light movement from the West put up
the price of fresh eggs yesterday &c.

ficient to meet the demand, but most
of them were under shippers limits
and jobbers were completely out,
hence the advance. The cold wave
gave storage eggs quite boost and
they were up lC. There are but few
left, there being less than 10000 cases
in the metropolitan district. Seconds
in fresh were active all of yesterday.

LIVE POULTRY-Weath condi-
tions were against free traffic and un-
leading yesterday. There were AZ cars
and a few shipments by express on
Monday. The weather all over the
West is cold, and live. poultry suffers
in transit. Before the recent cold
snap advices were that there would
be more poultry this week, but re-
ceivers do not expect as much as they
| had last week. The market will prob
| ably be governed largely by receipts.
| No prices were made yesterday, con-
seouently quotations are impossible.
