12 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON DECREASE IN EGGS BRINGS FIRMER TONE Portland, Feb. 27 IIP Decreased offerings of eggs in practically all Pacific slope sectors are creating more or less strength in the trade at a time when values are usually receding. Prices are holding firm in the city but still firmer in the country There competition of private firms for their needs Is becoming more or less acute. Indicating the strength of the trade is the fact that large retail Interests who usually obtain their supplies at a discount of 1 to 2 cents from regular quotations, are today gladly paying tile full price to get their needs. There was a general steady trade tone for butter for the weekend. On both the produce exchange and on the open market cubes held former prices for the various classi fications. Butterlat is steady. Some of the f. o. b. buyers have again reduced the price of chickens 1 cent pound despite the fact that demand Is good for all offerings with the possible exception of ex tremely heavy heiu. Once again the unusual has hap pened. One leading buyer appear ed with an offer of 22 cents pound for fancy dressed hen turkeys, a rise of at least 2 cents from former values and 4 cents higher than Is offered for toms. The latter are quite flabby as a rule. There continues a gaining move ment in oranges. Demand Is nat urally keenest for the place and pack offerings because these are to be eliminated generally from the trade after the turn of the month. Extreme strength Is continued In the market for country killed old crop lambs. Spring stuff Is In call but there appears a dearth of offer ings after the initial supply about week ago. Hogs and veal weak. Further gain In strength Is Indi cated In the market for onions. Locally there remains a general scramble for No. 2 stock and for tollers, a condition general through out the Pacific northwest. JAPANESE DENY RUSSIAN CHARGES (Continued from page 1) followers of General Ting chao who were reported operating In the Imienpo district. General Tamon, ft said, was full empowered to deal with details like train transport without reporting to Tokyo and hence the war office was ignorant of the exact size of his order. He said that instead of encour aging the activities of anti-Russians In Manchuria, the Japanese com mand there regarded those activities as "nuisance." Regarding the Russian request for Information on the new Mnnchurinn state, the spokesman said Ambas sador Hlrota, "accurately represent ed Tokyo's position" In replying to M. Karakhan that the latter's In quiries were addressed to the wrong quarter, for the establishment of the new regime In Manchuria was entirely a matter for the people there to advise upon. The Japanese government, he said, was not concerned with It. "The Soviet officials." he said, "seem to be asking Japan to explain every thing they read In the newspapers."

Si SILVER PARK ROAD VIEWED Members of the county court making the loop over the Silver Palls road Friday and looking over the new surveys on both the north and south sides of the falls, also made arrangements for additional clearing of right of way on the north slue market road improve ment. An agreement was reached with Paul Brace under which Brace will clear the right of way where It goes tnrousn his own land. A sim ilar proposition was put up to John Kimsey who took the matter under advisement and will notily the court later, j ne uicnkncv bovs who have been clearing on their own lands are nearly finished, reports County r.imineer owan and are about ready for use of powder to clean out stumps and trees and get the brush and stumps off the right of wav so they may be burned. This work is all on the north side of the falls. The party went in over the new right of way survey on the south side where a good share of it goes through the stnte Dark and this ill be done under contract. Possibly some of the clearing work on the south side may be done by land owners but arrangements for this nave not been completed. On the way back the party looked over work being done by a crew under William Mcllwaln clearing away a rock point and widening the shoulders of the road near the old boys' training school. Mcllwaln and his crew have finished a widen ing Job near the tuberculosis san atorium and wil probablv finish the Job they are now on by next Mon day.
