showed no change from yesterday.
Referring to the boycott, the Pro-
ULCERS Price Current says. The de-
mand (for eggs is naturally restrict
ed by the high prices ruling and by
an abnormal effect of boycott and
newspaper agitation, but the require
ments of fine fresh stock are suffi-
cient to absorb the small supply of
such available at firm prices"
Some of the wholesale dealers as
serted that the boycott would play in
to the hands of foreign buyers. They
said that men who want eggs for ex-
port are waiting for a reduction in
price. An official daily report issued
for the benefit of produce dealers said
Storage eggs are lower under a re-
duction of speculative support and a
disposition on the part of the distrib-
uting trade to hold off and increase
