.EGGs ADVANCE z CENTS
A DOZEN FOR CHRISTMAS
Supply Said to Have Consider
ably Decreased-Butter Sit
uation Discussed

On the produce exchange yesterday dealers
were most anxious to secure fresh local eggs
The product sells in lots OF ten and twelve
cas,s. Increased demand and shortage IN sup
ply caused jump in quotations, the advance
| being 2 cents a dozen for both local ana tresn
eastern eggs, while storage STOCK was ileS'i aor
a cent In value. Wholesale price Of fresh can
died is 40 cents; case counts, 80 cents eastern
fresh, 32c; storage, 2Sc to 90c
Sweet potatoes jumped to $3.50 per hundred
weight. Demand is strong.
| Butter prices were without change. An
other z cent was added to the price in san
Francisco, making total advance OF Sls cents
| in San Francisco quotations within the last
two days. 1t Is believed the rapid rise in
prices there is due solely to manipulation,
and that prices will react as soon as the holt
day has passed The market here is not IN
condition to stand an advance Receipts Of
| fresh stock and the output Of storage being
more than enough to meet requirements at
| this time The recent sharp advance IN san
| Francisco will divert more butter to that
market and give local dealers an opportunity
to move more Of their storage holdings.
Receipts Of produce were: Eggs, 16l cases;
butter. 20. .516 pounds cheese 1920 pounds po-
tatoes, 1850 sacks; sweet potatoes, $40 sacks;
apples, 6Oi boxes
