VT uIniSucu Dy Lne SOHueCLlCuL Dt- pertinent of Agriculture-B. F. Storrs. Local Representatives) The native fresh egg market was reported steadier and stocks in re- tailers hands moving faster than a week az by many traders today. Two | reasons were given as principal causes for this change from a weak to steady market tone. One factor which was aiding sellers was a little | recovery of storage eggs from the extremely weak position of last month and prices higher than at that time by cent or two per dozen. An other development seen by some was the return or normal consumer de- mand following the holiday season late last month when these buyers were inclined to neglect eggs to some extent in favor of products wanted for the special seasonal meals. The opinion prevailed among many in touch with the eggs situL- tion that a steady market with few price changes may be expected for the remainder of this month and possibly well into next month. Latest potato reports from Maine shipping Joints do not show as firm situation as last week. Demand was reported slowing up and sales at IiitVo ON pCi iVV pouuuS loWcT LIldIl the middle of last week. Local trad ing was largely at unchanged prices.
 Receipts by wholesalers of south ern new crop vegetables were liberal and increasing. In addition to pro- ducts which were arriving freely earlier In the winter the list now includes increased supplies of new cabbage from Florida and Texas more liberal offerings of western ice berg lettuce and Bib Boston head type from Florida. and larger ar- rivals of new carrots and beets from California and Texas.
