prospects good for higher prices before the END
of the week. Sudden hot drying weather. is ex-

Bermuda onions have held their own better than
most of the trade expected, but offerings IN
round lots were about 10c a crate lower this
morning than Saturday. Receipts by rail Of old
potatoes are comparatively light, but the ar
rivals by wagon of the new crop makes up Tue
seeming scarcity Strawberries glutted the mar
ket badly, the supply far exceeding the demand.
Prices dropped to any figure that purchasers
would pay, many sales being made at 1Q<c
box. The capneries not yet in operation and
the surplus Is dead loss to the shippers In
the poultry market old hens are cheap ana plen,
tiful, while broilers and fryers are scarce and
wanted The receipts of broilers and fryers are
expected to increase in short time and then

Butter, Cheese and Egg.

Previous quotation for eggs were allowed to
stand on the exchange yesterday and the market
ceiyers considered the market unsettled, the ac-
tion OF the Sonoma county poultry association in
Offering to supply retailers at less than the ex.
change quotations making it so. The local agent
OF the poulterers association was sending postals
all over town quoting a nat price of zoe dozen
for extras while on the exchange the previous
quotation of 2lc paid for supplies. The
plan OF the commission men Is to hold the price
up on the poulterers so that they can return more
to the independent shippers than the associa tion
members will receive.
There was another slight decline in butter all
grades OF creamery goods being marked down 1ac
pound. The market ruled firm at the decline
and some receivers storing their surplus
lots instead of holding them for the shipping
trade There was no change In cheese.
The following sales were made on the ex>
change:
