tracted more than usual attention at the
opening of the full summer season.
This FEELING was specially noticeable in
eggs, which were advanced cents for
local ranch by the egg quotation commit
tee, while fresh eastern were fixed at 24c
and seconds were marked up to 21c This
advance Is based purely on natural condl-
tions. 1t is stated that eastern fresh can
not be laid down with expenses added

eggs is active. and points of accumulation
report a decline in stocks.
POTATOES HARD HIT-At a late
hour yesterday afternoon potato brokers
were notified that the San Francisco po-
tato market had been cut wide open and
that all Burbanks were openly Jobbed at
Soc a hundred, or 1ac a pound, and that
this included Woodward island potatoes.
The reason for this cut Is given that
the northern crop is large and that every
raiser seems anxious to rush to market
his goods, fearing he will be late. For
this reason brokers say, and several deal
ers agree, that for the present at least
low prices will prevail, and that no recov-
cry will follow until the mass of cheap
stuff is moved. Salinas are reported Of
fered in small lots. The local market Is
only just beginning to feel this condition
