Th Oregon, prune, so much despised a! few
years ago by th California slilppinat interests.
sl.ich tbey "knocked" on every opportonitv in
tlu Kaatern tradciss today coming to its own.
It is in m clsas by itself and ha really no
competitor when com to quality. It is en
tirely a different prune from that produced In
California, and one a taste is acquired for It,
no other prune will taste as good. I
That California shipping interests at last
realize this is indicated bv the fact ht: the
leaamg operators of the South are today either
represented with packing plants in the Wijlam
ett valley or are DreDaiins: to amnln aarii
The recent entrance of Kosenbergs iota this1 tetW

The fight in California for centrol off tb

V a rions prices are today reported tat the south
for the coming crop, but nothing is definitely
stUed. It is still too early to stats definitely
what the -Oregon prune prtne will open ati but

It baa been apparent for' some time that the
price of' eggs- waa being' manipulated along the
Pacific Coast, and especially in the Northwest,
and that values here -were getting out of line
v:th the other producing sections.
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.

Yool Morlng- East
Tskima. - Waah.. 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.
