RANCH EGGS FLOOD
DEALERS IN MARKET
HEAVY RECEIPTS CAUSE DROP
OF TWO CENTS
Reported Corner in Fancy Potatoes
in the North-Pink Beans Are
igher-Aligator Pears
Arrive

The feature of the local procdue market
Wednesday was the &c decline in quotations
for ranch and case count eggs, This drop
was brought about by receipts Of 244 cases
not taking into account eggs brought in by
wagon by producers. Dealers are pretty
we'll stocked with eggs, and now that the
retail price per dozen Is down TO 40c a
dozen, with meat prices soaring higher, 1t
is expected that consumers will take TO
eggs more freely. Further decline Is eX-
pected.
No change in butter prices.
Rumors of a corner on fancy potatoes in
the north are heard, but prices here are
easy. Poor stock is getting scarce.
Pink beans advanced to S5.25 and $3.50 a
cwt
Alligator pears sold at $3.50 a crate.
Receipts were: Eggs Pa cases; butter
1862 pounds. cheese, or poundsi pota-
toes, 1901 sacks; onions, sacks; beans
1892 sacks; sweet potatoes, 1913 sacks.
