Eggs-Have been quite scarce and supply is
decidedly shor', but the increasing demand
for cases from the country indicate that heav-
Ter receipts are expect d, and while these may
be delayed some by the present cold snap and
heavy storms, they ara bound to come before
long, and we don't think that the high prices
can bs counted upon for a great length of
time. To-day sales were made at 30@ Sic,
and there is a possibility that they will go a
notch or two higher within the next few days.
The total condition of the present egg market
may be summed up in the word "unsettlei +"
and we shall not fail to keep our cOnsignors
promptly posted on whatever change may
take place.
