WEEK STARTS WITH
RUSH IN MARKETS
Eggs Are Reduced a Cent.
Strawberries Lower Than
on Saturday

Business on Morris avenue yesterday
started off with rush and merchants
are predicting a heavy demand for the
week. The only change was in the
price of eggs. the quotations being re
dueed l cent. This was done because
Of heavy shipments received saturday
and because of the excellent prospects
for continued steady arrivals of con-
signments. Hens are now coming in
little better but II is still hard for
the dealers to supply the demand
In the produce market no change is
apparent, except that business is brisk.
Oranges are said to be somewhat
scarce but II is thought the shortage Is
only temporary and that 1t will be re-
lieveo soon. Strawberries are selling for
35 cents "a box, which is a reduction
over Saturdays quotations of cents.
There are not enough strawberries on
the market to cause any material price
change. the season being somewhat
early yet.
The fish market starts off the new
week in fine shape. Supplies are cas-
lily adequate to care for the excellent
demand and merchants are optimistic
