There has been an increase of cents
pound in the butter market the
past few days and a 2-cent increase
in egg prices.
Dealers this morning expressed the
belief that prices will so higher be-
fore the close of the weeks market.
1t Is said there is little likelihood OF
cheaper prices before Christmas un-
less the output of storage eggs is so
great that 1t will force a decrease IN
the price of the fresh stock.

store packed at S5. Fancy, selected.
candled eggs were quoted at 40 and
AZ cents, average receipts at 40 and
