Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 1.-Shippers
are again advised not to ship live
poultry or perishable goods to arrive
here Monday or Tuesday both days
being legal holidays and consequently
no outlet. Shipments should be timed
to reach here Wednesday morning, and
as the market is expected to be fairly
well cleaned out of these lines, lib
eral shipments are advisable.
The egg market, In sympathy with
other leading markets, has taken on
steady to firmer tone, and while values
show no advance, prices are well main
tanned under generally light receipts
from all sections. With the warmer
weather prevailing the past week most
arrivals are beginning to show some
loss under the candle, and this char
acter Of stock Is slow to find favor, as
buyers are very critical as to quality
at this time Of the year. Prompt ship
ments are advisable to realize best
results. The market closed today at
II and 18 cents a dozen for hennery
whites IS pounds and up, IS and 16
for nearby firsts and 13 and 131s for
current receipts.
