EGGS MARKED UP
AT CENTER MARKET
Spring Chickens High, With
Supplies Hardly Enough
to Meet Demands.

Spring chickens, always in demand
at this season, are not very plentiful.
Only moderate receipts are yet in

demands at prevailing high prices.
Live springers this morning were
quoted at SO and 20 cents g. pound.

the Easter holiday season
The egg market continues f1rrL
with tendency toward higher prices,
and dealers do not look for a cheaper
OF most commodities remain practi
cally unchanged
