Quotations for Eggs
Predicted

/ tent because Of the rumored rainfall IN lls
/ valleys, but reports from the San Joaquin
/ section indicated that beans, raisins and
! grapes have thus far been uninjured.
The onion market was weaker, prices drop
ping to S1.50gl.65 per hundredweight
3 Eggs decidedly firm at unchangta
! prices. Receipts are light and the demand
| good. Jobbers expect higher prices in the
! next few days.
Butter continues steady to firm, with Moth
! ing in sight to point to either an advance or
! a decline Certainly no decline is regarded as
! probable. Cheese holds firm at the fuH quo
I tations.
i In the green vegetable and fruit market
/ business was fair Cucumpers were in too
/ large supply, and were offered practically at
/ buyers own price. The top price for straw
I berries was cut down to cents, while the
! cheapest grade sold for cents. Blackper-
! ries sold for cents.
Reports from local and eastern producing
! sections indicate that there VIII be the usual
! scarcity of turkeys for the Thanksgiving
| trade. In fact conditions are not quite as
! good as usual on account OF the late spring
| in the east. The birds deyeioped slowly, and
as result they will be thin and light weight.
! For the Christmas trade the birds will be
! better developed. Prices will be higher both
| for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The supply of fish far, enough to meet
| the demand.

| butter, 16, ,46O pounds; cheese, 9sS pounds; po-
