Frank Cope, a local jobber, today said
it was probable that they would drop

decrease likely before the close of the
day.
Cope said that on Tuesday shippers
were offering s1S.05 a case for eggs,
on Wednesday SIG and only S14.50
today.
'It looks as if the spring break in
eggs is due" said Cope, but of course
the weather is the determining factor.
If the present warm weather con-
tinues, expect to see eggs drop 81
to $3.50 case daily. Dealers re-
member the big break last year when
eggs dropped 81 cents a dozen in one
week"
