HELP TO PRICE 7' .Local Consumption Increasing ' and fresh Ranch Stock Is : Up 1c 'a Dozen Storage Stock Is Depressed. .A better demand U shown for strictly fresh Oregon tggu In the Front street market and the price Is advanced lo a dosen. Strictly fresh ranch eras are showing quite an improvea ran in me locai wholesale district at 32e a dosen, and it Is reDorted. but not confirmed, that fractional advance over this figure has been obtained. While recelnts sof local eaas are in creasing, the demand Is much better then supplies at inia time, atyi mis ac counts for the ' upward movement of prices during the -ret 14 rTSurs. The north Is offering to buy eggs,- but is not willing aa yet to pay tne aavancea vaiue asked by lbs trad a. Advance is Merely Temporary, That today's advance In the egg mar- the decllr for an Instant or two is the opt ton Is backed by years of observation. ket Is merely a temporary one. and that Ine la values wss stopped but pinion of the egg trade in general, and this opln- n is bacaea vy years ox ouaervsiion. Beoause of the artificial values es tablished for fresh eggs by speculators In eastern stock, consumption waa cut to the quick, and therefore for soma months there has been only a very Jim Ited call for fresh ranch stock. Prices ,ive been practically prohibitive for tiat period. - Now' that fresh ranch' eggs are In bet nuriDly and prices hsve some to a ,vu whore consumotlon Is not stifled. i In- call for the home goods Is Increas ing, and there Is a serious decrease in tin. sale of cold storaao atock. There fore speculators In the cold storage product are inclined to over quote Ore gon eggs (which they do not sell) sim ply to force a more suitable demand and value for their eastern product, toraare Errs Are Oat of Bate. Time for sale of storage eggs has F Tactically passed, and still It can be ruthfirlly atated that there are more cold storage eggs held In Portland to day than could be shown In ordinary seasons during the b?st selling periods. One small firm along Front street Is stated to hold about 100 cases of Ore gon storage .besides a goodly supply of eastern eggs, which" cost the firm around He t doxen. Another firm Is hnldlnr 7S0 oases of eastern storage, snd one of the larger sellers Is said to have still a greater amount on hand that it would be. willing to sell at a price a number of cents below actual cost. . Extra select storage eggs, all white, were" sold by one Front street firm at He a dosen this morning, and reports indicate salAs around 20c for the same claas of goods. SMELT FROM THE COLUMBIA.
