BALTIMORE, Md, August 6.-T'he
egg market has taken on a decidedly
firmer tone the past week and values
show an increase of a cent or two
dozen on all lines. The continued hot
weather however, has been against any
active movement as the general run OF
nearby receipts when candled in many
instances show a large percentage of
rotten as we'll as rollers, causing con-
siderable loss. This class of eggs con-
tinues TO form the bulk Of the receipts
and are very hard to move out, al
though it is no trouble to place eggs
that show fresh laid quality, often at a
premium in price. Business on the ex-
change nominal as most buyers are
only taking on immediate wants. The
market closed today at II to 20 cents
a dozen for hennery white first, SIS
pounds to the case and up, Is for near
by firStS and IA and Is for current re-
ceipts.
Under liberal receipts from all sec
tionS the live poultry market rules gen.
orally easy and values on all lines show
a slight decline. Colored springerS,
when large and fat, move out readily,
although the market is loaded with
small stock under 2 pounds which is
hard to move even at discounts. Stock
averaging pounds and over find ready
sale at 18 to 20 cents pound and II
to II for 2 to 8 Founders. White leg
horns In liberal supply and only stock
weighing 21a pounds and over attracts
attention at 13 and IA, with all stock
under 212 pounds hard to move at IL
and r. Rhode Island reds especially
hard to place and are selling to 8
cents pound under quotations. De
mand for old hens fair, but only stock
weighing 3l2 pounds and over is wanted
at II to IS, with leghorns bringing 10
and II and all poor, light fowl as well
as old roosters generally neglected at
8 and 8. Ducks continue in liberal re-
ceipt and under only slow demand
for full-feathered stock. The market is
dull and inactive at 10 to IA for ducks
weighing Az pounds and over, with
smaller not wanted at any price. Pig
cons also in ample receipt for the de-
mand, which is limited, at Is to 20
pair for young and 20 a pair for old.

Live Stock Market.
The live cattle market on the wharVeS
continues dull and inactive under only
a limited demand, which is centered on
first-quality stock. Select, nanny
weight veal calves, $50 to ITS pounds,
however, are in light receipt and meet
with ready sale, but overweight, rougn
or common, thin calves are slow sale
and hard to move. Spring lambs, % To
