LOCAL RANCH EGGS
SCARCE WITH DEALERS
Lighter Receipts of Potatoes May
Give Strength TO Market.
Few Fish

In the produce market butter and egg
prices remain unchanged. 1t is expected
that eggs will advance in price lnasmuch
as receipts are below consumption only
sixty-five cases were listed yesterday.
Potato receipts were down to sixteen
sacks Dealers are unloading as rapidly as
possible. hoping that conditions in the spud
market will change for the better.
The demand for apples continues brisk.
In fact total sales this year so far have
broken all previous records. One cause for
this is the unusually low prices. The fact
that the rain may damage grapes. which
are the chief competitors of apples at
present. leads the apple 1obbers to look for
even better demand.
Receipts of produce were: Eggs. s.
cases. butter, 8O316 pounds; cheese S09d s9d
pounds; potatoes, 16 sacks; onions. 1929
sacks; sweet potatoes 299 sacks; apples
