Egg Market Easier.

VI especial interest TO the mousse
keeper.
Egg Market Easier.
The egg market, it is said. is be-
coming easier, and a drop from 60 to
55 cents dozen will be found on the
most choice eggs. The ordinarily good
egg shows no change in price from
last week, but the drop in the hen
merry grade is said to indicate the COM
ing lower prices all along the egg line.
Many meats also show lower prices.
Lamb which last week was quoted at
80 cents pound for the choice grades,
has dropped cents, though prices on
less choice grades are unchanged.
Fresh pork. with the exception of
chops, is lower, and corned hams
show drop of a cent a pound on the
best grades. Mutton is from az to 5
cents pound cheaper. and the best
grades of stewing beef are 2 cents a
pound cheaper. The butter market in
prices. and this morning the best
grades of Elgin butter are quoted at
from 40 to As cents pound, but a good
table butter can be bought in the mar
ket as low as 33 cents a pound.
In the fish market hard crabs have
practically disappeared from the bench
es, though few are still on sale. The
market. except on rockfish, which are
higher, is unchanged from that of last
week. Hothouse tomatoes are on sale
at 40 cents a pound, but the ordinary
variety is still on sale at as low as 10
cents a pound.
