EGGS ARE LOWER
IN LOCAL MARKET
Larger Receipts and Slower
Demand Cause Drop.
Fowl Cheaper.

Dealers reported the egg market
this morning as being a trife easier,
and lower prices ruled. Changed con-
dtions resulted from increased re-
ceipts and slower demands. 1t is
probable that the demand will in
crease for the Easter holiday season,
however. but the dealers see no rea-
son why the increased demand should
increase prices.
Price of live fowls, in great demand
because OF the Hebrew holiday sea-
son. also took slight drop today.

cents. Today the price quoted was 30.
