EGGS ARE HIGHER
IN LOCAL MARKET
Wholesale Business Lighter
Than Expected Before
Double Holiday.

Closing of the market Friday after
noon gave dealers a respite much
longer than they usually enjoy. Sales
were larger than usual, due to con-
sumers getting in supplies to last
over Sunday, but were not as heavy
as dealers had anticipated, however
due to the fact that several thousani
perso IS left the city for the two-day
holiday.
While cottagers and bungalow
dwellers purchased supplies to take
away. there were numerous others
who depended upon hotels and steam
boat dining rooms for their meals,
lessening the sales in the markets
and stores.
Thousands of live chickens were
held over by wholesalers, and their
care Saturday and yesterday deprived
dealers of the full benefit of the hoh-
day season. All sorts of prices were
reported this morning. Most prices
however. were the same as those re-
ported at the close of Fridays mar
ket.
