Storage Demand Causes Shortage In Egg Markets PORTLAND, Feb. 25 VP) Increase in storage holdings of eggs is consid ered a most vital factor ln the pre vailing trade trend. Demand for eggs to go Into storage Is actually creating a ''shortage of supplies ln the home territory; - in fact much the same situation Is reflected along the Pacific slope. Egg market prices are showing a firmer tendency along the coast than ln other sections of the ' country. Prices are stlffer all around and adds to further strengthening of the situa tion. Market for butter was without quotable change for the day either on the exchange or on the open mar ket for cubes. Demand appears best for the undergrades with a fair call for top scores. Conditions appear about steady ln the market for live chickens with no change ln values except for here and there some weakening ln heavy weight hens.

Feb. 25 (&) Normal easiness of the wool trade reflected Just before the opening of the shear ing season, is again showing, with late tradinir at eastern nointa Rhnw. lng a general lack of snap and prices ranging lower than a couple of weeks ago. Opening of the wool shearing sea son Is scheduled for early March At Pacific northwest points. Usually, tue Yakima season starts March 10, de pending upon Immediate weather con ditions. It is possible shearing may be done even earlier this year. While there usually is more or less contracting of wool in the eastern section of the Pacific northwest prior to shearing time, practically none has been confirmed this year, and none has been reported in the Willamette valley. There has been a lull in call for pre-sheartng advanced, according to local operators, indicating that those who had to borrow money already have their needs.
