PRICES HOLD FIRM
|. At CENTER MARKET
Storage of Eggs for Next
Winter Now Keeping Price
Levels High.

Very firm was reported of the con
dition of the egg market this morn
ing.
I'm both New York and Chicago
storing activities are greater than
usual" remarked a local dealer, land
the storage stock at this time is 600
900 cases greater than at this time a
year ago"
Dealers are anticipating high prices
next Winter. Chicago packing houses
are reported putting eggs away for
next Winters trade at 80 cents, while
in New York the price at this time is
81.
There is slight probability of cheap
er eggs this season, according to
dealers. The butter market was up
one-quarter and one-half cent this
morning, but the slight change will
not affect the retail market.
