Job bers ronort the local market well supplied and receipts Increasing. At the same time the shipping demand le falling with very little outlet leit, l'ortiana, however, re mains the low coast market. Heavy cooler holdings la still considered the biff (actor in the egg situation and mo rage operators aro pulling out their stocks us fast as market conditions will permit. Uutter .holdings are moderate this year, not only on the coast but throughout the entire country. The market Is already at a high level, however, and with production Increasing, the market Is hardly likely to swing upward for tome lime to come. Country dressed veal Is slow tnd weak. The top on choice light calves this morning is 15 cents, al though receipts on the street were light. Choice light hogs aro hold ing steady at 16 and 16 'A cents. The wool market is generally quiet but values are firm at 40 to 42 cents, for valley fine and halt blood. Buyers are offering 38 to 40 cents lor medium or 3-8s blood. Although the annual sale of the Idaho wool pool was called off, 118 bags of Idaho wool belonging .to Worth S. Lee of Mountain Home was sold yesterday, bringing 45 cents. It was purchased by Alex Livingstone, Jr. The lull in the local potato mar ket continues unbroken. A few spuds aro picked up In the coun try but buying is limited with lit tle or no outlet at present lovols. Recent purchases have been made on the basis of $2.50 to $2.

Mayor Giesy declured that It costs the city more than $10 a year to police the tuxlcubs. Dictation Resented. "In fact there are some of the operators," said the mayor, "who ought not to be in business at all. He opined thut It wouldn't be long until they would be trying to run me city. Secretary Hudson, of the Oregon .Motor btage association, was giv en the floor and declared that if every city along the lino between Portland und Hoseburg should put a lee or more than S1U on the stages the transportation lines would have to go out of business. The vote on Patton's motion to inuke the fee $25 instead of $10 was divided at six on each side, and Dancy, who was in the chair. broke the tie by voting for the mo tion.

The Importance of the carton pack prune business of the Califor nia Prune and Apricot Growers Association Ia to bo observed from a statement recently made by Gen eral Mnnager J. M. Pnrkor, says the Califronla Fruit News. Mr. Par ker Bnya that during the pafst twelve months tho Association has marketed 22,000f000 pounds of prunes In enrtons. In 1024 it sohl lG.OOO.OOO pounds In enrtontt ami In 1923 7,000,000 pounds. This Is a very material percentage Incre;iM and considering tho comparatively recent development of activity In (his direction tho 22,000, 000-poumi carton pack of the Association dur tho past year is a very important announcement. Formcriy the Prutu Association's cartons were twn pound packages. Thin yoar a one pound carton has been ndded am! Iiaa proved very popular. The chain atores throughout the East, the As sociation aays, are using large quantities an being found 'extreme ly practical. Tho carton can be nan died very expeditiously by rcflail clorka during rush hours, In addi tion to the convenience to the cus tomers. The cartons being used by the Prune Association are a scaled, hagllned enrton which le virtually air tight and keepe the fruit In splendid condition, which has been proved by experiments In keeping the carton!

Your FOUR year ago, we realized this fact: We cannot make money in business without big volume. We could not gain vol ume if we wear out customers' clothes and charge more than folks can afford. Our success hinges on our work and our price. So we immediately set out to improve methods, to lower prices, and thus to gain volume. Now note how well we have suc ceeded. Note how we have revolu tionized the laundry business. We Employed Modern Science Together with other larger laund ries, we established, in Mellon Insti tute, a department of Chemical Re search. Scientists, chemical engin eers, applied themselves to our prob lems. Laboratory tests showed old ways harmful to fabric. Our engineers set about to correct this. After pa tient effort, they succeeded. They learned things never known before about washing clothes, and about pro longing the life of fabric. Tli en we established, at Joliet, Illinois, a model laundry our experi mental station. Here the findings of modern science were put to every practical test.

B. Kay park fiito In Englewood go by the board, the city council last night came to tho rescue, tempor arily at elast, and the proposal was referred to tho committee on pub lic parks. This action was tuken when an nouncement was made that Mr. Kay, wearied with waiting for ac tion one way or the other by the city, was Just about to have the seven-acre track surveyed and plat ted preparatory - for selling It off in lots. Mr. Kay offered the tract to the city for $1000 an acre.' Alderman Galloway, explaining his attitude on the question, said he would vote to buy It at that figure, but he feared that If the question were put up to the people at an election they would vote It down. He ad vocated the park committee con ferring with Mr. Kay about it in the hope of getting a reduction In the price. He believed the seven acres might be bought for $5000. Mr. Galloway said that if neces sary, rather than lose the site, pri vate persons In the Englewood dis trict would put up the necessary money for the city if tho city would put up adequate security. Alderman Purvlne endorsed Gal loway's suggestion that a holding company bo formed, and was of the opinion that the city might pay off tho dobt at $1000 a year. Pur vlne and Mayor Giese expressed no longer Do you still do the family washing at home? Still think laundries hard on clothes? Still think you can't afford laundry service? Here is pleasant news, then, for you. Now Note the Vast Improvements Alter lour years, we J .. ! J Capital City Laundry the hope that the city would not let the park site get away. Replying to some Intimations that Kay was asking too much for the tract, Alderman Grabenhorst said that Kay had paid more than $1000 an acre for parts of the tract and that If ho should sell it off In lots he would realize considerably more than $1000 an acre for it. Alderman Williams declared the tract one of the beat park sites in the state and that It would be a mistake for the city to let it go by. The park board will confer with Mr. Kay.
