IN COAST TRADE;
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 1. (AP)
Egg market along the coast were un
changed In the early trade today from
the previous day. A slightly weaker
tone waa evident, but It was not suf
ficient to justify a general decline at
this time. The trade was finding it
difficult to move storage stocks, and
until storage stuff begins to move
freely, there Is not much chance that
fresh egg prices will be forced higher.
The market for heavy henvherefto
day was slightly slower and at least
a full cent lower. Receipts have been
heavy. Broilers under 1 pounds are
steady at a top price of 33 cents.
There Is a good call for light calves.
Real heavy weights are not In big
demand. The usual August scarcity
of the most desirable weights Is
holding prices steady at 13-14 cents.
There Is a good supply of huckle
berries on hand In produce houses.
Good berries pass to the trade at
10-11 cents per pound.
Increased supplies of cauliflower
depressed the market again Tuesday.
The present quotation la 91.1S-1.35 to
the trade. Quality la very good on;
most offerings.
Tomatoes are suffering from oven
supply and the market was lowered
to 40-58 cents a box for The Dalles
offerings. Quality Is highly mixed.
An over-supply of noneydew melons
In local trade circles Is throwing this
commodity on the bargain counter.
Large flats are available at $1. Field
grown cucumbers are down a nickel
at 30 cents a box. Lettuce Is easier at
1.26-1.35. Corn Is going to the trade
at 40-60 cents a sack.

THOMAS OUSTED
BY LABOR PARTY
LONDON. Sept. 1. (AP) Ramsay
MacDonald and "Jim" Thomas have
been hounded from the labor organi
zations to which they have devoted
most of their lives but few observers
believe either of them will be driven
from British public life.
There are too many big jobs to be
done after the present financial cris
is Is solved. It Is felt, for them to re
tire the prime minister to his Scot
tish village to write the biography
of John Knox, something he has been
trying to do for years, or the domin
ions secretary to his fireside and pipe.
As for Mr. Thomas he will be lucky
to escape the directorate of one of
the four big railway systems of Great
Britain In view of his many years as
leader of the National Rallwaymen's
union. If he does he Is likely to be
recruited to help handle great em
pire problems with which he has
been familiar as dominion secretary.
