REDUCTION MADE
IN PRICES OF EGGS
Demand Continues to Hold
Up Well in Produce
Market

Egg prices were yesterday reduced
to 81 cents for candled and "a cents
for extra graded The dealers say that
this is not due to a decreased demand
but TO the fact that the shipments
are now beginning to arrive with more
regularity. The business in the poultry
and egg market yesterday was fairly
LrislS, although the middle of the week
is usually dull.
In the produce market the demand
continues to hold up well and the sup
ply is in keeping. The changes in the
price of apples of from 81 to s1.50 are
due, 1t is said. to the excellent de-
mand for this fruit and the fact that
they are not now arriving with as
much regularity as was evidenced dur
ing Christmas week. The merchants
are optimistic and predict even better
business for the remainder of the
week.
Business in the fish market during
the present week has been very good.
The supply has been consistent and
prices are reasonable. The features of
yesterdays trading was the advance in
Spanish mackerel. which is now quoted
at Is and 20 cents a pound. Pompano
also experienced a rise and the quota
tion is now 25 cents. oysters are on
the decline in prices but the demand
continues excellent.

Business may have been somewhat
restricted by the holiday in New Or
leans. but local traders regarded the
dullness as Indicating that scattered
accounts had previously been we'll
evcned up for over the report Of the
census bureau at the opening tomor-
row morning and about the only trad
ing feature was some selling of July
here early In the day against pur-
chases in Liverpool.
Cables were rather lower than due,
but after opening steady at decline
of l to points the local market rail-
lied to about the closing figures OF last
night during the first few minutes on
some scattered covering, which an
peared to be inspired by bullish over
night spot adviees from the south or
reports of an easier financial situation
abroad
There was no snap to the BUYING
however and the relative steadiness
compared with Liverpool appeared to
attract some straddle selling of the
summer months. These offerings very
soon weakened prices and the market
during the middle of the morning sold
about to points net lower
The close of Liverpool then shut OUT

ing last prices being within a point

strength during the latter part of the

Reduction in the Bank of Englands
discount rate from TO Az per cent
exerted an important influence on some
for time, assisting in the upturn.
The deficit of the change in the dis
count rate was increased by the strong
showing of the banks weekly state
ment, disclosing an increase in the pro-
portion of reserves to liabilities from
32.39 to 49.34 per cent. There was evi-
denee of improving conditions in the
domestic money market also. Call loars
were renewed at 21s per cent and low
er rates were quoted for time loans
and mercantile discounts.
The afternoon recession in stocks
was influenced by several develop
ments which exerted an adverse in
fluence. The monthly copper statistics
showed an increase in stocks of As
100000 pounds, a much larger falling
eff in consumption than had been ex-
pected. Domestic deliveries were the
smallest of any month of the five years
in which the producers association has
been issuing reports. Copper stocks
which had held up we'll in the fore

CORN PRICES ARR:
HEAVY At CLOSE
The Expanding Competition
From Argentina Causes
a Sharp Break

Chicago. January S-Break after
break followed one another in corn
today. Expanding competition from
Argentine was chiefly responsible.
Prices closed heavy. ls@1Ac to 1as
a lsc under yesterday. Wheat suffered
a net loss of 4 a sc to Sc and oats
decline of 1se to 4 a sc. In provisions
the outcome was rise of i2iso to Il
QS7kc.
Argentine corn. which had been
bought for gulf ports, at the Chicago
May quotations was being hedged in
the pit here with other cargoes from
the South American republic said to
be pressing for sale.
Deferred shipments from Argentine,
it was said. were rendered at below
the Chicago May basis.
Buenos Aires dispatches told of
sharp setback in prices there and of
active liquidating sales by holders, the
result of prospects of a record break
ing crop. Added to the weight of corn
on the market was a volume of re-
selling from shorts who covered yes
terday
Mild weather that promised con-
tinuance of slack demand from feed
ers tended further to make bearish
sentiment more radical. Rallies were
brief and feeble with final values at
almost the lowest point of the ses-
sion.
Although steady during most of the
dealings wheat eventually responded to
the collapse in corn. A strong close
at Liverpool, small receipts every
where and the disappearance of snow
throughout the winter crop states
failed to check selling furry thai
developed in the last hour and that
left the market in rather nervous
condition.
Two Minneapolis mills were reported
to have closed down because of a lack
of shipping directions for flour.
Selling of oats reached a larger to-
tai than usual of late on orders un-
broken. One of the houses on change
was conspicuous in switching from the
bull side.
Higher prices for hogs put backbone
into provisions. Provisions took an ae-
tive hand in the trading but seemed
to have widely differing views in re-
gard to the market prospect.
