Productlon-Acres Will
Go to Waste

Hens dropped to 15c pound on the produce
exchange yesterday. Other poultry prices were
corrected for the opening of the season. Poul-
try since Easter has been in better receipt and
the market will gradually improve as the hens
lay less.
Eggs were firm and advanced to 1s619c for
California ranch stock. There was good trad
ing in eggs, 40 cases being sold during the
call Forty sacks of Bermuda onions were also
sold.
Strawberries dropped to 2Q4c. The receipts
were enormous, and although the demand was
strong there was a surplus on hand. 1t is de-
clared by jobbers that the canneries are not
going to use many strawberries this year
as last. They are overstocked with last year 6
goods and intend to work Off these goods in
place of newly canned stuff. The growers did
not expect this turn In affairs and a part of
the crop consequence will go to waste.
The market is now flooded, although the sea-
son has but fairly started.
Vegetables were plentiful yesterday. Fish
were quiet. Fruit moved slowly. The only
activity to speak of was In grape fruit, which
moved fairly well.
