LOWER EGG PRICES
EXPECTED SHORTLY
Large Shipments of Rabbits
Received From West and
Nearby States.

-
Continued open weather is ex-
pected to result in a break in the
egg market, a condition that local
dealers have been anticipating the
past two or three weeks. Egg prices
dropped cents in Chicago and / Il
cents in New York yesterday, ac-
cording to word received by local
dealers.
Slight breaks in the markets in
the two big egg centers have not
been reflected in the local market.
Local dealers feel confident of an
early break. however, unless severe
weather soon is experienced.
A reported continued firm condl-
ton of the butter market was re-
ported this morning. but no changes
in prices of poultry and numerous
other commodities were reported.
Numerous large shipments of rab-
bits have been received from the
West and Maryland and Virginia the
past few days, dealers reported, ana
cheaper prices rule.
