EGG PRICE STEADY
!. IN LOCAL MARKET
Poultry Receipts Continue
Slow, With No Reduction.
Meats Unchanged.

No. further drop in the price of eggs
was reporte ed today. It is the belief of
dealers that the low mark of % cents
will continue several days. 1t is bare
ly possible that prices will drop an
other cent o. two, dealers state, but
shardly probable.
Packers will begin putting away
eggs the first of the coming month for
next Winters trade. They would glad
ly begin storing them at prevalhng
prices, it Is stated, were II not 1or
fear they are not yet free from frost.
Poultry receipts continue SLOW ana
prices high: Dealers see no prospects
for cheaper prices the next few DAYS.
