Kails and local markets. In the
last eight or nine months, the
Kla ma th market has taken big
strides, and Is constantly growing.
The trade has come to demand
l(ogiie Kiver.vulley eggs. -
At the present time less1 than a
carload of eggs ur.o In storage, and
ihe grade und quality of .tup eggs
i bus been increased until the ,pre
j ten I age of eggs defective from
.various causes Is pructically neg
! Ilglble.

slack lu the present egg deficit
