BUTTER SILL WEAK
UNDER BIG RECEIPTS
PROSPECT FOR FURTHER DE-
CLINE is GOOD
Trading Indicates That the Bottom
Has Not Been Reached-Eegs
Are Firm, but Market Is
Deemed Uncertain

moving sympathetically with butter. was
weak and dull
Firmness characterized the trading In
eggs. An advance gained in local
ranch candled, the price going to 24c and
it remained firm at the new quotation. The
egg market, however. is uncertain the rains
being large factor in the fuctuation.
Other produce fairly firm at quota
TONS the rain preventing heavy receipts.
The market is feeling the presence of
Chinese New Years festivities and the re-
ceipts of green vegetables were light and
an advance on the best grades was made
Potatoes because of the surplus, are weak
and heavy receipts continue.
Fruits were strengthened by small re-
ceipts and were Arm but unchanged.
