Healthy Tone.

Butter Higher and Eggs Lower
Healthy Tone.
While butter. as shown today by prices
In the local wholesale produce market, has
slightly advanced, eggs are little lower.
Butter Is firm and active, and upward
tendencies are observed. No radical change
is. however, looked for. Eggs ave very
plentiful, and, IL warm, open weather pre-
walls, will likely drop little lower There
Is an active demand for poultry, but prices
remain unchanged. The latter is true of
about all other products. The market is
firm and active, and a generally healthy
tone prevails.
