' Considerable weakness Is showing in
the egg trade along Front street, and
11 begins to look as If tin price will
be forced to 17o a dozen before the pres
. ent bearish movement subsides.
Cleanups of case count eggs were re
ported a Ions -Front street during the
Jest 24 hours at. 18c a loseTi.-"Ktforts
to secure - more than this, except for
iimited tots, have failed, and those that
have asked the higher figures still re
tain their holdings.
iteceipts of eggs along ' the street
have been very liberal of late. The in
crease In offerings has not been due to
'any greater production but to the fact
that some of the leading f. o. b, buyers
bail practically quit their campaign for
supplies. Whenever this happens Front
ttreet commission men always get the
ty B.i and it invarably follows tnat the
country shipper who cannot secure an
f. o. b. buyer, complains at the returns
lie receives along the street whenever
1 the market is unfavorable. When there
is an excellent dmand for ggs and f. o.
1 b. interests are after supplies, many of
the country shippers do not send their
supplies to the street on commission,
therefore are making unfair comparison
-of returns."
FORECAST FOR SHIPPERS
Weather bureau sends the following
notice to shippers:
Protect shipments as far north as Se
attle against minimum temperatures of
about 44 degrees: northeast to Spokane,

CHICKEN'S ARE LOWER AGAIN

OUTLOOK FOR HOPS IS i MILLSTUFFS CLIMB 50
NOW VERY GOOD HERE-! CENTS PER TON WITH
.DRINKING MORE BEER! OUTLOOK HIGHER YET
ly'orld'S Brew Is Increased Greatly
and Stocks of Old Hops Arc About
Exhausted; Little of Last Year's
Holdings Remain.
By Ilynian H. Colien. .
With'thfi consumption of beer show
ing a very heavy Increase at all world's
points during tho last year and with
stocks of hops (everywhere the smallest
known at this period, indications point
to a strengthening of hop -market values
everywhere for the coming crop.
While present indications are for a
good' outturn -during the coming sea
son, it is still too' early, to tell definite
ly what the crop is going to do in the
wsy 'of quantity or quality..-.
Brewers' stocks are unusually light at
all .points and speculative interests
cleaned up their holdings some time ago.
Holdings of producers - are Unusually
limited, stocks being so light at some
of the leading world's markets that def
inite quotations are hard to secure.
The Promised bie Increase in the acre
age of hops throughout the world lias ;
railed to materialise. Ihe talk that
Sacramento was going to run all other
districts out of the business has proven
to be the usual "hop dope." While the
California acreage is somewhat greater
than last season, still there has als
been an Increase In Oregon yards.
The market for spot and contract
hops is quiet at present. ' So few bales
of spot hops remain that, dealers con
sider it too expensive to make offers nt
present and buy only when stock is of
fered them, Contracts are in demand at
the price quoted, nut this growers arei
unwilling 10 accept.

The market for millstuffs Is up an
other 50c a ton, the low and high mark
being advanced that much. None are
inow offering bran under $24 a ten and
some are asking 124.50 and scarcely care
whether they j3ell or not. The present
price is the highest known here at this
time of the year, although as high as
$26 has been obtained in the middle of
the summer about three years ago.
Present prospects would Indicate that
even higher levels will be reached this
summer unless something unforeseen
occurs The outside is begging for sup
plies, but millers of the Pacific north
west have none to offer and are glad
when tney can supply their regular
trade. -
Coarse grain markets continue to
show strength, but no further changes
are announced in values.
Wheat market is dull. The severe
weakness elsewhere Is causing some of
the local buyers to hesitate, but no con
cessions are being named in values.
A very small amourft of export flour
trade Is reported at a concession of a
nickel from established values. Patent
trade is quiet at previous quotations.

Market Is Firm With Values Ad
vanced at All Points Along the
Coast; Los Angeles Stock ls Sold
at 3 Cents Per Pound.
The cabbage market is again higher.
The carload which arrived from, Los
Angeles yesterday, wa quickly , cleaned
up and this morning there was practi
cally none of that stock available for
the general trade. The product sold at
30 a pound, .
Another carload of northern Califor
nia cabbage is being offered, to the
ti ado here this morning. The, market
ror. cabbage Is firmer ana rather ex
cited as to the nrice in the south and
this quality is quoted' at 2Vj2c per
pound. The next carload from the same
place will in all probability be quoted
nt 3c; a pound because -it will cost that
much more to land here than today's
shipment. - . .
For. Los Angeles cabbage there is no
doubt that 354c a pound could have been
received owing to the excellence of qual
ity. While local produce interests do not
believe that there will be any material
shortage in cabbage supplies here with
in the near future, the firmness in the
south is causing some to forecast high
er values.
