ORIENTAL EGGS ARE SLIGHTLY
LARGER THAN "YANKEE."
Various Prices Quoted on Eggs
Portland Markets Today.
in
Portland, Dec. 80. Egg prices vary
all along the street today, hardly
any two places asking the same for
.fresh Oregons. The range is all the
way from 40 to 46 cents a . dozen,
with the bulk of the business under
stood to be about midway of this
quotation.
Chinese eggs have made their ap
pearance in the local markets and
,are being offered at 35 to 40 cents
a dozen. These eggs are a little
larger than local pullets and a trifle
smaller than grown hen's egrs. In
color the shell is a dark brown.
When shipped from China the eggs
were fresh and came across the ocean
under refrigeration to Seattle, from
which point the shipment was sent
here. This is the first time this
year that these eggs have made their
appearance in the local market. The
shipment consisted of 25 cases nd
was brought here in an effort,
importer says, to relieve the present
situation and by way of experiment.
It is understood that but little diffi
culty has been experienced in dispos
ing of them.
It requires 30 days for the trip
from China to Seattle, but it is
claimed that these eggs are just as
fresh, and even more so, than many
which come from points in th
try and are offered daily in the mar
kets of the city. If the experiment
proves successful it is probable that
additional shipments will be brought
here.
Orders have been sent to Seattle for
storage eggs and it is expected that
shipments of these will arrive late
today or early tomorrow.

fF you have never used Electric

used them and then, for some reason,
areforeed to do without them--THLN
you will realize how much their bril
liance and convenience meant to you,
You needn't do without them in La
