Steady Egg Market Looked For.

Portland egg market has set
tied at the 18-cent basis, where it will
probably remain during the rest of
the storage season 1t is expected,
with warmer weather at hand, that
receipts will increase fast, but this is
not likely to cause any difference in
the market, as spectators are pre-
pared to take all that come in at this
price.
The following notice to egg shippers
has been issued by a leading local
buyer:
"To facilitate the rapid transaction
Of business during the egg-storing sea-
son, we have decided to suspend the
established rule for grading eggs dur
ing the months of March, April and
May, 1916, and substitute therefor the
following simple and. we believe, en-
