WHOLESALE MARKET.

WHOLESALE MARKET.
i All kinds of prices are being
| charged for eggs. The market is
| much lower than 1t was early in the
| week, dealers report. and the prices
quoted depend entirely upon the
quality of the eggs.
Dealers say the recent hot weather
played havoc with eggs. Many of
them received the past few days were
below standards. but plenty good
fresh stock is to be had. Prices went
as low as 81 cents today.
Fair supplies of spring chickens,
hens and roosters are being received.
Supplies are equal to demands and
the market has stiffened since last
week.
