Tbe'heevy arrivals of eastern eggs In this market of lata are reflected In the , "weakres now being shown in locaj val ues. For eastern egga all aorta of prices are ruling- at this time. Select -Ajxril storage stock, carefully candled. Is to- day being offered by Front street hand lers from 26 to tlhie a dosen and there are reports that some stock con, ' sldered first class has been roovd within the last few days as low as 15c. Those who have figured on still fur- . tner hftinr of egr values are now fig uring upon how to unload with most safety. The whole proposition Is that the eastern egg sellers have handed the local people a gold brick, carefully gilded with fictitious: local values. Some assert that the gold brick was really heated and this is the reason why some-: of the handlers of eastern stock her are so anxious to let go !. k n1lA delay. -The sharp decline In the price of asters eggs locally has had a weak ' enlng effect upon local product. Ore rorv eggs are coming slightly faster and the.trailasrhlch was talking of nothing lower than 40c for ranch stock, is now quite willing to let go at S8c and even 37 He is not refused when there are any signs that the dealer will not buy at a higher figure. Hew Oranges Bus Tomorrow. " The first new navel oranges of the present season 'are due to arlve In this city on the San Francisco steamer to i morrow morning.

There Is a very' steady tone -In the : local potato situation at this time. While talking of the fine quality of the .California product and the unusually poor stuff produced here this season, , ' California buyers who have lately paid 4 visits -to this section, - have purchased quite liberally for future requirements. -"There seems little doubt that the Cali fornia river districts will be able to supply that section as well as other --.nearby localities with potatoes for sev eral months, but after awhile the sup- piles there will be exhausted. . The gen eral opinion of the local trade is that producers should unload at this time - anything that is not fancy. Brief Votes of Front Street. ' f Taney veal Is rather scarce and prices are stiff around 8o for select. Hogs continue weak with 7c for best stock. Chicken market is just about holding Its own with cleanups reported by the . trade at lio a pound. There Is scarcely any demand for chlttfm 'bark at this time, dealers not offering; over 6c and they are not anx ious to buy at that figure. It is an election market Concord grapes are still In an over- - supply from local yards and most sales are being made around 10 tnd 12 Ho a .basket Local grower are still holding back their onions and for this reason there la . again some talk of bringing in supplies . from California, 1 1 Front street sells at the following -prices.

Continuance of heavy arrivals of hogs in the yards and the shyness of buyers owing to the approaching election, has caused a drop of lOcfo 16c In the price of best hogs today, as compared with previous prices. While the weakness is believed to be merely temporary and caused to some extent by the decline in prices during the past few days at east ern points, receivers were not Inclined to carry over anything' that could pos sibly be sold even at sacrificed quota tion. Heceivers are all or the opinion that the market will do better after election. for at this time packers and killers are not inciinea to ouy more man they need for Immediate requirements. East-1 ern price loasas are somewhat of a sur prise, but were probably - due to the same reasons as here. . Cattle Market Xs Slow. The entire cattle market was slow for the day, killers 'showing not the slightest . inclination to do business. While receivers seemed willing to shade pcJces a fraction or two in-order to clean up, buyers could not be induced to get active. The few sales that were made were of small moment. r -Sheep .market is not inclined to show much activity, although arrivals for the day were somewhat heavier than ex pected.
