The situation IN eggs remained exactly the
same as for several days past With extras
quoted at 21c dozen the market Is on a parity
with Sonoma county shipping points, where stor-
age spectators paying 19c, and the rivalry

all Of the stocks offered were quickly taken up
bought below the quotation
Butter lost the 15c gained on the preceding
day, but the market ruled quite arm at the new
quotation, as several shipping orders were at
hand from the north and more were expected

Egg Market In Nearby Counties

PETALUMA, April e.-Packers paid 1s6lec
today. Twenty cents offered for well as
sorted and packed eggs. Fewer eggs were
brought in by the farmers, but the shortness is
attributed to the dry weather rather than ten
dency to hold back. The rise of few cents
cleans up the product pretty thoroughly among
the producers The unsettled condition keeps up
somewhat unpleasant relation between pro-
ducers and packers. the difference of a few
cents creates transitory movement among pro-
ducers. who are ever ready TO seek a better
market. Fruit farmers jubilant over tho
weather conditions, the fruit will have a
chance to set without risk Of ruin in the bios
sonling season
SANTA ROSA. April s.-with receipts of 125
cases more than in the first three days of last
week, the Sonoma county cooperative poultry as
