Strawberry prices show a rather severe cut
Lfor the tost '24 heurs In the local trad as a
result of the offerings from three state. 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
