Open Weather Increases
Egg Production-Prices Off
Chicago and New York Butter
Market Slightly Weakens-
Poultry Demand Unsteady

With more open weather, larg-
er receipts have brought about
rapid and severe decline in QUOTA,
tions on fresh eggs at the leading
markets of the country. Today,
the Chicago market on fresh firsts
+ ,oted at 347s to IS cents and
the New York egg market AZ to
43 cents. This is decline of 61a
to &c a dozen at Chicago, while ait
New York there was decline of
approximately &c dozen as COM
pared with last. Mondays quota
tions.
The fine open weather prevail
ing throughout producing CEN
tiers as we'll as increase in the
area now producing eggs forecasts
continued increase in receipts. I'm
doubtedly, the present egg values
will attract more users and we
suppose the declines will not be so
severe or rapid from now on.
The butter market has also
shown somewhat easier tendency,
although the declines have. been
moderate. Today, 80 score Stand
ards are quoted at At cents Chi
cago, which is cent lower than
the corresponding day last week,
and go score Extras are quoted at
| 47h cents, decline of 1 cent dur
ing the week. New York Extras
are quoted at 47A to 471s, which
Ms net decline of 1 " cents from
prices prevailing just one week
ago. The declines in butter values
are due to increase in production
over quite a wide area and a some
what lessened demand, which can
possibly be attributed DO some
change in the spending habits of
the buyers in the country, follow
| ing the Christmas holidays.
Foreign butter has not been
much of a factor in the past week,
as at the moment London prices
are really too high for further i'm
portation.
i Poultry receipts are about norm
al for this season Of the year. The
strike the previous week in New
York among live poultry handlers
! somewhat disturbed the distribu-
tive channel and the trade felt the
j full effect of conditions which pre-
vailed during the previous week. IT
would appear that values will fuc-
tuate within narrow range OF
present quotations.
Receipts of dressed poultry were
lighter last week than for some
weeks past, with somewhat higher
| prices prevailing on fresh fowl
while fresh chickens, which are
mostly stays, were neglected.
The stocks of frozen poultry are
i much heavier than for some years
past.-Produce Review, Swift &
