Potatoes In carload lots are moving
southward, but owing 10 the weakened
condition Of the San Francisco market
prices are easier.
The tone OF tho butter market Il

maintained at the top price. but outside
creamery Ia weak because Of the press

city manufacturers the supply 10 nc
greater than necessary. Cream receipts
are gradually decreasing AZ the season
progresses, and Il 10 thought the pre-
vailing financial conditions may cause a
still further decrease, on the other hand,
certain Of tho country crcamcrics are
forcing their products on the market
without az much regard to price as i'm.
nal. The likelihood Of Eastern butter
coming into this territory Is further
lessencd by the action Of the Eastern
markets. which took sheer Jump OF q
cent yesterday.
Eggs move fairly well, but the feeling
In the market ia birmer, both as regards
Oregon ranch and Eastern eggs.
J$9nly few coops Of poultry came In

The inquiry for both fruit and vege'
tables was unusually good yesterday and
business all around was better than al

not given to day dreams. Still, as he
