EGGS-With packers buying iber-
ally for current consumption, and
most of the receivers rehandling and
repacking best eggs for storage, the
market closed last night in good
shape, with firmer tendency. There
is no accumulation in the stores, and
buyers are more active than at any
time during the month. Western
shippers are holding firm, and Chi
cago advanced yesterday &c. on fine
grades. Goose eggs are in limited
supply, not wanted and down to soc.
Duck eggs can be had for dc, and
receivers do not like to bother with
them. Prices follow: Fresh gath
cred, extras, 211s@22c.; storage
packed firsts. 2O1aQ21c.; regular
packed, firsts, 191s@2Oc.; seconds, 18A

LIVE POULTRY-Marke was fair
ly well cleaned up, with a firm feeling
on fowls, with general price of large
1870. There are more old ROSTERS
than are required and sale is slow.
Some of the best are cleaning UP.
There Is virtually no demand for
turkeys and few on the market.

DRESSED POULTRY-While there
was a fair amount of trading yester-
day, market closed dull and unsatis-
factory. Closely graded heavy fowls,
northern and western sections, sell
more readily than any other line.
Where fowls are under pounds and
come under ice 1t is difficult to move
them freely. Enough old ROSTERS to
supply the demand. The larger re-
ceipts of spring ducks weakened the
market trifle. Frozen poultry Is not
moving satisfactorily. Trading Is
mostly in fancy heavy fowls. The
small fowls were neglected. Fancy
roasting chickens held firm, while
fancy tom turkeys and good hens are
high, with little trading. Prices fol-
low: Fresh killed turkeys, average, a
h., 21@23c; broilers, Philadelphia,
