FIGHT ON BERRIES
. NOW ON IN MARKET
Prices Down to Low LeveI-NeW
Potatoes Come from
Idaho

Idaho
Decided weakness In the potato market was
| noticed yesterday, due to further heavy re
| ceipts. New potatoes arriving from Idaho
| flrmer tone prevailed in eggs, as receipts
| were comparatively light.
| Butter was easy; receipts As, 600 pounds.
About 5000 crates of strawberries reached the
| market and shipped to Seattle. The
market is in demoralzed condition, prices be
! ing lowered to 2h03i2 cents. 1t is the fight
! between the two markets that is responsible
| for the poor conditions and low prices or
! berries. The production has been only normal
yet prices a result Of cutting are down tf
a point that not reached last year until
| the middle the last Of May. From the
present outlook every berry handler in the
city well growers, are doomed to lose
| an immense amount Of money on the deal.
| There has been no change in the apple situa-
tion during the last day or two. The market
| is overstocked and sales are made at q sacri-
| flee. Citrus fruit of all kinds is in strong
demand and firm at the recently advanced
! prices. Cherry prices went off another 2,
! cents due to larger receipts
| The market is glutted with fish. The fish
king has ordered that consignments cease fol
| a few days.
