PRICES UNCHANGED
IN CENTER MARKET
Further Break in Egg Values
ForeSeen by Dealers. Due
to Heavy Receipts.

Egg receipts from nearby Maryland
and Virginia continue much heavier
than usual at this season, and dealers
believe the continued open Winter is
responsible for the early laying.
While prices this morning were SUB.
stantially the same as those reported
Yesterday. dealers anticipated further
decreased prices before the close OF
the week
Because of the break in the market,
fl is stated buyers are not taking hold
in large quantities. limiting supphes
to current demands. A low price OF
80 cents was quoted for current re-
ceipts this morning.
A recovery from the brief spell of
Geld weather in the vegetable market
il reported. Dealers have fairly large
supplies of numerous varieties of vege-
tables for the trade, and prices quoted
are what dealers regard as reasonable
TO cheap.
Dealers are still offering a few rab-
bits to the trade, supplies on hand at
the close of the season Monday, but
the supply is so small that prices are
not quoted.
