Steady Tone In
Egg
Trade; No
Price Changes
. PORTLAND, Jan. 30 W While
there appeared a generally steady tone
In the local egg trade for the week
end, quotations were unchanged as a
rule. - The steadiness here appeared
In direct contrast to the extreme
weakness again reflected in the Cali
fornia as well as eastern trade al
though this showing Is somewhat re
lieved by the fact that Portland and
other northwest prices are already at
- an extreme low mark.
That the starting or the storage
egg input season Is about to ma- ;
terlallze In the Pacific northwest is.
Indicated by the lack of competition
among former keen sellers.
Another change appears in the sit
uation. Producers are no longer ped
dling the stock from store to store
ing that they at last realize the seri
ousness of this. j
There was no open market change
In the price of butter locally for the
day. On the produce exchange the
cube market was also stationary. No
change In the price of butterfat.
Market for live chickens continues
to reflect a very slow trading tone
here with, little change in the list.
Here and there offers of 9c for light
weight hens are heard but there ap
pears no snap in the buying.
There Is a very good demand local
ly for dressed hen turkeys but the
call for toms is rather alow with
shade of weakness reflected. Sales
of hens are quickly made 21c lb. gen
erally for No. 1 grade.
. There was a rather acute shortage
of hothouse rhubarb In the local
trade for the weekend as a result of
the almost general failure of arrivals
from the Sumner section. Local offer
ings were far below requirements,
"Roller" potatoes from Yakima are
clogging the local trade with result
ing weakness In the general situation.
There is little snap In the market the
only bright spot at tne moment Do
ing for Porkdale offerings.
. Further delay In arrival of carload
lots of cauliflower from California to
gether with the impossibility of se
curing stocks out of the Roseburg
section, resulted In a famine In the
local market for the weekend.
In general there continued a fully
steady tone for country killed meats
along the wholesale way for the. week
end although the market for hogs
was not any too good. Lambs, bulls
and fancy calves were sought.

Tho events of the last few days at

there was nothing but gloom. Now

over the ruins of Chapel, hundreds
of Japanese marines, plainclothes
reservists and rowdy elements scourg
ed the settlement In an orgy of law
lessness. Every man of them carried a pis
tol in his hand, his finger on the
trigger. They swarmed through the
streets on foot and in automobiles,
dashing through the winding alleys,
searching In every corner for Chi
nese. Gunfire Sweeps Streets
Japanese marines on motorcycles
with side cars swept the streets with
machine gun fire and there were
gangs of Japanese civilians armed
with clubs and baseball bats.
This menacing mob mixed with
thousands of Chinese refugees riding
in rickshas, staggering along afoot,
all headed toward quieter sections.
By their own statement the Jap
anese were looking for snipers and
other Chinese whose actions were
questionable, but It was not appar
ent by what standards they Judged
those actions.
Time after time small groups of
Japanese were seen hustling through
tho traffic with a lone Chinese cap
tive, or perhaps two or three, hur
rying them no one knew where.
Frequent S layings
In many cases the Japanese burst
Into shops, dwellings, buildings of
any kind where they might find a
Chinese. Often they got in by break
ing down the doors and usually they
beat the unfortunate Chinese they
found. Frequently they killed them.
As this wave of lawlessness swept
over the Chtneso business district,
all tho shops were closed and planks j
were nailed across the shoo fronts.
Thero wero no lights insido and from
tho front tho places looked deserted,
but in each one were dozens of
frightened Chinese.
Tho Japanese circulated reports
that Chinese snipers wero picking off
Japanese residents in the quarter and
that it was imperative to root them
out. If that was the purpose the
Job appeared to bo dono under no
central authority but by individuals
and gangs who were a law unto them
selves. Gang Attacks Hospital
Ono such gong, each member with
pistol in his hand, tried to break
into St. Luke's hospital, operated by
thQ Amcrlcan Episcopal nusslon. They
Eala Blupers were ln tne builal ng but
nospltBl officials held them, off and
,mRlly thoy left wltnout getting in.
This wild disorder swept the few
municlpal policemen to the sidelines
but now and then ono could be seen
half hidden in a doorway, looking
on helplessly.
To neutral observers who watched,
it appeared that nothing coidd pre

thero was a general belief that the
vicious fighting which took place ln
Chapel would be repented ln Hong

stood ono of Shanghai's leading ho

Chapel Itself was rapidly becoming
unfit even for battle. It was a fur
naco with great columns of smoke
rising from tho ruins of tho ram
shackle Chinese houses. As dark-
uess fell the flames engulfed still

for miles around.
Refugees struggling into the set

buildings already had been destroyed
and tho fire was still spreading un-

In the meantime authorities were
