EGGS ADVANCE
SECOND TIME
Butter and Meats Are Also Strong
er But Consumer Is Escaping
as Yet
POULTRY is CHEAPEST
FOOD IN ITS CLASS NOW
Wide Range in Hop Quotations in
Other States Indicates That
Considerable Damage Has Been
Done in Some Yards

ling more expensive. SO tar as the
consumer is concerned the price of
eggs, it is shown, is directly out of
his or her pocket as the advanced
cost has been put on the purchaser.
The retail price for the strictly fresh
article is now as cents dozen. 50
far as butter and meat are concerned
the grocer and the butcher, for the
present, theoretically at least, are
standing it. That is, they are taking
a smaller profit
Butter went up a cent yesterday
and meat went up a half cent. This
means an increase in the retail price
within a brief time There is no pros
pect in sight for declines in any of
these articles so far as the expert can
see. Eggs and butter are more likely
to continue to advance through the
winter months and IL the scarcity of
beef reported Is a fact, that article
cannot decline, it is pointed out 1t is
the opinion of the Portland dealers
that the hog market may break a
little and mutton has not reached the
high figures of the other two ami
mails.
Chickens Are Cheaper
Chickens continue to be cheap
enough, at least so far as the prices
paid producers are concerned, and
the time is coming when the ducks
and geese will be brought in for sale
Along with this might be mentioned
the fact that sweet potatoes are get
tin cheaper and also 1t might be an
Tnounced, in anticipation of the cold
weather and the bird supply that
cranberries have made their appear
ance
Range In Hop Prices
Business continues to be slow with
reference to hay and potatoes and no
market has fixed itself for hops. The
range in hop quotations, in Oregon
and California running from fourteen
to nineteen cents pound, is greater
than has been customary. 1t means,
1t is pointed out, that there are some
poor hops and that those who have
them would like to market. 1t means
also that the good hops will bring
good figure, 80 far as can be antici-
pated at this time ana that the hold
ers of that kind, unless pressed other
wise, need not hurry.
