Advance Regarded as
Probable.

Prospects Good for Tomorrow.
Prevailing Quotations.

The markets today were well supplied
with everything seasonable the house,
keeper could desire for the table and
prices quoted were about the same as
those of last week. Though the dealers
say there is n scarcity of eggs, both
fresh and storage prices on that COM
modify have not changed in the past
three weeks. Storage stock, both In the
local cold storsg sc plants and in the west.
is getting low, and unless there IS a
heavy increase in the receipts from the
country 1t is said to be probable that eggs
will again advance in price. It is about
time however, for the hens to resume
LAYING, and the dealers are hopeful that
before the reserve supply Is exhausted
fresh eggs will be coming in in good
quantities Fortunately for the egg sit
uation, the demand for several weeks has
been rather light, and this has kept the
supply from being exhausted before this
Lamb and Pork Decline.

The dealers in the market report busi-

morrow will find prices ranging at about
the figures prevailing in the markets to-
day
