Since the first OF last month the price
OF eggs In the Chicago market has dropped
fully 1913 cents per dozen The present
outlook is far from encouraging to the
many firms on South Water street who
have every corner in their establishment
filed up with eggs, and good. fire., stock
at that A month ago there was u general
complaint about tho scarcity OF eggs, aud
also US to the poor gu ality then arriving.
Hardly enough were received daily then
to supply the wants OF retail Gu stomers
and storage eggs came in handy. Now e2gs
are almost unstable. stock is coming in
from all points The large receipts
which are unusual a, this season of the
year. have caused a serious loss to many
dealers The only plausible cause is to be
found in the mild aud open winter. which
has been favorable for production. Be-
sides the liberal receipts OF fresh eggs. Il
large supply OF icekouse stock is on Sale
This naturally tends to lessen the con-
sumption OF the fresh stock. When con-
sumers are aware that fresh eggs can be
bought At 1ola cents per dozen probably
more will be taken. The price is given to
the jobber'. but a very small additional
sum is asked on retail sales. Almost any
reasooa able price would be taken by hold
ers to dispose OF their surplus stock.
