PRICE OF EGGS MAY
FIND BREAK TO-DAY
STORAGE GRADES ARE NOW AT A
LOW ERB
Rain Has Sustained Ranch Grades
but FairWeather Is Expected
to Cause Drop in
Quotations

with the quantity of storage eggs re-
duced to nominal amount considering
what the enormous storage was two weeks
ago, the market sustained itself yesterday
but not without apprehension The condi-
tions are such that drop in prices is pre-
dicted for today due to the increase in
shipments to this city and to the attitude
of the storage Dealers who, having taken
their profit in losses by eastern shipments
are now ready to enter the field without
fear. Storage grades were bid higher yes
terday. which is taken an indication that
the egg market is likely to see changes
today The rains phevented the ranchers
from reaching the market and consequently
prices on high grade stuff has been easily
maintained.
The whole tone of the market yesterday
was improved and activity. was manifested.
Potatoes are still too abundant to make the
market firm, and it will require several
days of receipts below normal, such as yes
terday's to restore strength. Seed pota-
toes are moving well and sweet potatoes
were still in demand without too large
supply. g.
Butter maintains its normal condition in
all respects at firm prices.
There was some improvement in trults
with a better quality in general The apA-
ity of gardeners to pick yesterday VIII, II
is expected furnish large supply todaY
which may affect the market little
Strawberries were unchanged, although the
receipts were light. The poor quality Of
fered didn't strengthen the prices. oranges
and lemons were fairly steady the rams
having given the market an opportunity TO
dispose of an excess.
Apples of good quality maintain irmness
and find a good demand.
