spots sales are shown a fraction or so
below lists.
There was no change in the butter
fat situation for the day.
There was no change In the general
egg marke situation for the day. Trad
ing in general was at entabltshed fig
ures with uncontrolled producers
selling 1 to 2c dozen less as usual.
Demand for live chickens remains
very good.
With the season fast ebbing, there
Is an increasing call for currants In
the wholesale trade with prices, how
ever, held low. Raspberries and lo
ganberries are down while strawber
ries are steady. Blackcaps show a
nominal call as yet.
There Is today the lightest call
ever shown In Portland for early Cali

too limited to order supplies. A car
