Eggs at Top Prices.

Sharp advances in eggs and butter have
heen the principal features OF the country
produce markets, the highest grade OF
eggs having reached a top figure OF 6o
cents a dozen wholesale. and held 1t for
three days There was slight tendency
toward a little easier range in the lata
trading for other grades than the very
best but with the supply scant and tho
demand from those who can afford TO pay
such prices still holding, the market held
firm on the top grade. Dealers have taken
advantage OF this upturn in the high
grades to boost prices OF the cheaper
runs. especially storage goods. There does
not appear to be any scarcity of the lat
ter and. so far as can be seen, the only
excuse for the increases made is the de-
sire to grab more profits. Importatons
of foreign eggs have not been OF sufficient
quantity or high enough quality to have
any appreciable effect on this market.
Butter also has advanced In price for
practically all grades. although the In.
crease has not been so great as in the
case of eggs. Vegetables and small fruits
have been somewhat frmer, potatoes have
gone up little, anu othef e'NiA eio
as first class has held its previous rate
where there has been no advance made
Apples are tending higher. especially Tor
the fine table varieties. Live poultry de-
clined a little late in the week. and there
IS every prospect of liberal and COM
paratively cheap supply of turkeys for

mound has been made in the price of ma
tive sides Of dressed beef, but Other
changes in the meat and livestock mar.
kets have been only fractional.
The Tribune's tabulation OF the changei

market for the week shows that twelve

mained at the quotations Of the previoui
