Los Angeles Markets

Los ANGELES Sept. 2.-AwaSened from a
period of comparative dullness todays market
was decidedly active generally and yesterdays
surplus stock in addition to the heavy morning
arrivals all moved by noon and the cleanup
practically complete. One sale of eggs on change
indicated steady market for that commodity.
There were several carloads of eastern storag ge
offered but the bidding was slow and brokers
were unable to dispose of their holdings. On
the street. however, trading was very lively.
Prices for Burbank potatoes a shade
higher, but quotations for other grades re-
manned unchanged. Beans and onions and other
vegetables were in fair demand

butter. Cheese and Err.

Dizziness continued TO dominate the market
for eggs and dairy produce business in the
street being of small volume and wholly local
in character. A little buying activity on the
part of one dealer sent the price of extra
eggs up 1c to 35hc dozen. but several re-
ceivers were OF the opinion that the advance
was unwarranted and it was generally believed
that the market would come down within n day
or Eastern second eggs were l3c lower and
weak at 201ac. There were no other changes
in the quotations. The dairy exchange will ad-
journ on Saturday until Thursday. the 18th.
On the exchange 20 cases Of extra butter

extra eggs were sold, 10 going at sec, 40 at 35c
and 20 at 351ac.
Receipts were 10000 lbs butter. o,soo lbs
cheese and TAT cases eggs.
The following are official quota tons established
by sales bids and offers on the floor of the dairy
exchange. Prices in the street. while governed

Everything in the line of miscellaneous vege-
tables was in free supply, and although the
demand was of good proportions, prices were
weak q rule Tomatoes plenti-
ful than anything else and large buyers were
able to shade the quotations on the best lots
while numerous sales of soft stock to catsup
makers were reported at 10c to 15e box. Green
peppers were in excessive supply and cheap
with both the bell and chile varieties selling
at the same range. Choice offerings of green
corn met with the usual prompt sale at high
prices, but poor stock found few buyers and
cucumbers were scarce and firm, with buyers
were moderately active. but the market lacked
the frmness which characterized 1t at the first
of the week. Salinas Burbonks were lower on
the inside quotation and dealers were expecting
lower range of values for river goods There
was not much doing in onions and there were
large quantities of fine stock on hand, for
which there was no outlet.
