EGGS AND BUTTER
. DUE TO TAKE DROP
Eggs Still 20 Cents Per
| Dozen Higher Than Last
D. Year in January.

Easier, with a tendency toward
over prices, was reported OF the
condition OF the egg market this
morning. Dealers said eggs were
approximately 20 cents higher than
this time a year ago. Time for
prices to come down has arrived"
remarked a dealer, and 1t is natural
10 expect they will come down. Low
er prices in other markets are re-
ported"
There has not been a heavy in
crease in receipts OF eggs the past few
days, but prices have dropped, today's
prices being So and 80 for fresh
selected candled stock. while average
receipts were quoted at 56 and 81.
A slight increase in butter prices
in the New York market Saturday
has not affected the local market,
and dealers anticipate no increase
here. Prices, they say, must neces-
sarily come down. There Is plenty
storage butter on hand, dealers state,
but II Is getting old and not so good.
