There is a weaker feelln In the e(g trade again and a turther loss of lo a dozen Is shown for selected ranch along the street today. The ' top quotation this morning for candled , eggs In the local market was 46c a dosen and the trade was not really firm at that figure. l " ' As recently ioreceat in these reports the supply of fresh eggs is rowing ouite rapidly and there Is every likell fiood of very sharp leases in prices within ths immediate future . o . At this time a year ago ths market began to soften considerably. While ales of fresh ranch stock were msde as late as December 4 last year at 47c "aoaen. the same day the market be gan to break and values dropped to 45o and almost every day there was a fur ther concession In value. With increasing receipts here and trie same condition in the north and soutr, as well as lower prices at both places, the outlook 1. for a repetition of last WhilF s'torage egg stocks this . easoa re somewhat heavier than they were at this time a year ago prices prevail ing now are higher.. Thfs therefore Is a detriment to ths resent market, for Ice house operators are making des perate efforta to unload and are likely to cut their prioes to the quick to fa cilitate movement before the drop is Vo a severe. This will therefore have a direct effect upon the price of fresh stocks. ' LETTUCE MARKET HOLDS FIRM There is a firmer tone In the lettuce market, and most sales along the street are reported today at $2.60 a crate for best offerings. Another carload was reported in from the aouth today. MIXED SWEET POTATO PRICES Various prices on sweet potatoes are ruling, in the local market with b difference in quality of offerings, while aome stock Is being sold as low as ltto a pound, best offerings are firm at 2c. ORANGE ARRIVALS ARE HEAW Rather heavy arrivals of oranges are reported on the local market Several cars arrived late Saturday, but were not placed on the street until today. Prices are generally easlsr, although tops are unchanged. SICILY LEMONS DRUG MARKET .Strenuous efforts are being mads by local interests to clean up without de lay their holdings of Sicily remoiia with sales reported for best at $6.60. while California stock Is holding at 7.508. The foreign stock is. now showing very good keeping quality. CRABS AND CLAMS ARE ABSENT Owlnc to the storms off ths coast, no clams or crabs have been available In the local trade for several days. This is a general occurrence at this time of the year. The salmon run Is likewise being affected. LOCAL GARLIC SCARE ARTICLE There Is a great scarcity of garlic In the'looal market, and prioes are being held firm at 3 2c a pound for loose offerings and 15c for strings. The for eign stock which recently arrived has all been cleaned up.

WASTE PROBLEM fS BEFORE FRUIT IN Meeting of Interested Parties Has Been Called at Walla Walla for December 18. The coming meeting of aDDle man at Walla Walla, which will be held De cember 18. is attracting much Interest from the trade. The meeting will be held for the purpose of Investigating thoroughly the best methods of utiliz ing off-grade fruit that now either go 10 waste or eise oring unprofitable prices. 11. c Sampson, secretary treasurer of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors. who was made chairman of a commit tee to handle tne matter or conserva tion of fruit waste, has called a meet ing to be held at Walla Walla. Wash., December 18, for the purpone of mak ing more definite plans. Ills commit tee will gather data on outDut. what percentage of the fruit is wasted, freight rates and assembling rates, and also wlH compile statistics of existing nottnwestera Dy-proauc plants, wni work will be largely one of Investiga tion, and the eoiumittee's findings will be presented either to a convention of fruit growers several months hence or to next year's conferences at the Na tional apple show. The other concrete accomplishment has to do with banding the growers to gether into a protective league whose purposes shall be to secure uniform laws regulating the site of apple boxes, apple pack and grades: second, to edu cate the errowera and to eliminate or chard pests; and third, to handle mat ters oi demurrage ana rreignt rates. Tho new learue will cover everything relating to the fruit business except marketing, price making and distribut ing. The marketing side already is be ing cared for by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange and the North Pacifio Dls. tributors. DENVER CATTLE ARE JiOWER Sales Are Steady to 25c Off; Ijambs Advanced 15 Cents.

Coun try millers continue to hold rather ex cited vlewa and as some of them have very scant supplies on hand, they are purchasing as flulckly as possible in the interior. Interior wheat prices are generally considered about a cent higher than the tidewater basis and instances are known where some of the country mills have paid a premium of several cents a bushel above the tidewater basis. Sales of club wheat were reported in the interior late Saturday as high as 82 c a bushel tidewater basis. Actual business at this price was confirmed, but there were no reports that a cent above this price had been paid. Foreign markets were inclined to show weakness and lower prices owing to the improvement in the Argentina situation. Coarse grains continue very slow and dragging.

The apple mar ket in Halifax is in a .state of great depression, according to a consular re port dated November 14, The 1913 crop In Nova cotla was poor and prices opened high, but immediately the Hali fax dealers were flooded with apples. Prices broke and prices are at their lowest. The report remarks: Strenuous efforts have been made this year by various shippers of apples to extend the foreign markets, especially in Germany and South Africa, to which all fruit Is shipped In barrels and boxes. Methods of packing are receiving the at tention of progressive fruit shippers. For many foreign markets the apples are carefully wrapped in tissue, with uniform slse, color, and general ap pearance. Some experimental ship ments were made in order to develop a permanent trade. Fruit growers In this province have been making every effort to improve their products and ths necessity of sys tematic and careful spraying has been realized. Considerable damage was done the orchards this year by 'spot," caused by-wet spring weather. Follow ing an announcement by the experiment al station at Kentvllle of the efficacy of spraying to eradicate It, many fruit growers have undertaken fall spraying as an extra precaution for an anticipated bumper crop next year. .
