WHOLESALE MARKET.

WHOLESALE MARKET.
Unsettled conditions marked the
egg market this morning. While
wholesale prices were 26 cents for
large lots and 81 for small lots, nu-
merous retailers offered them for the
latter price.
New York wholesale prices yester-
day were 80 and 81 cents, while Phila-
delphia quoted a price of 284 cents.
Local dealers think nearby shippers
may divert their supplies to the other
markets and cause a scarcity here.
Very little change in meat prices
have been reported recently. Beef
and veal are plentiful at prices that
have prevailed the past few days,
while the market on lambs is
stronger.
