market ? much ' within recent - - years.
Some years re egga were err. All
colors were mixed and the ema.Il and
the large esss were put into the same
packag-e. This is no longer done In
the leading market. Eggs are gen
erally of larger size than a few years
ago. -1 't-' . .
Market Master Eastman did not
know of the- lowering of -egg prices ;
in fact for several days no prices at
all were listed on the bulletin boards
of the public market, , .
There, continues a scarcity of good
halibut and eajnxm' in the fresh fish
markets but some stocks are available
although r. prices are high. A smaU
supply of Newport halibut is mTailable.
This ia of superior quality and con
surners - should . : demand the home
product.' ; , i j f. ...
v: Good lettuce ts rather scarce but ad
ditional stocks are due from California.
There is an abundance of spinach
on the market, local stock is in lib
eral supply but at 16c a pound in the
retail shops ia a trifle higher than it
should be. -4'. w , ' '.
