MARKET QUOTATIONS.
Price Of Eggs Unchanged - Demand
for Fish-Butter Advances.

Price OF Eggs Unchanged - Demand
for Fsh-Butter Advances.
There has been no further drop in the
price Of eggs since last week. They remain
at Is cents per dozen, which, however, is
great decline from the price Of several
weeks ago. None of the dealers at the
market would venture to say this morning
what the price will be the latter part of
next week. The country people, it is said,
hold their eggs back from the market about
this time Of the year, sending them in just
a few days before Easter, which fact tends
to increase the supply on hand and then
the prices take q tumble
The dealers report that the price Of but
ter has advanced somewhat during the last
few days. The reason for this it Is pointed
out, Is that stock owners in the west are
selling their grain instead of feeding it to
the stock
There has been a good demand for fish
all over the country during Lent, which
season Is now drawing to a close, and as
result the prices have been high.
Fish, it is said, have not been as plentiful
this year as they might have been. Shad
have been rather backward in coming in,
but those that have reached the market
were fine specimens.
