is done on Saturday. . v , ; : i
When the market for egg-s "as ad
vancing at wholesale" the market master
failed to pay heed, and has discovered
the advance, now that the market has
dropped. Private dealers were selling: at
the maximum prices previously named
and were making- good profits. ' " Now
these are increased, .- .i i
Sugar at $3.20 per sack is being offered

GASOLIXE COST MORE BUT
ADEQUATE : SUPPLT ASSURED
Ttkima. March : 1 2. Fruit growers of the
Takima valley are assured by dealers that they
will -get plenty of gasoline for spraying opera
tion thia year. Last year there was a shortage
and grower had to go on ration during most
of the (praying season. The total consumption
of gas for th. arirayinff operations in tb. or
chards ia. about) 250,000 rallorui. according to
estimate , made by grower and dealer. It
takes an averagei of thre gallona to the acre to
spray the orchards fire times during the- season
and many use the sprsy six times. - There are
75,000 acres of orchard, m Yakima and Benton
counties. The cost thia year will be 82 He a
gallon as againat 27 o last year.' an increase of
6He a gallon or a total of $12,500 to the
growers. '
AFFECT EGGS BY
NEWSTORAGELAW
By Hymaa H. Cohen.
Affecting the egg market here and
elsewhere to some- extent Is the new so
called cold storage laws that have been
passed both by the Oregon legislature
and by the federal congress. 1- s r J i
The law now provides among other thing,
that caaea containing egge- that are placed in
stores, should stamp the date of the entrance
ef the Mock Int. the ice house, with Gothic
letters of not leas than H-inch in height and
th words "Cold storage" in Gothic letters of
not leas thn l inch in height.'
The- cold storage warehouse mea are held re
sponsible for the proper marking of th oasea
contained in their places of businesa and for
that reason they bar notified th trade that
eases : unmarked will be marked properly by
them at a cost et le per package to coer the
expenses. ... .....
If this lew is enforced it mean a FmaOer
demand for eold storage eggs tor eora time be
oaiiae J of th prejudice of th public against
cold storage, although many have used it without
knowing it, and found nothing to complain of.
Thia therefore means that undee ordinary con
ditions the price of cold storage egg win be
much below the fresh stock during the regular
selling season. It likewise means that storage
operators are not likely to pay as much for their
require menu. . I

- Numerous changes are shown for feed
stuffs and hay In the local trade for the
closing day Of the week, but most of
them appear to be more in the . nature
of adjustments than any special change
in the market situation.
Alfalfa hey Is showing a rather food call
tt the moment, with most of the purchases of
No. 1 stock at S19 a ton. Portland. There is
little call for - timothy, either from the- Wil
lamette) valley or Eaatera Oregon, and practically
no grain hay are being offered. Clover would
sen at low prices, probably 310 to $15 a ton
for avenge,- slock, but most of the offerings
have been 'damaged, and rather than pay mere
money, the trad, at willing to take the better
quality of alfalfa. Straw ia seerce aad higher.
MiUstufs are showing no change for the clos
ing day ef the week aad local trade ia flour ie
slow, although there ia atill a fair call from
abroad.
