as compared with 416 for Tuesday. Quota
tions are 27c for extra selects to the retail
ers; 25c for local ranch candled, and 2Zts
for case count 1t was stated that the
supply of local eggs is being cleaned up
fairly well every day and that conditions
justify the slight advance, which, however
does not, affect the retail price.

ing 21.577 pounds considerably less than the
quantity required for daily consumption
