ADVANCE OF ONE CENT
IN LOCAL EGG PRICES
The Demand for Fresh Eggs Ii Large
and Receipts Are
Storage Supplies Decreasing.

Erg prices were boosted 1 cent yesterday by
the local tobbers. to 2sg27 ccents. against 26
cents, the price which has prevailed here for
more than a week. The anticipated easier feel
ing in the egg market on account Of the milder
weather failed TO materialize. Yesterday the de-
mand for fresh eggs was heavier. The indirect
'caase for the advance yesterday is the decrease
in the local supplies OF storage eggs. Receipts
OF fresh eggs are so small now that they have no
effect I'm the market. and the storage stocks are
being reduced rapidly.
Following the advance in the Eastern poultry
market. local turkey prices were advanced to ID
cents yesterday from 1914 cents. There may be
another slight advance on the price OF young
turkeys before Christmas. but il Is not expected
that the local turkey market will go past II
cents this year.
General business on Commission row continues
IN a moderately large volume There is plenty
of city trade and the country demand is fairly
large, but the country business Is handicapped
just now by the cold weather.

This is the largest one days wheat inspection
for several weeks. The six cars amount to
about 200 bushels, or nearly twice as much as

With the millers using considerably less wheat
than they did a few weeks ago, and the re-
larger than those of last week II looks as n the
decrease in the stocks of wheat here this week
will be considerably smaller than the decrease
shown by the Board of Trades weekly state

cars daily by the beginning OF the new year.
AS to the probable quality Of the receipts the
interesting theory is advanced that il will be
poorer, because the farmers OF the Northwest
have been marketing their best wheat first.
Usually, the reverse is the case. and 1t is adj
mitted farmers began marketing their poor
wheat first this fall. but It is claimed they got
heavier dockage charged than usual by the eIel
vator companies that they stopped marketing
instead. The fact that choice wheat has been
bringing high premiums all the fall gives the
that a good portion OF the wheat held back has
been bin burned, and that the quality of the
year will average considerably lower than what
has already been moved.
