Prices on Chicago Market
Down 1 to Cents.

Chicago. June 1.-THE table tri-
umvirate-butter, eggs and produce
tottered today. Prices on the open
market dropped from l to 8 cents.
Experts predicted further lowering of
prices due to heavy receipts, heavy
storage holdings and the melting
away of export demand.
There was also the tx" represent
ing the unknown quantity held by the
war department.
But prices today ruled from to 10
cents higher than they did one year
ago.
Predictions were made that losses
will be sustained by some spectators
in these products. Reports available
from fifty-seven warehouses here
showed the ice houses bursting with
tatables far in excess of those on hand
III June. 1918.
There were 100000 pounds of
butter as against 100000 a year ago.
There were 100000 cases of eggs
compared with the 100000 on hand
last June.
Big shipments thrown directly into
the market today indicated a belief
among some traders that lower rates
ar in sight.
