at31 and 81 Cents a Dozen.
Delayed by Weather.

Western dealers are storing eggs at
So and S5 cents, according to reports
reaching local dealers, Last year they
stored them at as much as 81 cents, 1t
IS stated and thousands of dollars
were lost.
Local dealers are storing their sur
plus supplies at 81 and 81 cents, not
yet having stored stock bought for
that purpose. Storing has been de.
laved later than usual because of the
cool weather, dealers say, eggs even
only slightly affected by frost being
unfit for that purpose.
Later in the month, it Is stated
local storing will begin in earnest.
Dealers hope cheaper prices will rule
by that time. Prices of most commodi.
ties reported yesterday remained I'm.
changed today.
