Dairy Products.
Native and nearby eggs have been
liberal all week and fully ample for
all trade wants, but due principally 10
reports from other markets the local
egg market has remained firm all
week with values ranging from ~ TO
23& cents a dozen for strictly fresh
stock.
Cold storage operators are now
taking hold and this has helped TO
stimulate the market. The coming
week being Easter week, liberal ship

is critical at this season of the year
The market closed today at 23A cents
