Egg market price wore firmer and higher long the street for the week opening. P. a. b. buyer were offering 88 9 t9e doxen for current receipts and the price , to retailer was put at 40 4 lo a dosen, with candled 2c above these figure. LitU trading in candled egg is shown, the quality of current arrivals being rather favorable. Receipts of egg continue to decrease, tha big movement having subsided some time ago. From this time forward practically all the sale will be confined to tha home trade, as arrivals are .not more than sufficient to take care, of the wants. In fact, some of tit trad has already found it necessary, and In addition to tb several cars already received, others are en route to this market. Importers of these are naturally trying to boost the local product to such figures that tliay can make greater profit on their eastern good. Thi is a tip -to the food administration. Similar conditions ara always shown at thi period of theJ season. Cheese market is, showing steady tone, with price maintained. Corn and Oats a Shade Weaker Again i By Joseph P.

Crn and oats opened lightly easier today on' the board of trade, due partly to better weather condi tions and forecast for generally fair and warmer weather. On the decline, there was buying by commission house, with a resultant sharp upturn . with some of the early sellers going over to the buying side. I'rovisiona were dull, and trader found but few sales and little ehange in prices. Chicago range furnished by United Press: CORN Onen. Hieh. Tvtw. fir.

E. T. Marchetti. government crop statistician for the- state of Washington, reporting the total spring wheat acreage at 1.730.000, oats 810,000 sere, and barley 173.000 acres. He rays that fall wheat, although retarded considerably by cool weather during May. has acquired a fairly favorable growth and has headed in many area of the state. The crop generally to in a favorable condition, excepting in occasional fields through out tha Pslouse country and In small acreages Planted in the Big Bend counties, where germina tion was spotted on account of an unusually dry fall, and the wheat is more weedy than usual. Many fields normally sown to fall wheat in the Pslouse, WaUa Walla and adjacent counties were sown to spring wheat this year on account of an abnormally dry unfavorable fall for wheat tend ing, and the Big Bend counties were practically entirely sown to spring wheat for the same reason. Large acreages of alfalfa which were not produc ing normal yields have been plowed up and re sown to spring wheat, especially in the Yakima nd Kittitas valley. Occasional field throughout the Big Bend counties germinated spotted! v on account of an unusually dry period immediately succeeding planting, and the seeding of inferi..r quality wheat which had been injured by Lot winds last year, and many fields of spring wheat throughout the Palouse counties, especially late sown, germinated spottedly. and rain are re- OIlireH immMlUI.I. n 4nmM j i the fiellT"-Th- a.,..", X . -I '2 total wheat are the largest ever planted In this state. The condition of snrine whaat ha Kn - . " " adversely affected by a backward May, permitting' considerable weed growth, and heavy winds during the month here dried out th soil materially. Although local areas throughout Columbia and Garfield counties indicate increases in barley acreage, these large barley producing counties as a whole planted less acreage to barley than a year ago. Considerable area of abandoned wheat creag which were rotted and 'froren out were sown to barley last year in these large harlev producing counties, whereas the desire to comply with th government's request to seed all available acreage to wheat, and the early favorable spring for wheat seeding this year lias resulted in a de crease of the unusually large barley acreage sown last year in this locality. Walla Walla. Aotin and Whitman counties have increased barley acreages this year, sown principally on land plowed in the late fall and early winter, and usually summer fallowed, which did not interfere with the seeding of wheat acreage. The barley acreage for the state as a whole has been increased slightly. The condition of barley has been unfavorably "af fected by lack of favorable growing weather. The acreage of oats has been increased in the large ojt producing section of Skagit county on account of floods during the winter, which drowned out pasture and hay. which land ha been re seeded to oat, flmaller.oat producing sections In th coun ties west of the Cascades increased acreages of oats considerably, in their desire to produce all foodstuff possible. Throughout , the large oat nrorTucing section of the Palouse country and in cluding areas in Stevens eounty, there is a ten dency to decrease oat acreage. The decrease of oat acreage in this section was stimulated by the favorable early spring for wheat seeding, whereas the adversely Jate spring of last year compelled the seeding of oats on account of the inability to plant wheat. The growth -of oata haa been re tarded by unfavorable growing weather, and rain is necessary to insure favorable results. The con dition of hay is unfavorable on account of cool weather, which retarded growth and encouraged cheat growth and aphides injury in alfalfa. Pas tures have been injured by lack of rains and unfa vorable growing weather. AU crops are generally in need of imminent rain in practically alP non irrigated counties east of the Cascades.
