PORK IS CHEAPER
IN CENTER MARKET
Warm Weather Increases
Egg Gambling Losses-stor-
age Stock on Sale.

Warmer weather conditions are be-
ing reflected in the local market. Not
only Is the hot weather affecting
the egg market Gambling losses have
increased and improper gathering Of
the product of the hennery,' it is
stated. has resulted in putting eggs
on the market not of the best quality.
Storage eggs have come to the
rescue of dealers the past few days
and dealers say they are in better
condition than some of the so-called
fresh stock. Prices of current re-
ceipts, hennery and fresh selected
stock today were the same as yester-
days prices and a price Of 3S cents
was quoted on the storage product.
Fresh pork loins were cheaper this
morning, a direct result of the in
creased temperature, dealers and con-
sumers not taking hold as they do in
cooler weather. Prices dropped from
36a3S to 33a35 cents. Prices Of other
meats were not affected.
