Heavy Enough to Lower
Some Prices.

further increase III the price @
eggs was predicted today by various
dealers unless the weather turns de
cideCily cooler. Although eggs have no
advanced in price for the past few day.
it was said that the exceptionally warn
weather has turned so many OF then
watery that wholesale dealers are losint
portion of their purchases. Eggs were
also reported as scarce.
The receipts from nearby sources o.
large supplies of tomatoes. cucumberE
and lettuce have obviated the necessity
for importation of these edibles anC
have lowered the prices TO a consider
able degree. Farmers in nearby Mary
land and Virginia are expected to sup
ply the demand for fresh vegetables fol
q month or more.
