egg higher here In epitf. of the ftet that Eastern
value are loner and stock from there can be
lat.ded here at lew money than the home price,
litre thoroughly demoralised the situation
Reports indicate that the bidder of hitb
rtices here are secretly elliut eggs to.jother

trying trt "corner" the egg Brtet and force
the km 1 1 fellow out of business to that their
rortrol will be absolute, and thereby Secure
faLnlou price during the storage selling season.
TUt egg can be landed here at 4 lower price

As the Middle West tell noit of it egg

Foreign Demand
a Prune Factor
California Speculators Get Rig Early
' Business From Euron?. "
y Hyman ft, Cehsn
Extremely liberal demand tor prune from
Bttrop is the cause of the present excited state
of tbe trade generally along the coast and espe
cially ia California.
Heiry sale el the 191 crop pi prunes kre
ilready kii4 to ua betri miU4 by specuUUt
iniereet of CaUfornia to European parties. These
prunes are said to be only for early shipment, it
being stated that the mppiie will ge forward toe
first ball of October. - -
Because of this big European demand for earl
delivery, the independent prUne interests of Cali
fornia hart recently been bidding extreme price
for contract, on the coming crop; high a
10 He a pound being .reported there aa the basic
price within the .tart" few day This is from
tt? to 4e a pound better than tbe prices ia
effect under gorernment con-ol last season, -
Tbe California Orowere' association, which H
said to control appr!maty 50 per cent of
the southern crop, i reported as not . baring
opened its price a yet and there is reason to
b!tere that as the early foreign demand Will be
filled by the speculator . and that the American
market will "buck" against paying such extreme
value, that prices will be opened by the organ
ization below those now in effect.
' Reports . received her indicate that with
most of the prune trees in .the Willamette valley
already in blossom and with the thrip discovered
in many of the orchards, together with the heavy
rains of the teat few days tbet some damage. has
been done the crop in thi sectfc-n although it t
much too. early to state wit a any degree of ac
curacy what the damage ia or what the crop
will be. On the other band reports indicate that
California has prospects for aa enormous crop.
Those desiring special information regarding
markets should, write the llarket Editor, en

Bearish Sentiment
In Chicago Trading
, - By Jotepti rttehard
Chicago. April ,17. 'I. N. 8.) Thg cort
market waa possessed of reactionary power today,
as shown by the advance from the lowest level,
and the strong closing. There were net gain
for the day of f ? Tic with the July future
the strongest of the list. Oats acted in sympathy
with corn and shosred gain of H 9 4e. Losses
were made of 30 50c for' pork and 7H15c
for lard, while ribs were unchanged td 104
'higher. .
rbicaso, April 17. (L N. S.) Bearish
sentiment predominated immediately after tbe
cixning of the market today and an easier
undertone in corn resulted. Opening corn prices
were unchanged to He higher with . a mixed
commission bouse trade.
Oat., opened H c to He higher on scattered
buying and lack of selling pressure. The-trade
war dull and disposed to await development.
t Provision opened sharply lower, July . pork
being off 81.25. Trade Wis slow with i lack
of buying support and limited - offerings.
