OLD POTATOES ADVANCED

Northern eggs no longer seem to be
a factor in this market. For this sea-
son apparently they have done their
duty, or the warm weather and their
scarcity operate against handling them
| in large lots. This caused the egg
quotation committee on the Produce
exchange yesterday to take them from
! the list of quotations. In future they
will not be quoted in The Daily Herald.
Local ranch candled were fixed by the
committee at the selling price of 2lc.
The market is steady, although late
yesterday afternoon some dealers re-
ported sales at zoe.
BIG BUTTER SUPPLY-Receipts of
butter from coast and valley points for
Saturday and Sunday reached S2,611
pounds OF this 900 pounds came by
steamer, both dairy and creamery.
The latter sold fast at 421ac and the
! former 40c. Valley creamery is still
| held at 45c. Demand was good all OF
yesterday, the coast article finding a
good market Much coast went into
storage. Production is very large, and
this is accepted with no regret, as
coolers are well depleted. On the first

were in storage in Los Angeles.
POTATOES AND ONIONS-Any po-
tato that is at all choice goes from

mudas from Texas have come. These
now job at $1.90 for a crate of fifty
pounds. Silverskins are plentiful and

longer at the famine's end

cots came from Yuma and sold al
