Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE. Md. October 1.-The
egg market continues firm, with an up
ward tendency in prices under a good
movement coupled with generally light
receipts Of strictly fresh laid stock.
For this class of eggs there is ready
sale, often at q premium over quota
tiors. especially hennery whites, 80
pounds to the case and up, but the
average nearby current receipts are
moving slow, as the trade prefers West
ern refrigerated stock, which as . rule
is better graded The market shows
another advance Of 2 cents dozen for
hennery whites at 80 to 80 and "a and
Is for nearby firsts. but current re-
ceipts will not bring over % and %
and small pullet eggs are hard to move
at Is and l8.
Poultry Prices.
The live poultry market rules easy on
Spring chickens but f1rmer and a shade
higher on old hens, due to the extra
demand for heavy fat old fowl, pounds
and over, for the Jewish holidays, which
continue until October 20, and more
liberal shipments Of this class of stock
is advisable, but fowl under 4 pounds
not 50 desirable and hard to move.
Plymouth Rock Spring chickens are
bringing top prices Of Is and l6 cents
a pound, with mixed colored and Rhode
Island Reds selling mostly IA and is, but
stock under 3is pounds moves slow at
IL to IA, with Leghorns selling strictly

meet with ready sale at is and II, but

q shade higher at 8 to 10. Market for
old ducks dull and values show de-
cline at 10 to IL for stock weighing Al.
pounds and over. but black and mixed
colored ducks will not bring over and
10. and stock weighing under 4i2
