Late yes terday afternoon one house sold a bunch - of esxa at 28c a dosen. These eggs were local ranch. The holder figured 'that the market stood little chance of bettering Itself, and therefore consid ered himself lucky In unloading. Some of the stock had been held for awhllo and would soon deteriorate In quality. Bnsiaess Better la Brr Market. While prices have made practically no headway In the loyal okk market during the past 24 hours, business is In much better shape and sales are more easily made at, the prices quoted thau the were last week. Talk of 16c for local eggs aeems foolish when anyone can buy all the supplies they need at lie. and for caae count sales were made aa low as JOe a dosen todHV. This can i easily be proven by the bills of the transactions In question. Desperate because of the huge sun plies of eastern eggs remaining unsold on their bands, eastern handlers here are making every effort to unload, even though they plate an artificial value on the local product. So much elated are handlers of east ern eggs that they can unload even at low prices that they do not hesitate to quote the lowest value for their supplies If a legitimate sale is In pros pect. 'There were reports current this mornlrg to th effect that eastern eg had been sold In big lots during the pas 24 hours as low as 18 20c a dozen. On such, transactions the sellers lose practically 12c a dosen.. So Much Needed for Railroad Construction Animals That Little Is Offered Here From Eastern Oregon.

"Several sales published In a morn ing paper recently," says Julius Wolf, a -well known hop factor of Sllverton, "have been at least 2c a pound above the prke1 actually paid. ,The entire trade knows. this. I believe that the hop market is good enough without lying about conditions." While there Is a 'better feeling all through the local hop market, no busi ness has been closed because growers are rather excited In their views. "We own several hundred hales of hops ourselves," says Mr. Wolf, "and would like to see the market advance, but there Is no use In Sending out fake imormaTion. Northwest Crop Weather.

The season's record for cow prices was broken today, when one cow was sold In the Stockdale yards at $4.N76 or 40c above the extreme high point hertofore reached.

A number of sales of good cow were made around $4.25. Market for' steers was firm at $5.35 as mentioned by, The Journal yesterday.
