Dozen for Current Receipts to. the
Country.
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.

Corn and Oats a
Shade Weaker Again
i
By Joseph P. PHtohard
Chicago, June 10. (L N. 8.) There were
(harp gains in th com market today, resting
spot showing advance of 1 H & 8 He. Th
buying continued urgent right up to the close
of the session, although there were reaction
of He In the June and He In the August from
the highest levels of the Session. The July
future closed unchanged to He lower from the
highest point and showed net advance of
3 S V, e for th day.
Oats were np lWlSc. Samples of corn
were unchanged to 5c lower and oat were un
changed to He higher.
Hog products were 15 9 30c lower for pork,
2 He higher for lard and 6c better for, ribs.
Chicago, June 10. L S. 8.) 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.

The trade in grain is now much mora Inter
ested in crop conditions than In the old crop, snd
there continues a general Iokof activity in the
market for 1917 coarse grain.
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-

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.

FIRST OREGON NEW
POTATOES ARE HERE
JJIY- GOOD
Initial, 1918 Offerings Are From The
Dalles and Sizes Are Favorable
Excellent Crop Condition Generally
Shown in District.
First offerings of new crop Oregon potato
were shown on th street during the day,
supplies coming from The Dalles.
The stock showed rather favorable quality
nd the sixes were Quite fair; in facW'were
almost as good in thi reapect as the CaUtemia
offerings.
Price of new California stock ia holding
practically, unchanged for th day. but the
trend of the market here and in the Couth
is somewhat weaker and further reductions
re expected at almost any time.
Movement of new crop Oregon is expected
to become general, but in a small way, within
very short time. The crop in most districts
how a rather excellent condition and tue
size are likely to be up to the' usual Oregon
standards, a condition shown last season.
Some movement of old potatoes continue,
but it ia principally to th process facto riea.
Shipments to outside points have entirely
ceased and it is not believed that any more
business will be shown (luring the remainder of
the season.
