TRADING IS SLOW
IN LOCAL MARKET
FINE STRAWBERRIES ARRIVE
FROM GARDENA
Eastern Eggs Will Not Be Received
Until April Light Receipts of
Valley Butter-Too Many
Potatoes

Wholesalers found market condi-
tions yesterday rather slow and prices
easy for potatoes, cheese and vegeta
bles.
Decreased receipts of local ranch
eggs served to stiffen prices to some
extent although there vas no change
in the official quotations. One jobber
asked in open, meeting on change il
anybody knew that there were any
eastern eggs in the market. only one
carload has been in the market in ten
sold was the answer. Later 1t was
stated that eastern eggs would not be-
gin to arrive until about April l, and
Is to zoe until July. The ruling price
now is 19c
The demand for potatoes is good, but
the supply is so heavy that fairly good
spuds can be had at any old price.
The receipts of butter yesterday were
but 45 pounds owing to the washout
on the Coast Line road, which pre-
vented shipments and delivery.
The early crop of strawberries Is
growing in volume. the receipts being
quite heavy yesterday; The berries
q box.
Small fish is more plentiful. and
poultry is sufficient for the demand.
An important meeting of the pro-
duce exchange members will be held
this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
The enlarged quarters of the eX-
change now are ready Tor use.
