 Wednesday. March 1.-The up- ward price movement of hogs and pork was still in progress. Pork Joins were showing the greatest price up- swing, latest quotations being 4c to 5c per pound higher than the top figures at which small loins were selling most of the time during the first two months of the year. Live hogs were reported selling about $1.O0 per 100 pounds higher at inn portant middle western slaughtering centers. Other meats were not shar- ing in the higher firmer market. Some observers attributed the higher work market to the unfavorable weather conditions last week in pro- ducing areas.
 Western fresh eggs were still re- fiecting the effects of the storms which occurred last week in import ant producing states of the middle west by showing further price gains. Most eggs of this class, grading first, selling locally were held for 23c per dozen or more today.
 Live poultry was another product which was firmer and 6 little higher due to the same unfavorable wealth CT conditions which curtailed load- ings and shipments to some extent In the area supplying large share of this class of stock.
 It is estimated that the three most important early asparagus states, California, Georgia and South Caro- lima, will ship $ per cent more of this vegetable this year than last.
 Heavy rains and wind 3 week ago wiped out very large part of the tomato crop in two of the import ant producing counties of Florida. Shipments from that state were re- duced last week, but imports from Cuba and Mexico continued heavy.
 Unless otherwise stated quotations are based on sales of good mer. chantablc products to retailers or similar buyers, delivered.
