in general is still undetermined
there is an increasing confidence in
the comparative stability of the gen
eral market situation. The final out
come of REIMBURSEMENT" in this coun
try is likely to hinge ultimately on the
question of employment or unemploy
ment more than on any other condi
tiOns and, here two great forces at
work, one, trying to maintain condi
tions of general employment through
constructive programs, and the other
force, comprising radical labor ele
ments, apparently trying to bring
about through strikes a condition OF
unemployment that might be danger
GUS to the whole economic fabric.
In this section the wheat plant con
tinues in a very favorable condition
Mild weather is starting produce early
LAUNDERING shows steady improvement
but mining must undergo consider
able readjustment.
In dry goods, there have been some
further changes this week following
the basic reductions in staple cotton
goods last week, and the market is
now regarded as fixed" until mid
summer or late in the summer. In
drugs, scarcity is forcing up some
prices, while freer offerings or fall
ing off in demand is causing declines
in other lines, particularly domestic
botanicalss many imported botanicals
are still scarce. In iron and steel
and hardware, there is a fair amount
of business doing in spring lines, with
no further material change in basic
prices.
In grocery and produce lines there
are further upward adjustments in
roasted coffees, also in corn meal
head lettuce and green peppers, while
declines are noted in rolled oats, mo
lasses, butter, eggs, cattle, sheep, NUT
ton, lamb, oranges, sweet potatoes and
California cabbage, cauliflower and
celery.
