BALTIMORE, Md, February 13.-The
egg market continues easy in sympathy
with other markets and values shew a
further decline of cent dozen. Re-
ceiptS are steadily increasing and con-
tinue more than ample for the demand,
which is limited and easily satisfied.
The trade generally prefers firsts ia
paying any premium for hennery whites
and consequently offers of this sort, un-
less very fancy, have to be sold at prices
of firsts to move out readily. The mar
ket closed today at l4h4 to l41s cents
a dozen for nearby firsts, with all mixed,
as we'll as pullet eggs, slow sale at ir-
regular prices.
With the exception of young chick
ems and old hens, which show decline,
the live poultry market holds generally
steady and values on other lines show
little change from last week. Owing
to the unreasonable warm weather pre-
vailing, however, demand is generally
light, especially for turkeys. ducks and
geese and eapens.

Business Notes

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 13-The Pc
treleum Heat e. Power Co. estimates
that less fuel has been used for heat
ing this Winter than in any year since
the war. Demand for fuel oil, coal and
coke in some sections dropped off as
much as so per cent as a result of the
mild weather, it is said.
A top price of $3.50 was paid for
silver fox skins at the concluding Ses-
sion of the Spring sale of the New York
Fur Auction Sales Co. The sale at
traeted keen bidding from dealers and
manufacturers. Selected skins showed
a rise from to 20 per cent.
Steadiness marked in the print cloth
market this week in spite of decrease
in the volume of business The de-
creased demand was attributed 10 the
desire of buyers to obtain a better line
on proposed production curtailment
plans before making large commitments.
1t is said that present indications point
to satisfactory agreement between mill

NEW YORK, February l3.-WhiIe q
more optimistic feeling prevailed in the
steel market at the end OF the week
the recent sharp falling of In demand
has been reflected by continued cur
tatlnent, with production remaining at
about % per cent OF capacity. The de-
crease in the demand for automobile
parts has remained feature, while a
smaller call has also been noted for
farm implements and structural steel
The hoped-for improvement In rail
buying does not appear to have mate
rialihed as yet, but prices have held
steady: A moderate demand IL re.
ported for pig iron At slightly lower
levels
Copper remained dull and easy. Gus.
tom smelters reduced asking prices
without stimulating domestic demand
while foreign buying was restricted by
. widening parity over easing local
quotations, A limited quantity of COP
per was offered for export on special
terms at "a cent below last week s
Tin was easier Buying was still
limited to small lots with occasional
pressure to sell prompt tin. A report
that one OF the largest pig tin con-
sumers In the country placed a large
order for tin plate had little apparent
effect.
Lead remained quiet. The demand
from consumers appears limited to
February requirements with any dis
position to anticipate needs checked
by eaSiness in other metals and re-
ports OF slight concessions availa bic
in Western markets,
Zine rallied following the recent de-
cline owing to an advance in the price
OF Ahe concentrates, but 4 moderate
demand for February and March need,
was supplied and the advance was not
fully maintained.
Antimony was quiet Recent sharp
advances were followed by partial re-
actions. Consumers Withdrew from the
market and offerings from the Far East
increased slightly.
