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.

. 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.

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

A shipment -of bananas from Central
America arrived in rattier green inis

mand is verv aood.

When a piece of mall -matter -that

of the collies, the master points toward
the house where the msll is to be left

When the dog's bark Is heard on the
porch the householders know that there
Is mail for them.
If they do not answer tha harv n,n
