This applies not only to the local field, but to the coast generally. Decrease make and Increased demand are fac tors. Practically no changes are reflect ed In the market for eggs locally. In fact little change Is Indicated in any of the leading markets of the coun try. Mediums alone are very slow. Sales of turkeys locally are now of fair volume, but at late low prices. Most of the toms and hens of quality are moving to retailers 20 21c lb. Prevailing situation in the chicken market appears due only to the keen deslro on the part of many producers to liquidate and get. out of the busi ness. Others are rigidly culling their flocks. Both of these factors have resulted in the annual showing of weakness in live chicken prices, even though the present Instance reflects the lowest price since the system of Be U lng by the pound was started. In the market for country killed: calves, demand remains favorable with more business passing at the top price. Hogs ore steady and unchang ed. Demand for lambs Is Improved. Only a sagging tone is shown for potatoes. Primary points of the Pa cific northwest continue to reflect scarcely sufficient business to estab lish prices. Local Jobbing trade is very slow. Market for onions continues to mark time. Sales continue In a lim ited way at $3.50, sacks and twine but most holders are still seeking $4, which Is not yet available.

(Special) There l". but little disposition on the part of farmers to olfer their wheat for sale at this time, according to some of the buyers of this county. Con siderable Interest Is being manifest ed In the matter as to whether the railroads will return to their former carrying charges on wheat, which means a difference of slightly more thar. six cents per bushel on grain from this county to Portland. Re ports Indicate that a large part of the wheat grown here during last sea son Is still in the hands of the grow era, a large part of which Is stored at the farms. Some scattering sales of j small. lots of wheat and barley fori home feeding purposes are heard of, with the bulk of the sales being I made at lc per pound. Those hav- ! lng Hard Federation suitable for seed j grain state that they Co .not dare to , sell now but expect to see a fairly j good demand for seed in the spring, j During the past fall low wheat prices and highly unfavorable weather con- i dltions at seeding time caused some I farmers to with-hold seeding opera tions and reports indicate that much of this acreage will be seeded to spring varieties of wheat this year. : Very poor catches are the reports from several persons in this end of tho valley who have been trapping for coyotes, badger and small fur- j bearers during the past few weeks. Prices received from some of the J furs which have been marketed are said to have been exceptionally low. j In one instance a fairly good coyote pelt brought only a dollar and others ! report that little better for badger pelts marketed recently. Coyotes are reported ;o, be quite plentiful in many parts of the hills, however, the , great variation in weather condi tions have made trapping operations difficult. Continued downward trend In egg prices has placed the price at 19c per dozen at local stores. These low prices for this early in the winter season comes as somewhat of a sur prise to many. Reports from many of the farms In this community state that Increased production from flocks is coming later than has been the case in a number of years and with the present balance of egg and feed prices most owners are fincMng it extremely difficult to break even on feeding costs. - . . Young lambs continue to arrive at r few of the farms in this commun ity and in most instances fairly good luck is being had in saving the new arrivals. A number 'of others report that lambing with their flocks will start around the first of February. Sam Meek was busy the early part of the week hauling some hay from tho C. E.
