in any department. Orders, while not
large, are being placed regularly and

feature of the markets is the steady
decline in spring produce.
Following are the declines for the
week: Gooseberries, cherries, straw
berries, new potatoes, onions, cab
bage, Oregon peas, beans. lettuce, to-
matoes and wheat. Advances were in
lemons and oranges.
Provisions.
Butter-The market is quite strong.
The demand is good and supplies
somewhat light, consequently an ad-
vance can be expected before long.
AT New York there was an advance
in quotations.
Eggs-Prices on eggs are steady.
Although poor eggs are quite plenti-
full, difficulty is experienced in get
ting good quality. At Chicago the
stock showed poor quality and moved
slowly.
Cheese-Quotation on -'-eese are
unchanged and although the market
is nrm there is not much prospect of
an immediate advance.
Poultry-No change is noted in con-
ditions this week. Although supplies
are quite plentiful, the demand is am
pie to take care of the stock and con-
sequently business is good. Spring
chickens, however, are somewhat
scarce.
Fresh Meats-Although supplies of
beef are improving, this commodity is
still scarce and quotations strong.
) Pork is quite plentiful and the market
somewhat weak. The demand for
sheep likewise is being we'll supplied,
but no changes in prices are pre-
dicted.
Lard and Cured Meats-Lard at
present is unchanged, but local deal
ers predict an advance in this com
modify about the middle of July as
at that time country stocks will have
been pretty well cleaned up and the
demand will naturally turn heavier to
packing centers. Cured meats are I'M
: changed with the market strong.
Hides and Woodworking new has
8 developed in this department. Quo
?, tations are easy and business con
tinues quiet on account of tariff re
}. adjustment.
