EGGS REACH LOWEST
PRICE THIS WINTER
Several Sales Made at p
CentS-DreSSed POul-
try Scarce.

EGGS reached the lowest price OF the
winter, when several sales were made
today at - cents. There was more or
less variation i'm price, however, in the
total number OF sales made. based upon
tie quality of the goods. ESSs were
about the most plentiful commodity Of
fcred in ,hc produce line.
In practically every division OF the
market there was a noticeable falling
of in supply. Dressed poultry esp@-
ciaIly was scarce, as in bad weather
live fowls are born, The only class of
poultry that reaches the market y
scarcity of ducks strengthened the
price and made demand firm, the ma
jority of sales being made at Il cents
straight
While the weather that is now being
experienced would ordinarily make
trading dun, the fact Of there being a
curtaned supply today kept the mar
ket more or less active. But little stock
wss held over and prices, for the most
part ruled firm.
