LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
This mornings market on strictly
fresh eggs was not so strong. Re-
ceipts are steadily increasing and
dealers predict lower prices in the
next few days. Prices ranged from
56 to 60 cents. Fresh western eggs
are being received in quantities suf-
iciently large to affect the market
on nearby stock.
Storage eggs are particularly plen-
tiful and holders are anxious to get
rid of supplies. This years supply,
II is stated, is much larger~than
that of last year. 1t is the aim OF
packers to get rid of their eggs be-
fore January Is, according TO local
dealers
Because of the large quantities in
storage, 1t Is stated, there probably
will be storage eggs on the market
until early spring. Today dealers of
fered storage stock as low as 20
cents.

TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, December l0.-With little
demand in evidence except on declines.
wheat tended downward in price today
during the early dealings. Numerous
traders continued to assert belief that
some method would be devised in Wash
