 Local prices fer Connecticut New laid Fancy, Medium and Connecticut Special eggs were put into effect to- day by larger distributors of these grades. The two grades of full sized eggs were reduced Pc per dozen while New!aid Mediums were lower tv 1c than at the close of last week. The fact that New York egg prices declined last week from 5c to 6c per dozen for leading grades of whites and browns was believed to be large ly responsible for the price cut here this week for these leading grades of Connecticut eggs. Lower grades had not shown a similar decline, but Gf- ter the effect of the lower prices tor leaders becomes more evident there is a possibility that the others will show some price loss.
