EggS-Loins and Hams
Are Cheaper Today.


IN urices the past few days. De-
gnands for foodstufs are reported as
being only fair, or, as the dealers
stated II, the usual demand at this
time of the year prevails.
The pork market continues firm at
prices that are considered anything
but cheap, dealers stated, while beef,
veal and lamb are in less demand at
prices that have prevailed the past
week or 10 days
Dealers confidently expect a de
sided decrease in egg prices the next
few days unless blizzard weather
appears and are hoping for cheaper
poultry prices, high prices making
slow market.
