While some parties having eastern eggs to sell are trying to again boost the price of local stock or, In other words, place a falsa value on the home product in order to sell their eastern stocks at greater nrofits, the Front ' street egg market is showing decided weakness and those who do a regular local egg business state their Inability to move them all above 24c. although ome In a while a fractionally higher value Is nsked. Poultry market Is very moment, but no change is yesterday's cut niintntlons. Pressed meats are holding quit firm at former prices. Brief Votes of the Trade. Peach supplies are still scarce. Po great are sup piles or cucumoers that some sulci; were reported late yes terday as low as 2fc a box. Fancy cherries are scarce and the market Is firm. Tomato market is down another notch today with larger supplies. On Saturday the advance of 40c a case on Tarnation milk goes Into er feet and the trade is standing on tip toes to be the first to see, what new de velopments occur In the canned milk market. The fact that several new braflds of canned milk have entered the market at lower prices of lnte has fur ther oompllcated the situation. Cheese market Is firm, but values are unchanged.

Only a few sales of wheat have been' reported here, though the price for No. 1 has reached 76c.

Fire was discovered about 1:30 this morning In the lintel Vendome, a brick building of 80 rooms, one Of the largest build ings in the city. The fira was In a room occupied by the Japanese cook- By prompt work on the part of the fire department the firs was extinguished, doing damage to the amount of only $600. When the room was enterud the cook was found dead on the floor, lie had been suffocated by smoke and was ladly burned about the arms and head, though not sufficiently to cause death. It Is thought the cook had been drink ing and was smoking when he went to bod and, going to sleep, had set the bedding on fire. He was fully dressed when found. The Hotel Vendome Is in the heart of the business portion of the olty. A serious fire would have resulted but for the prompt action by which It was got undor control.
