eggs AND BUTTER
TAKE SLIGHT DROP
Retail Prices in Yakima of Those
Products Have Faiien--Car-
load of Oranges

Eggs and butter have dropped
slightly in the North Yakima retail
markets, butter selling at two pounds
for seventy-five cents and eggs at two
dozen for seveny-five cents Hither-
to butter has been forty cents
straight per pound and eggs forty
cents straight. with forty-tive pro-
cured in some instances for the
strictly fresh. Potatoes also are
slightly weaker and $22 per ton is
the outside figure which any buyer
was able to quote on Monday. There
is some uneasiness with reference to
the potato and the experts appear to
be una BILE to figure out which way 1t
Will go. With such road conditions
as exist at the present time in Yaki-
ma and are likely to endure for some
time to come, it cannot be expected
that there viii be a very heavy rush
of the crop to market.
Nothing New on Hay
Nothing new has developed in the
hay situation. the only particularly
bright prospect being that work is
picking up and more teams are be-
ing engaged than was the case a
month ago. The likelihood. accord
ing to all reports, is that this will be
an active season in construction and
feeding will be much more the regu-
lar thing than has been the case in
live stock, the situation is practically
unchanged except that dressed NUT
ton has advanced a point or two.
Poultry raisers take it all through,
have had bad year. The price has
been unusually low throughout the
winter months and is now showing
practically no change With roosters
at nine cents and good live hens at
twelve cents. 1t is not highly en-
couraging to the breeders.
A car load of oranges reached the
city Monday from California for the
acitic Fruit & Produce company, and
much to the surprise of those who
inspected ii was found to free from
frost or from any trace of the cold
which has recently caused considers-
Bile damage in California
