EGGS ARE LOWER
IN CENTER MARKET
Hennery Stock Demand Not
So Good-Easier Condition
in Fowl Trade.

A slightly easier condition of the
egg market was reported this morn
ing, 80 cents being the lowest price
quoted for current receipts. Hennery
eggs, usually sold at prices far ahead
of current receipts, and fresh selected
are not bringing such prices at this
time, dealers report.
At other seasons of the year, espe-
cially when ii is difficult to get real
fresh stock, it is stated, the hennery
stock is in greater demand. Dealers
say there is no difficulty experienced
getting fresh eggs at this season OF
the year, and consumers are unWilllng
to pay advanced prices for the hennery
stock.
Poultry dealers reported an easier
condition of the market on fowls this
morning There was no scarcity OF
any kind of poultry, dealers reported,
and trading this morning was about
as quiet as usual on Mondays.
