MARKET AT SPOKANE.

In the general transition of business
to peace basis seems to be going for
ward with fewer serious jolts or
bitches than was commonly antici-
pated. Unemployment is still increas-
ing, but slowly, and spring activities,
together with the inception of public
works on large scale, is pretty sure
to absorb the slack within the next
few months.
Crop reports are of most encourag-
ing character. Conditions are excel
lent throughout the Northwest, SO far
as seasonal developments permit of
making forecast. 1t is generally
predicted that this will be the banner
fruit year for the Pacific Northwest.
Government authorities make a pre-
liminary estimate of shipments of
10000 cars of fruits from the Yakima
valley alone, and corresponding ex-
pansion in canning and preserving ac.
tivities is practically assured. A
large acreage of spring grain and fair
conditions for winter wheat give as
surance of excellent returns from the
cereal harvests.
In dry goods, cottons are steady to
firm since the radical declines of the
last three months; retail distribution
Is increasing. Drug markets continue
quiet and dull for the most part, large
buyers holding Off In hardware lines,
primary markets are still unsettled
and uncertain though there is a bet

sonable utilities. Nails are down to
conform to reduced prices on other
basic iron and steel products.
In groceries and produce lines there
have been very few price changes this
week, the few advances being mostly
seasonable. Cornmeal has declined
and advances are noted in cheese,
sheep. pork, mutton, barley and corn.
Provisions.
Butter-The market ought to be
going down right now, but it isn't.
Receipts seem to be getting scarcer,
and San Francisco and some other
western markets went up cents on
Wednesday. 1t is probable that the
radical reductions in January, to-
gether with the "flu" epidemic, caused
farmers to quit feeding and let stock
run down, awaiting grass. Local quo
tations unchanged at 81 cents for
prints, 62 cents for cartons and GOO
81 for butterfat.
Eggs-Local quotations unchanged
at $11.50 to the producer and $3.50
wholesale. Production is steadily en-
larging, but demand is very active,
and thus the market says very slowly.
Poultry There have been no
changes, the market continuing in a
rather nominal position with scanty
offerings and prices almost prohibi.
tive of much demand.
Fresh Meats-Receipts at the union
stock yards for the week ended April
2 were BIG cattle, "a calves, ISL hogs
and 102 sheep. The only price change
is an advance of so cents on sheep.
In the dressed list there are further
advances in pork and mutton.
Lard and Cured Meats - There
have been no further advances since
those noted in the past few weeks
The strength in this market has been
and is due not only to the advancing
prices of hogs but particularly to the
fact that Europe and Germany are in

Great Facts Hard to Win.

The highest truths are hard to put
into entertaining forms. You expect
to teach children through stories,
games and the exhibition of the con-
crete. Grown-ups are expected to learn
from the facts presented, arguments
and the abstract. Empty heads and
near-empty heads have to be constant
ly amused. Abstract facts are too
elusive for their truant observation
and perception. Tney need spOOn-fed
products. With men of brains it's DIFF
ferent. They love problems hard to
solve. They grow by responding to
llfe's challenges. So when you think
things tame begin to find why they are
so. The chances are you will find the
fault In yourself. You haven't given
all the attention you should. The great
est facts have to be sought to be won.
