Newlaid grade egg prices were sharply reduced by leading distrib- utors of this grade in the state ef- fective Monday. The large size Newlaid Fancy grade price was re- duced four cents per dozen to re- tailers, making the new wholesale price B cents dozen and .he medium size of the same quality were also reduced four cents, down to 30 cents, per dozen. This price mark down was in line with the general market tone and price level. Western eggs and native fresh eggs sold at the Conencticut auctions last week were radically lower than previously.
 Liberal offerings of low priced apples from the west and south, re- gently in Connecticut have caused a weaker and lower market for higher priced native apples. Most reports indicate that the native apples of cooking grade, priced about even with the low priced ap- pies brought in from other states, have not felt the effects of this sit- uation as much as the higher priced offerings. Mcintosh of high quality have suffered from this competition most it is reported. Baldwins of medium quality have continued to sell we'll. Last week 36 carloads of apples were received at the four larger markets of Con- necticut, 19 coming from Washing ton state and 15 from Virginia and nearby states.
 Shipments of certified seed pota- toes from Maine at the close of last week were ahead of the pre- vious three years at the same date by about 300 to 750 cars. This year 1861 had been shipped March g., last year 1,465, two years ago. 1,113, and in 1882 at the same date l. 204 carloads. The total for the sea- son the last three years has been 2,510, 2,087 and 2,263 respectively.
 Onions continued very firm and high priced as this week opened and cabbage was holding fully steady at prices advanced to last week.
