BUTTER AND EGGS
FIRM IN MARKET
Trading About Normal Today
! Approaching Holiday of
Small Effect.

A slightly firmer condition of the
butter market was reported this
morning. Quotations from New York
showed an increase of fraction of q
cent a pound yesterday, but the
slight advance there has not affected
prices here.
Dealers also reported a firm condl
ton of the egg market, current re
ceipts bringing as much as "a cents
il is the opinion of dealers that the
CSg market will continue firm and
tina prices soon will gradually
advance.
Early morning trading was not as
brisk as dealers had expected. Trad
ing was about normal, however, the
approaching Fourth of July hol lay
season apparently not having affected
sales.
