' Eastern eggs are being taken from storage and are being offered tbe local trade in small lots. Those who are full of eastern stock are boosting the local produot in order to secure a. better . price for the former. This is the same old game and It Is played annually here, much to the detriment of the local market, for while the latter is boosted In value,, the outside stock is 'old..- - -. . v. -.i . . Receipts of local eggs are Quite fair Cor this period of-the season and the market is a shade weaker with about half the sales just now at J8o in case lots , undelivered. : Those -who deliver charge an additional cent a dosen and this therefore cannot be construed as the real-market Despite this some few ales of undeveloped stock are still be ing made at 29a ;-.....:.:v.V',...-i.,-Vii-t-"--r Watemtelams Drop &arpljr. ;.... -' Watermelons have been-sold In the Portland market during the day as low as lea pound, but the general value along ' the street is 114l"c' The fruit costs the commission men about 11.40 per hundred pounds so the amount they are losing as a result of the cool weather and. the . fight with each other iseasiiy esuinatea.

Poor quality continues to depress the cattle market a-enerallv and even at the , re cently lowered value supplies are rather airricuit- to move. 5 . - Buyers ar again talking of good .stuff ana as iney have cnanged tneir minas regarding lower values, it seems possi ble that this time they really want the stuff. While no 'recent sales of steers have . been ; made . in the yards beyond $4.25. still 'this was quite a good price iur Ull quanir Bnuwn iu w un in baala of $4.60 for beat.. t It 1 likely therefore that the 'latter figure would still be obtainable her for fancy steers, Although buyers are much more discrim inating in their purchases. This latter condition is due most to the inability of commission handler and buyers to stop the influx of very poor quality. Too Many yoor Cows Coming Forward. Too many poor quality eowsre com ing: forward at this time for the good of the market, although If good cows came forward there would be tad trouble in disposing of them. Because of the poor quality showing buyers are inclined much more toward the bear side today than yesterday but practicaly no differ ence Is shown In current quotations from those formerly in effect - - Srojal&al Sot Ban Costumes, - There continues very nominal run of hogs in the Portland yards and even the stuff now coming forward is scarce ly fit to kill, according to buyers. It ha been so long a time since real top stuff put in appearance here that It would be exceedingly bard to say zactly what price would role. , For the day the run of hogs was 94 head comparable with none yesterday, 80 Tuesday. 129 Monday, none last Sat urday, 88 Friday and 122 -Week ago today, - . - -v ' Knoh Strength etalaed by Sheep. - : In the sheep market the showing of strength is wonderful.

The former were twice wel come. - ' -v. :.-- Bridges A Pingra of Oakland, had load of cattle on today' market. - Commission handlers expressed them selves as follows regarding the situa tion: , CoL Hall for Sharkey Commission Co. Market Is dull and rather weak for sattle because so much poor quality is torn ing forward. Other lines are firm. John Welker . for Gould Commission Co. Good cattle ar not hard to -move for It is the poor quality that is caus ing; practically all the trouble In the yaraa at tms time. J-oe M. Lacey of Hunt St Lacey. niut are a 111119 Dit siow in moving just now.- There are too many poor, tbin cows jcoralng forward and these are being utilised by buyers In bearing down, general-quotation. William Burke Jr. for Burke Commis sion Co. Hog supplies are unusually limited at this time while demand is very good for select quality with high est price obtainable. Cattle ar dull because too much off - grade stuff Is offering. Tom Benson if T. C. Benson A firm- Poor quality is what is hurting the cattie marxet at tnis time more man anything else.

The market for new wheat is In tensely firm and buyers report their in ability to secure sufficient stocks even at these values. . while the harvest is still very sound, quite a lot of - new wheat has already reached the ware houses, but producer are not inclined to sell in a hurry.
