still satisfactory and the movement Is
active as receipts yesterday and the
day previous have been light. Some
coast creamery also arrived yesterday,
indicating that feed conditions are inn
proved, and that butter making is
more active. Shipping demand is stat
ed to be larger than usual with many
outside points taking large blocks of
dairy and creamery. Storage goods are
also active, as the supply of the fancy
article does not meet requirements.
Cheese is firmly supported. Eastern
makes are active and northern Is
steady. Receipts have not been excess
i've during the week. giving local a bet
ter position. Some complaint is made
that local cheese is entirely too fresh.
EGGS UNCHANGED.-On the Pro-
duCe exchange yesterday the egg quo
tation committee again fixed the SELL
ing price of California ranch eggs al 30
cents a dozen. This Is the same price
that has ruled all week and remains
steady as receipts have not proved
burden. In face of this even tone,
however. many dealers say the day
cannot be long delayed until the re-
Ceipts Will be larger and a gradual re-
cession in quotations may occur. 9th
ers state that they do not look for as
radical a decline as has been known In
some past years because stocks are
egg stock is limited. On even dates of
last year the quotations then prevail
ing are the same as now, and this Is
the basis of the argument for those
that are bullishly inclined
POTATOES FIRM.--All potatoes are
well supported and the advance of
Monday is largely in evidence. Stocks
are ample, but fancy are not over plen-
tlful. The San Joaquin and Sacramento
valley points report fancy stocks well
sold up and that the market must ex-
pect to accept the potatoes now In
warehouses. 1t is stated that Colorado
shippers are preparing to invade this
market and that If railroad rates can
be adjusted hundreds of carloads can
be dumped in Los Angeles in few
weeks. This potato is reported to be a
slow seller, as it is not a handsome
spud.
Onions are steady at full quotations.
Stocks are sufficient to meet require,
ments. Sprouting and sorting is noted
and close culling is required to obtain
graded stock.
FRUIT AND TRUCK.-The banana
market has regained normal conditions,
as stocks are small. Several carloads
are due, but the quotation has gone
to 4041s cents a pound for the fancy.
Few concessions are made.
Bellefleur apples are coming into act
i've use. Fancy reach $1.50 a four-tier
box. Winesaps and Jonathans run from
$1.S0 to $500 a box
Strawberries are plentiful. Choice,
S015c box and Tropico fancy go up to
1Sc Demand is only fair.
Oranges are not active, with Speclai
brands devoid of interest
Lemons are weaker and grape fruit
is taken in lots to meet light de-
mand.
Fresh peas are 5@6 cents a pound;
beans, 565c: cabbage weaker, S0@W
cents a sack. Celery, 321@@4O cents
dozen punches.
FISH AND GAME-Demand for fish
yesterday was favorable, and the
stocks of rock cod, halibut and small
surf seemed to meet the trade needs.
Lobstels were scarce and crabs from
the north were soon cleaned up.
Again were rabbits in limited supply.
Geese were scarce and ducks were only
taken in a limited way. The game sea-
son dealers report has SO far not
proved a bonanza, as the receipts are
not dependable and the southern ap-
petite seems to be tickle.
