Eggs-Quotations are unchanged.
The market is firm on account of re-
ceipts shrinking. The quality, how
ever, is deteriorating. Reports from
New York state that the market is
firm and the receipts light. Many
eggs are now going into storage. At
Chicago the market was easy and
trade satisfactory.
Poultry-Co Conditions In this depart
ment are unchanged. Supplies are
heavy, but an increased demand keeps
prices from declining. In week or
ten days spring chickens will be on
the market. This will probably force
the price of old stock down.
Fresh Meats-Bologna has advanced
and is now quoted from 10c to 12c.
There has also been some changes in
live stock. Cows have advanced and
are quoted from $3.50 to 81. Hogs,
light and heavy, have declined, the
former quoted at IS, the latter at ST..
Sheep and hogs are now more plenti-
full but beef continues scarce.
Lard and Cured Meats-No change
has taken place in this department.
Prices on all lines are firm and the sit
uation is characterized by a shortage
of stocks.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Approximations are in a little
better shape now on account of it be-
ing so late in the season, but business
continues uninteresting. A report
from New York says that offerings
Il
Strawberries - California strawber-
ries are now off the market. The
fruit from Kennewick is coming in
more abundantly now and quotations
have declined and now range from 81
to $3.50.
Other Fruits-Other fruits remain
unchanged, with the market in general
steady and satisfactory demand in
evidence.
Potatoes-The local market has
been awakened from it's lethargy by
the radical leap in prices at Chicago
during the past week. Prices there
have advanced in jumps of five and
ten cents each day. During the week
the total advance was from the former
price of soc to 90c. Several carloads
have been shipped from Spokane al
Csc per hundred. California new pc
tatoes have declined slightly.
Other getables-Bermuda onions
have declined and range from $1.75 tC
$2.25. Due to dry weather in that 10
cality, California peas have advanced
to 1Oc. Asparagus is about off the
market and prices are now tritit
higher. Spinach is selling at 90c.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Another slight advance il
noted in the market this week. Quo
tatiOns now run: Bluestem, sacked
ssAc; red Russian, 7s1ac; club, size
Business in this department is becom
ing slower from week to week as thu
; grain is gradually getting cleaned GU
in the country. 1t is believed there is
on an average, not more than four o
five per cent of the crop left in tn
warehouses.
Flour-Quotations in this depart
ment are unchanged, but the marke
is strong in sympathy with the stead
advance in wheat. Business in thi
line is not very heavy and most o
the mills-have considerable stock Of
hand. A great many mills are nov
, shut down and are doing repair wor
on their plants. Most of them will no
start up again until the new GRO
, comes off.
Feed-Prices have changed consit
cradle during the past week. Timoth
has advanced to $22 per ton, whea
: hay to 20, bran and shorts to So
|. barley to $2s and corn to $3OQ32. TIL
advances on hay are due to a shor
I age of supplies Millstuffs are stron
, in sympathy with the advance 1
, wheat.
