Tone in Potato Market.
Celery Cheaper

Due largely to the fact that consumers tor
several weeks have considered local eggs a
decided luxury at so and So cents a dozen'
resulting in slow sales by retailers egg nam
dlers have been unable to dispose Of stock
as rapidly as desired. The egg dealers got TO-
gether in the produce market Monday, com
pared notes, and wholesale prices We're re-
duced from 50 cents for fresh ranch candlea
TO A cents, a drop OF cents. and from 40
to 43 cents for fresh ranch, case counts. Ihls
change cuts the retail selling price cents
and it is believed will create a greater de-
mand for eggs There was change in
value Of eastern stock. 80
