Extracts from tho report follow:
"A ocrusal of tho reports from the
Individual districts and from tho mer
cantile houses Impresses clearly tho
characteristic features of tho eco
nomic situation In tho Pacific North
west.
"Tho county reports, with few ex
ceptions, Indtcato an increased acre
ago In cultivation and tho prospect of
n larger average yield per acre. No
general damage has been suffered by
any of tho cereals, although "fcovornl
areas were Injured by unseasonnhlo
draught and high winds In tho early
spring. Tho first cutting of alfalfa
and clover was generally a loss owing
to Into rain. Fruit, with tho excep
tion of tho early cherries and berries.

pec U.
"Of several hundred reports re
ceived from Jobbers, manufacturers
and leading wholcsalo and retail
houses, 80 per cent show an incrcaso
in volume of buslnes.s 17 per cent
show a decrease and 3 per cent no
change. Of the same reports 40 per
cent Bhow collections Improved, 33
per cent show no change and 27 per
cent show collections worse. Of
bouses reporting, 33 per cent claim
prospects better for nn increase of
trade In tho ensuing months of the
year, 42 per cent regard prospects as
equal to thoso of 1912 and 25 per
cent regard prospects as worse than
in tho corresponding period of tho
previous year.

and still moro perhaps to tho stimu
lus of tho largo crop of. 1912. A
small amount of tho Increase Is ow
ing to tho diversion of norvago from
fodder and fruit crops.
"Tho fall rains of 1912 followed by
a favorable winter made possible a
heavy crop of fall-sown wheat, and
while dry and cold weather In tho
earl)" spring caused some damage, at
this dato n yield fully equal to (if
not greater than) tho largo crop of
1912, Ib expected.
