This Is the first time in many years mat an advance in eggs has been forced almost at the start of .the storage season. Usually there 1b practically no change In quo tations for a period of a month or sue weexs. The supply of eggs Is not as liberal as expected. The great decrease In flocks throughout tho Portland ter ritory is now being reit. Latest survey of the situation in dicates that the decrease has been nominal In the ranks of the co-opb of this territory although a serious loss is roneciea in wasningion. un attached poultry producers are show ing -the chief losses In chicken hold ings. Naturally this has somewhat complicated the situation. While the co-ops have been securing their full needB, private Interests have shown a shortage which In turn caused the latter to go into the country, and poy more money. There continues a fully steady tone In the market for butter with no change reflected . in general quota tions. Demand Is chiefly for 91 score and less with only a fair call for so called extras. There remains a very steady tone generally for cheese. From all parts of the country word conies that not only are prices being well maintained but that demand Is seasonably good. Bales of hen turkeys are now being made generally up to 20c lb. for first quality dressed birds. Toms are clean ing up at 18c lb. for best stuff. Healthy trading trend Is showing for livo chickens here but In general prices reflect no further changes. Sufficient light weight hens are now arriving to toko care . of imm?dlato wants of the trade. There is an excellent call for both mutton and country killed lamb along the wholesale way. Top lambs are easily moving at 12c and best ewes at a nickel. Advices from the Willamette valley say practically no hothouse tomatoes will be available for six weeks but cucumbers are showing a slight in crease.

By James p. Howe (Copyright, 1932. By Tho Associated tress SHANGHAI, Feb. 23 Shanghai's Chinese defenders fought off a suc cession of slashing Japanese attacks today along tho entire battlefront from Chapel to some distance beyond Klangwan., meeting every drive with bullets and bayonets. Tho fighting died down as darkness come on and after 12 daylight hours of severe fighting the battle lines of both forces were virtually un changed. Both sides sustained probably the heaviest losses of tho four days of furious fighting. Airdrome Destroyed The only success the Japanese were ablo to eke out of the bloody encounter was tho destruction of the Chinese airdrome at Hungjao with a heavy aerial bombardment. Tho air drome Is 5 mi lea west of Shanghai. The Japaneso dropped 25 heavy bombs upon it destroying all the hangars and the planes within them. The hangars wero burned. Japanese naval authorities said itheir alrplanda also destroyed the Chinese air boso at Soochow on the Shanghai-Nanking railway. - Wave after wavo of Japanese was thrown against the Chinese line dur ing tho day only to bo hurled back. The fighting was hottest along the fVont northwest of Klangwan where tho Japanese spent every ounce of strength in an attempt to complete a movement begun yesterday which was intended to surround the gar rison defending the blasted ruins of the village. A decision on the mastery of Klang wan appeared to be far off, however, and the Japanese attack began to subsldo after noon with nothing here and there.
