probably remain during- the rest of
the star re season. It is expected.
with warmer weather at hand, that
receints will increase fast, but this is
not likely to cause any difference in
the market, as speculators are pre
nared to take all that com in at this
The following notice to egg shipper
has been issued by a leading local
hnwr
"To facilitate the rapid transaction
of hnaineas durin? the egg-Storing sea
son, we have decided to suspend the

washed hens' eggs as brought to mar

Buyer Object to High Price.
: Portland There has been no in

price that have lately prevailed. All
the hen and springs that came in Sat

to take a 16-cent price to clean up.
Dressed meats were scarce and firm
The best veal sold readily at 11 cents,
