Ppultry market ki quiet. - : -California red onions '' Strawberries sell low. ' rsew Ktatoea quoted lower. Potato shipments good. , , Shipping shad to China. , Cherry market is down. Butter -was never ao scarce, farmers are holding pruHe. Dressed meat aru (air. . Egg Boo Ars raking-. In . an effort to unload a large amount of eastern eggs which they have pur chaaed at Rood prices, aome of the Front street handlers are making thing un comfortable for their competitors oy putting out fake quotations. , The larger handlers of eggs era quite willing to ell supplies along , the street at 18 18 He, with moat of the business in lots .being transacted at the lower figure. - Some dealen who sells but a case or two of local eggs and makes a practice of handling the eastern product whenever possible Is quoting Oregon eggs as high - t JOc a. dozen, but the fact that this dealer or those dealers do not receive more than one or two cases a day or a weak puts them out of the running as far -as making an accurate quotation on eggs here is concerned. The fact that they may be able to dispose of one case at a fractional advance over the market scarcely forms the basis for a real mar Vet value. Front street and all produce sections consider the real market quo tlon the figure at' which most of the market's supplies can be moved. Those V'wha.. handle eastern stock can, by put ting up, fictitious quotations on Oregon eggs which they do not handle secure a higher price for their foreign stocks, -thus hurting the producer of this sec tion, Instead of helping him, as they should. While the receipts of egga at this time are not heavy, they are fully able to supply the demand at 18g$lSc, and anyone can today purchase supplies along Front street at these figures. During the past 24 hours large sup plies of eggs have been offered the boosting dealers at 18c a dozen, but they would not accept them. Foul try Market. Is Quiet. While there is no real pressure In the poultry market at this time, stocks are not cleaning up quite as readily along the street as could be wished, xnere is an Increasing supply of broilers and fry ers, but to date all supplies, have been absorbed at the quotations, printed by The Journal. Dressed meats were In light supply during the 24 hours, but the market was not overstrung ana tprke sbowed no change for the day. ; California Kd Onions Arrive. The expected shipment of new Cali fornia onions arrived on the steamer State of California and was' unloaded this morning. Supplies were not In extra good shape, but found a fair de mand at , 3. 508. 75 per 100 pounds. Bermuda onions are still In liberal de mand, with former prices maintained. The California steamer brought in quite liberal supplies of carrots, beets and oth-r sacked vegetables, supplies of which have been quite short In this mnrki't of late. Because of the quite liberal offerings, prices are down in the cherry market. Both white and black' stock now shown. .Shipments of new California potatoes In this direction are increasing, with lower prioes ruling for today. 1 Ship ments of old Oregon to the south like wise Increasing, with prices maintained. Britf Votes of the Trade. . According to IocrI handlers, farmers aru not quite so willing to sell their old prunes since the recent reports of dam age to the coming crop were printed. Strawberries are sellin at all sorts of firices in the local markt today. "Dol ars" are ranging from $1.25 to $1.60 per crate of 15 boxes, while California Jes- sies are from $1 to $1.26 for fancy stock. Poor stock sells too low to quote. Oregon berries holding. Cucumbers from local hothouses are In large supply, and the price is down 25c. Ranee from $1 to $1.60 per dozen. A shipment -of bananas from Central America arrived in rattier green inis morning. Good condition, however. De mand is verv aood. Orange market is still advancing for navels, with supplies very light Another advance of about 10c per 100 pounds is shown in the price of beans today.
