EGG PRICES IN
WIDE RANGE ON
PRODUCE MART
Portland. Ore., IP) Eggs prob
ably are being offered to retail
distributors at a greater number of
prices this week than has en
maintained for months. The ad
vance of one cent a dozen, effec
tive Tneiday, reflected the true
condition of the market. There Is
so doubt but that real fresh extra
are scarce. The number probably
w.W show a slow but constant
shrinkage for some time.
In the meantime, some dealers
are bringing eggs out of storage, al
though the movement Is not large,
to supply their trade. At prevailing
price levels, there is out little, if
any profit available to those who
are disposing of storage holdings.
Holdings are heavy, and It Is
perhaps a good thing to see the
into-storage movement abate or
even turn to an outward move
ment. Pullets generally have not begun
to lay yet. A few pullets eggs are
coming into the trade but the num
ber is still so small that these eggs
are not a market factor.
There is some butter moving out
of storage- but the amount is not
as large as it might be. Increased
production is expected to develop,
but It is not considered likely that
this will be enough to reduce the
market. The butter coming out of
storage generally is showing deal
ers a nice profit. The quality gen
erally Is better than that being
made now. There is some 92 score
butter coming In, but not a great
deal. Borne of this ts being sold at
a premium. Pasture conditions are
reported poor, but some improve
ment has been made during the
past week, reports indicate.
The season on broilers is about
finished and prices are moving high
quotations Wednesday on broilers
under lai lbs. were 22-24c pound
and 18-20 cents on the weightier
ones. The supply of heavy hens Is
about equal to the local demand and
prices are steady. Heavier receipts
of heavy hens are expected here
when pullets begin to lay.
First carlot shipment of Isle of
Pine grapefruit to arrive this season
was received Wednesday by Pacific
Fruit and Produce Co. This ship
ment came in via Seattle from the
Island near Cuba. These were grown
outside the restricted district. This
shipment of grapefruit will go to the j
trade at $10.
The lemcn market was weaker i
again Wednesday as quotations were
lowered 50c. The new price ts $8-
$8 50.
Cauliflower prices were lowered
slightly in Wednesday s wholesale
trade here. The top now is $1.50.
There was a better movement in
the watermelon market here this
week, due principally to the higher
temperature Tuesday. Tne market is
in but fair shape at the recent de
cline although a firmer tone prob
ably will develop if weather condi
tions continue as they were the ear
ly part of this week.
Although quotations on tomatoeo
were unchanged the heavy receipts
may bring about a decline before
the end of the week, talk in the
trade here Indicated Wednesday.
The peak of the local season is ex
pected to be reached within a short
time. Total production this year is
expected to be reached within
short time. Total production this
year is expected to be fully normal,

BRINGS DECLINE
IN STOCK MART

earlier the stock market sagged
near the close and leaders were off
fractions to 2 points.
According to the preliminary cal
culation of Dow, Jones and Co.
Industrial average declined 2.07 to
237.75 and the railroad average
0.32 to 131.28.
Sales for the session totalled 1,
744,520 shares, compared with 1,
773,920 shares Tuesday.
United States Steel dropped
steadily until, It broke below 170
and this brought mild pressure.
Further declines In wheat, corn
and rye worked against the market
as did reductions In dividend by
seven companies, and lower chain
stores sales. Traders became dis
couraged with the failures of the
list to break through the resistance
levels around 240 In the Dow, Jones
and Co., Industrial average.
This was the third time in less
than two months than the market
reached the 240 level and failed to
push through.
Trading picked up In volume in
the last few minutes and the new
tickers were given a real test of
ability to keep pace. They were up
to the market until the last min
ute. Along with Steel common. Vana
dium declined, but Bethlehem held
a large part of an early 3 point
gain. General Motors and Auburn
sagged in the motor group, Warner
Brothers and Radio-Keith -Orpheum
led the amusements down; Case
was off nearly 5 In the harvester
shares; Houston and Standard of
New Jersey lost heaviest in the oils;
utilitle went down with the- re
mainder of the market.
In the lat minute steel broke be
low 169 and the other leaders con
tinued under pressure.
Call money rose to 2li per cent
in the late trading from the renew
al rate of 2 per cent. This was con
sidered merely temporary and had
no effect on the market.

ment, Ward A. rising more than 10
points. Electric Auto-Lite was bid

COUNTY CLERK
ASKS VOTERS TO
REGISTER NOW
With a few people registering now
for general election and the interest
seeming to grow a little. County
Clerk Boyer urges that any who
need to register do so now so as to
avoid the usual congestion so preva
lent the last few days bofore the
registration books close.
He especially calls attention to
the fact that much complaint came
in from election boards after the
last primaries that women whose
names had been changed by mar
riage attempted to vote without re
registering as required by law and
he urges that any women who have
married and acquired a new name
since last election, come in and re
gister or re-register if they already
are registered.
"The law requires registering or
re -registering when a women is
married between elections and her
name is changed and she cannot
vote unless such re-registration is
done," said the county clerk. "The
same holds true of any woman -who
has been divorced during the in
terim between elections and has had
her maiden name restored to her.
The election board must identify the
women by the names on the regis
tration books and unless they can
do this the person cannot be al
lowed to cast his vote.
"In addition, if they wish to vote,
persons becoming 21 years of age
since the last election, persons who
have moved from one precinct to
another or persons who wish to
change their party affiliations all
must register.
"We are anxious that any such
persons register at once and not put
it off and much trouble and many
long waits will be avoided later, juet
before the books are closing."

MORE PAVING
SCHEDULED FOR
CITY STREETS
Sufficient pavement remains to
be laid ta keep a crew busy the

Wednesday. One block will be sur
faced on the east end of Trade;
another at the south end of ICth;
one on the west end of Belmont

moving until as late as November.
Enforcement of the weed cut
ting law is demanding considerable
attention of the street commission
er, the ordinance going into ef
fect a few weeks ago. Organization
will be completed this season and
next year will see the strict en
forcement of ths ordinance. Even
though a late start was obtained,
Low reports about ten times the
amount of grass and weeds cut from
vacant lots this year than last
year. When possible, on the larger
lots, a team and mower Is utilized,
reducing the cost of operation,
