SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORTThe prevailing weather is causing

considerable apprehension in the fruit-growing regions of the Inland Empire,as the trees are in a critical period ofdevelopment. The temperature hasgotten below the freezing point sev-eral successive nights in the Yakimavalley and other fruit-growing disDicta. This damage, however, is morethan offset by the good done by thecold in checking the melting of snowand ice in the mountains and therebypreventing the floods that would haveresulted had warm weather continuedunremittingly. As it is, the water isnow receding, and many lumber millsthat had to shut down on account ofthe high water will soon oe able tostart again and supply the pressingdemand for lumber in the middle westand sections devastated by tornadoesand floods.In the grain and milling lines busi-

ness during the past nine months hasbeen characterized by great activity,but, as the season is nearly completed,and the grain pretty well cleaned upIn the country, mills are beginning toclose down until the new crop be-comes available. Some of the largercoast mills are still busy on old or-ders, but in a short time these toowill shut down.

wiz:lent have undergone a change-Steer heel has advanced to la cents,cow beef to 1254 cents, pork to 1$cents, spring lamb to 15017 °seta,mutton to 14 cents and pork sausageto 1254 cents. There is sUll a sheepfamine in the local markets, but thesheep ihearing season will soon beover and the situation will be re-lieved. Beet continues scarce buthose are beginning to come in a Lit-tle more abundantly.Lard and Cured Meats-Eastern lard

remains unchanged with the marketvery strong in sympathy with theshortage of hogs. Local lard has ad-vanced and is now uoted at 13 cent.'in tierces. The only change In caredmeats was a slight advance In localsmoked shoulders which are nowquoted at 13 cents. Quotations ingeneral are strong.Hides and Wool-Nothing new has

developed in this department Quo-tations on wool are demoralized onaccount of the proposed tariff reduc-tion. Business in general is quiet andsupplies somewhat restricted.

Fruits and Vegetables.Apples-Local quotations remain

unchanged with the situation unim-proved. Reports from Chicago statethat the market is strong and re-celpts limited, while business is verysatisfactory. At New York there wasa good demand under heavy receiptsand the market held firm.Strawberries-Cal. strawberries are

now in and are quoted at $3.50 percrate of 15 cups. It will probably befour weeks before local berries arein.Other Quotations-Other quotations

remain unchanged with business nor-mal.Potatoes-No improvement is re-

ported locally. Dealers are selling foralmost any price obtainable. At NewYork, although receipts were notheavy, quotations were lower andbusiness dull. At Chicago the mar-ket failed to recover the slump of lastweek.Other Vegetables-Cal. new pota-

toes are now in and are selling at 8cents per pound. New Cal. cabbageis now on the market, selling at 3cents per pound. New Cal. peas arealso in, selling at 10 cents per pound.Bermuda onions are selling at $2.75per crate. Asparagus and rhubarbhave declined a trifle. Florida celeryis off the market. Other quotationsremain unchanged.

Grain, Flour and Feed.Wheat-Quotations advanced dur-

ing the week: Red Russian in sack isnow quoted at 7344 ceqts, Club at7644 cents, and Binestem at 8654.The situation shows no new features.Receipts are very light and it is prob-able that there will be no material increase until the next crop comes off.In a great many localities warehouseshave shut down for the season asthere is not sufficient business to war-rant keeping them in operation. Ex-port business is practically at • stand-still.Flour-Although there has been no

advance in prices the flour market isquite strong in sympathy with theslight advance in wheat. Business onthe whole is dull and buyers are tak-ing only for immediate requirements.With the good wheat prospects mill-ers are not looking for any improve-ment in the buying of uour in the local territory.Feed-Quotations in this depart-

ment show a considerable change.Timothy has advanced to $21.00 perIon, feed wheat to $30.00, rolled bar-ley to $28.00 and oats to $30.00. Thisis probably due, in a certain meas-ure to prospects of poor crops in Cal-ifornia. The demand and the supplyare of normal proporteme.

Provisions.Ilutter-Although quotations show

no change over those of last week,there are prospects for a decline intwo or three days. Incrased receiptscan naturally be expected as the grassIs getting longer and furnishing bet-ter feed for the cows. At New Yorkthe market slumped under heavy re-ceipts. At Chicago the demand re-lazed and the market was weaker.Eggs-Prices in this department re-

main unchanged and prospects arethat they will remain so for sometime to come. The demand is normaland receipts heavy. All the surplus isgoing into storage. Reports from theeast state that receipts are heavy andthat stock is going into the coolerquite freely.

Poultry-No new features are noticeable in this department. Receiptscontinue ample to satisfy the normaldemand.Fresh Meats-Quotations in this de-

Loans Increase at New York-BrightOutlook In Writ.

The Financier says:Special bond and securities amen-

tying, as well as borrowing on com-mercial account, increased the leansof the New York clearing house banksto the extent of $39,174,000 for theweek ended April 26.This heavy expansion in loan com-

mitments brought out a correspond-ing increase of about the sameamount in net deposits and increasedreserve requirements by over $9,000.-000. The effect of the gain in cash,amounting to 84,018,000 as a result ofthe movement from the Interior, wasnot nearly sufficient to overcome thelarger reserve requirement and as aresult the banks reported a decreaseof ;3,940,150 in cash reserve. the Preleent surplus above the 25 per cent min-imum standing at $15,145,700. Thesefigures are based on the report of ac-tual conditions at the

MINES AND MINERS

• • •Dun's Review says:Notwithstanding the recent mod-

erate reduction in trade and Indus-trial activity it is significant that con-fidence still prevails and in the westand south a spirit of optimism is man-ifest as to the future-largely basedupon the line crop outlook for bothcotton and wheat-which contrastswith the more conservative feelingthat exists in eastern centers.The work of recovery from the ef-

fects of the midwestern floods Is pro-gressing and this gives Increasing re-lief to business. The tariff readjust-ment continues to inspire caution inthe trade circles more immediately af-fected, but the end of uncertainty isnow not far distant. Weather condi-tions are distinctly better and thisgives an impetus not only to buildingoperation., but also retail trade andreal estate transfers.Money conditions are easier both at

home and abroad, and while there issome renewal of anxiety regarding theBalkan situation, International condi-tions as a whole are much less dis-turbing. Pig iron is somewhat moreactive, but at lower prices. The ironand steel mills report business as ful-ly up to normal.

WOOLEN MANUFACTURERS

Up Against Some Knotty ProblemsThose Days.

Woolen manubletarsirs are certain-ly up against some knotty problems.With radical chews la the tariff im-minent, the whole machinery of thedistributing trade thrown out of gearby the garment workers' strike, andthe mills facing wholesale cancella-tions while goods were accumulating,It would seem the manufacturer hadsufficient trouble in their hands with-out having to endure the charges thathave been made that curtailment ofoperations has been resorted to forpolitical effect. It may be that manyof the manufacturers would have beeninclined to curtail for political effectbut the facts seem to indicate thatthe logic of events has compelled themto curtail whether so inclined or not.

Circassian Walnut Facts.The United States is probably the

largest consumer of Circassian Walnut,one of the world's best known andmost expensive cabinet woods, saysthe Department of Agriculture.The high cost of Circassian walnut

is due to the scarcity of the beau-tifully figured variety demanded forfurniture and interior finish, for thetree itself is more widely distributedthan almost any other of Commercialimportance. The demand for the bestwood, however, has always outrun thesupply. Even in the eighteenth cen-tury, when wars in Europe were freequeJit, so much Circassian walnut wasused for gunstocks that the supplywas seriously depleted. Early in thenineteenth century the wood of 12,000trees was used for this purpose alone.Single trees, containing choice burlsor fine bird's eye figures have sold formore than $3,000.The tree is native to the eastern

slopes of the Caucasus and rangeseastward to the foothills of the Him-alaya mountains, from which it ex-tends southward to northern India andthe mountains of upper Burma. Ithas been widely planted in Europeand the United States-in this countryunder the name of English walnutThe wood grown here, however, hasnot the qualities demanded by thecabinet and furniture maker. Muchof the Circassian walnut now usedcomes from the Black Sea and fromother parts of Asia.According to a circular just issued

by the forest service the demand forCircassian walnut has resulted in thesubstitution of other woods. Our ownred gum is often sold as Circassianwalnut, and butternut is also similarIn general appearance to the lesshighly figured grades. Many goodAfrican, Asian and South Americanwoods resemble Circassian walnut,though none possesses the magnificentfigure, delicate tones and velvety tex-ture of the latter. The circular dis-cusses the supply and uses of Circas-sian walnut, and those who wish tdknow how possible substitutes may bedistinguished can learn from this cir-cular the distinctive marks which thegovernment's experts have discovered.

- The Canning of Sardines.

The sardine industry, which hasgrown to be a most important one.was started in the United States about1875. It is said that the packing ofAmerican or domestic sardines wasbegun in a practical and business-likeway by Julius Wolff of New YorkCity in about 1877. It continued asmall business for Ave or six yearsand developed slowly but has now sogrown that the total output aggre-gates about two to two and a quartermillion cases of 100 cane each, ofsardines per annum, says St. LouisInterstate Grocer.The fish caught and used for the

packing of domestic sardines belongto the herring family and are said tobelong to the same species (Clupea)as the sardines of France. Portugaland Spain.The fish are caught in weirs built

near the shore in the bays of theNorth Atlantic coast, and Eastport,Maine, is regarded as the center ofthe industry.The fish come in with the high tide

and swim around the enclosure vainlylooking for the entrance and areveered away from it by the wings.The fishermen then come with their

boats and a long seine which theydraw around inside the weirs anddraw together gradually until theyget the fish into a small space, whenthey are dipped out with large dipnets and dumped into the boats, inwhich they are either taken direct tothe cannery or being transferred intoa large boat are conveyed to a can-nery.Most of the canneries are built di-

rectly upon and over the water sothat fishing boats can motor along-side and unload the freshly caughtfish.When the boat arrives at the can-

nery, the fish are lifted out in largebaskets and put upon small cars orconveyors and taken immediately tothe cutting tables. Much of this workis done by steam power.The center of the domestic sardine

canning industry is at Eastport,Maine, though Lubec, North Lubec,Robbinstote Jonesport, Perry, Maine,and other towns are important.

In the process of canning the sar-dines pass from the scales to the cut-ters; who remove the heads and theviscera. The fish are then put in netsand placed in running water and thor-oughly washed. They are then placedin a strong salting or pickling vat forabout an hour, from which they areremoved, drained, and placed on wireframes or flakes.These frames or flakes are then

placed in a revolving or rotary ovenand the fish are dried and partiallycooked, and great care must be exer-cised in this process so as to cookthem just enough and not to discolorthem.

After cooking the fish are removedto the packing room, where they arepacked in oil, mustard sauce or spicedwith cloves, mustard seed, allspiceand bay leaves.When packed In the cans the sar-

dines are put into e processing tankand cooked from one to two hours asto the size of the can, taken out, test-ed, coated, cleaned snit cased:

Users of the arti-cle, especially automobile owners, areprovoked at the price demanded andconsequently are boycotting it asmuch as possible, says the 011 CityDerrick. But this will not lower theprice so long as the demand is somuch greater than the production, andwith the increased use of autos dur-

lug the summer months now approach-ing there will be a still greater callfor the product, and probably moreappreciation in value. The users asa rule cannot realize that the advancehas been caused solely because theconsumption has Outgrown the pro-duction, or the ability to produce it.Some idea of the limitations to pro

duction can be gained by estimatingthe amount of gasoline that couldhave been obtained from the Penn-sylvania crude produced in February.The amount of the crude product forthat month was 1,737,519 barrels. Ityields a greater percentage of gaso-line than that from any other Mild,and the refiners estimate that by run-ning to the limit they can get 14 percent from it. The February produc-tion would, therefore, have yielded243,152 barrels, or 10,212,384 gallons,if all of it had been used for that pur-pose. 1 ohs would have about suppliedthe foreign experts alone, and left theusers of it in this country to take thatmade from other oils, and casing-headgas. The estimate is a rough one, butit makes a good illustration of thenarrow limits between consumptionand production.The outlook, therefore, does not

promise any lower prices, but it doesopen a broad field for inventive chem-ists to find substitutes. Many ofthese are already on the market, orbeing promised. It is probable thatsome of them are mere possibilities,while others may have real merit.The latest one to demand attentioncomes from Berlin, where a Germanchemist believes he has succeeded indiscovering a suitable substitute forgasoline. It is obtained from petro-leum, and the claims for it are thatit can be manufactured at one-thirdthe price, and its explosive power isgreater than gasoline. A trial tripwith the new compound was recentlymade for thirty miles, and the engineworked faultlessly.In America the refiners are also

seeking for something to take theplace of gasoline, for they realize thatthe world's consumption of the prod-uct will soon pass beyond the possi-bility of supplying it. It is mostprobable that the engines will haveto be transformed to use heavierproducts. This is the simplest wayout of the difficulty, and it can bedone. Engines are now made thatUse' tt7llde 011, or refined, and the ap-plication of their principles to auto-mobiles will relieve the demand onthe one product.
