For some time much complaint has
been made by consumers and retail deal

that were supposed to be strictly fresh

eneral that ths trade investigated and
at some shippers were buying
or eastern eggs at low values.

and other markets as strictly

Retallera began to bur more sparing
ly of local eggs as the days progressed
because they claimed they could buy
equally as good quality In eastern eggs
at a price 10c a dosen lower than they
were paying. When tne receipts or real
fresh Oregon eggs began to Increase
with the milder weather, stocks began
to accumulate, and In order to clear
ths channels of trads some dealers be
gan to sell at lower figures. Most of
tne trade stiu neia for old values, and
thus did- supplies Increase fourfold.
Whsn ths trade finally awoke to the
fact that eggs were really lower there
was an instant scramois to get from un

Demand for hops during the past

pace of the previous two weeks In the
