D kab B utter amd E ggs . — Potatoes have been selling for a cent a pound of late. Dealers say there is no special reason for the riso in the priee, but all the same they bid against one another and run it up, which is a good thing for the farmer. Butter still continues dear, a good article selling 1or one dollar a roll. As it is scarce and high in Cali fornia, there is no prospect of relief from that quarter for some time. Eggs are scarcer than beta’s teeth, and sell at fifty cents [few dozen. The attention of the poultry association and the dairy associa tion is called to these facts, and they are also informed that about 65,000 dozen of eggs and twenty tons of butter have been imported here this winter. On Saturday com-fed turkeys and chickens from Iowa were for sale in our markets. Whither do we trend ? Is this a good state for making butter and raising poultry and eggs, or is it not? and if not, why not? If butter is to continue at a dollar a roll a good many gullets will lack lubricating, and if eggs remain at fifty cents rum om elets will become a luxury.— Oregonian.
