 Monday, Sept 2S-Most poultry products were in a firm market position. Higher prices developed late last week for live fowl and young stock showed slightly firmer tone. Most kinds of dressed poultry remained firm while eggs continued short of buyers needs except in the case of small eggs. Heavy roasting chickens were very light in supply earlier in the month and high prices being paid by retailers for them in many in stances. Within the past few days, however, receipts of this class of dressed stock from western sources have increased and the market weakened.
 A wide variety of grades and sizes of eggs are now on sale. Ma tives consist of three distinct sizes-large, medium and bullets while westerns are arriving in as many sizes and of more grades than normally. A few westerns from storage are offered, the usual firsts and extra firsts of the fresh mixed colors are available and more than normal of higher grade westerns such as Pacific Coast and other special marks are also offer ed. The usual grades were selling from 25 to 30 cents per dozen when full size. Pacific Coast and other special marks ranged from 35 to AZ cents per dozen for large sizes. Few natives of full size are selling below AZ to 45 cents per dozen.
 At the farmers market tomatoes were firm and as high as 1.25 to 1.50 per basket when high grade. Green and wax beans sold mostly around $1.00 per bushel. Potatoes mostly 75 cents per bushel Pep pers continued liberal and low priced.
