Send East for Eggs.

Tacoma - Scarcity of local eggs,
both fresh and cold storage, has
caused dealers to send East for their
supplies, the first shipment Of eastern
eggs rolling in this week. The new
arrivals are of ordinary quality and
are quoted at 80 cents dozen. Sew
eral carloads haye been ordered and
will arrive as soon as possible. The
demand for eggs is reported good.
Ranch eggs ara unusually scarce,
say dealers, and mo- definite market is
recognized. This grade of eggs de-
mands anything between 35 and 40
cents dozen. The local cold storage
product holds steady at 28c q dozen,
but the supplies are about exhausted.
However, dealers are hopeful that q
change will occur in weather condi-
tions and the hens will resume their
duties.

Portland - The shortage in the egg
market continues acute. Very few
ranch eggs are coming from the coun-
try, and but for the supply of Eastern
storage eggs recently received, the
situation would be serious. A part car
Of Oregons, shipped to Seattle short
time ago, has been brought back to
this city. Ranch eggs were quoted un-
candled around Al cents. Poultry and
dressed meat receipts were very light,
and there was little demand. The but
ter market is also har npered by the
unfavorable weather con ditions.
