Cold Weather to perhaps tbe greatest factor irf forcing declining price here as well aa at other points sitnougn with increased ottenngs reduced iig uree are to be expected. The trade here does not feel kindly toward the marketing interests who have charge of tha Kenuevnck berries. While tbe demand was best and there was a real dearth of offerings. these interests overlooked entirely the Portland market and sold their supplies at Seattle. Now i- that Seattle cannot absorb the offering and tha trade here is even better than in the north, the Kennewick-Seattle interests are quit willing to allow this city to purchase. lyocsl berries are arriving in somewhat greater supply and in genera, are superior to th Kenae- wic-k fruit. Therefore th stay ot tfie stock In this market Is expected to be brief. California strawberries sold at $2.10 2.25 per crate along the street generally during the day of . crates of 20 boxes, while local and other Northwest of re rings went at $3.25 8.60 per crate.
