This will prove of vast benefit to the
Inland Empire, where there Is I'M
bounded opportunity for the prosecu-
ton of development activities.
In the matter of prices. declines for
the week are noted in butter, eggs and
wheat; advances in grapefruit, grapes,
cheese, dry onions, parsnips and
poultry.
Provisions.
Butter-Under weakening cOndi-
ton of the market, butter took another
drop locally during the past week or
two cents and is quoted at 81 TO "a
cents for Washington creamery and
"a to SO cents for eastern. Country
choice is little stronger at 26 cents.
At Chicago butter prices took slump
of a pronounced character and the
market is in a very unsatisfactory
condition. There was decline in the
market at New York during most of
the week. Everything along the line
went down and the entire butter trade
was in demoralized condition.
Eggs-Stocks have been coming to
hand in just about sufficient quanti-
ties to supply the demands, but, new
ertheless quotations are shade lower
than a week ago, at $9@9.50 to the
producers, and $40 wholesale. Under
the accumulation of stocks the market
at New York experienced decline
the fore part of the week, but closed
steady, with the stocks fairly well
cleaned up. With receipts Of fresh
eggs from the country on the increase
and mild weather, the market at Chi
cago showed pronounced weakness.
Poultry-Chickens have been more
plentiful during the week, but all other
lines are scarce and as result prices
are little firmer Quotations are, to
the producers live weight, chickens Is
cents, roosters 10c, ducks lac; dressed
wholesale, chickens 1Sc, roosters 12c
and ducks 1sc.
Fresh Meats-There has been nc
; changes as to prices over week age
and stocks are coming to hand In SUI
ficient quantities to meet all require
ments. Coast advices note the arriva
Of shipload of beef from Australia
which included 1900 carcasses Of bee
and 500 carcasses Of mutton.
Lard and Cured Meats-The situa
ton is holding easy at former levels
and no marked changes are anticipat
. ed at the present time.
