PRICES OF EGGS
REMAIN THE SAME

spite Heavy Shipments
to the East.

Heavier shipments of poultry were re-
ceived today. While prices remained the
same, supply and demand were bette:
adjusted, heavy volume of business
being transacted 1t is believed the mar
ket will be considerably easier during
the rest OF the week
Eggs ruled at yesterdays prices.
While heavy shipments are moving East
the local supply is sufficient for de-
mand. and there is no immediate pros
pect Of the quotation advancing. Strictly
fancy goods continue to bring a
premium.
