toes Firmer

Local ranch eggs took another big drop ir
value in the produce market yesterday, rancf

This change results in price to consumers
around 40 and 40 cents instead of SO and d
cents dozen, which figures prevailed during
the Thanksgiving season.

unchanged. Bean dealers are looking foI
higher quotations. The market is decidedly
firm.
