With the trade abl to purchase eggs from Kansas and Nebraska at lower prices landed litre than what is said to be offering for local etock, the situation indicates manipulation on the part of those who do a very heavy annual business to Eastern stock. While there are reports that as high as 4 5c a dozen is being offend and paid for current receipt eggs here, there is bo confirmation of this fact. In fact, some of the leading buyers are able to secure their full requirement at 45c from the country. ' It cost approximately 2 a dozen to prepare eggs for cold storage here, therefore these high-priced egss would cost 47c ia the coolers. Eggs ready for storage can be purchased in the Middle West and landed here at a lea amount. It begins to look a if the big interests are trying to "slip one over" on those who handle local eggs 'exclusively by making them pay more for their eggs by artificially quoting extreme prices than what th big fellow are securing their re quirements from the East for. It is noted that those that pretend to quote the extreme fig ures her n not actually after the ' egga at these high prices, bat are naming such values with the aid of two friendly newspapers, in order- to force competitors to pay them.

April 1 5. It is estimated that about 1.000,000 pounds of Yakima' wool,: approximately half of the 1919 clip, has been1 shipped East on consignment. With the ex ception of a few cash sales,, amounting in the aggregate to about 1 50,000 pounds, aO the wool shipped this spring has gone on consignment. Growers are not anxious to sell, nor an dealers racer to buy. with th market in so uncertain a condition. The general practice among grow ers here haa been to sell ths wcxfi to cash buy ers, but this year the pain is to consign. Th. cash sales made have been on tha basis of 85 rents or better, owing to condition of the fleeces. The growers are of th op is ion that price will bs better when the market gets settled, and are taking a chance of consigning their clips.
