Further price gains have featured the

were not confined to any one product, but
all have gone higher than during any

to content themselves with a lower
grade at even higher price. Fine SO-s2
score has sold from 35c-37c up to 3Sc-39c,
northern fresh has gone from 39c to 42c,
and even the low scores have advanced
&c until 36c is about the bottom for sny
grade.

about one half the price of butter, and

the westerns have reached 45c-50c. The i
price advance has enabled many dealers
that ordinarily hold their storage eggs for
next winter to use them now and secure
a profit, and as the quality OF these is
much better than late arrivals, this class
has sold up rapidly from 2Gc-39c to zee
34c.

been very short and the better demand
has enabled receivers to secure 2c-Sc
more on about all classes. Fresh five 10
six pound fowl have advanced to 36c-Sfc'
smaller sizes to 36c, broilers nave
sold readily at 40c-45c. and ROSTERS have
