PORK AND VEAL co
LOWER IN PRICES
Hogs Also Cheaper-Slump
in Egg Market Also Ex-
pected in Few Days.

Last weeks plentiful supply of
rabbits meant a reduction in the cost
of living. so far as that particular
class of game was concerned. and it
took the place of other meats.
Pork and veal prices also showed q
decline. Hogs were quoted at 10
cents, and calves at 11a11h this
morning. Dealers attribute the
weather conditions as the cause for
the decreased price of hogs, antici-
pating higher prices when the wealth
er gets colder.
There has been practically no
change in the condition of the tur-
key and chicken market since the
Thanksgiving holiday season. Dressed
turkeys were quoted at 3S and 30
this morning and chickens at 26.
Dealers today expressed the belief
that egg prices will take a drop
before Christmas. Selected eggs were
quoted at 60, and average receipts
at 81.
