Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 19.-The
egg market rules steady in tone, espe-
cially on better grades of hennery whites
stock and receipts Of this sort being
| light the market cleans up readily at
full quotations Receipts continue ample
however, of ordinary current receipts
which are very hard to move out. Busi-
ness on the exchange only nominal as
most buyers prefer trading on the streets
where they can occasionally pick up
| bargains ON candled eggs. The market
closed today at 90 to % cents dozen
