what the future OF the egg market VIII be
no one knows. This year eggs have peeA

iunport OF outside eggs has so disturbed tle
market that dealers are very much pug

would not buy Tor the present. because n, ra
feared a further drop. That there are
many outside eggs in the market IaeIe Is
no doubt. They are very inferior 70 tie

first-class ranch. They are not, and expe-
rienced dealers know 1t. Some or the OUT
side eggs are all right, but many OF them
are very inferior.
