EGGPR|CES SLUMP

Warmer Weather Brings
Drop of 81/2 Cents a Dozen.
Butter Also Says.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. February 24.-Egg prices
tumbled 81 cents today, the sharpest
break in the market veteran traders
said they recalled.
Warmer weather, stimulating the
flow of eggs from country to market,
prompted the decline.
Spot eggs were selling around 22K
to 23l2 cents dozen, compared with
30 to 80 on Friday. Receipts totaled
1925 cases.
During the prolonged cold weather
egg prices scored spectacular gains be-
cause of greatly reduced production
and crippled transportation facilities
keeping market receipts at a mini
mum.
Butter prices also dropped back
rather sharply. Cash butter was to
-. cents lower, with extras selling
at 35la cents, compared with 81 cents
last week, the highest in six years.
NEW YORK, February "a R-
Egg quotations in the New York mar
ket declined from 2 to 3l2 cents a
dozen today, with standard and COM
mercial standard firsts down about 8
cents to 33 cents a dozen.
Today's decline brought the price
of standard and commercial standard
firsts down 6 cents a dozen from the
recent high of SO cents dozen 10
days ago.
Butter sagged IA to 2 cents a
pound, with the price of extras, 90
score. down Ia cents to 36 cents a
pound.
Trade circles said weakness in both
markets was attributable to expecta-
tions OF more liberal receipts on
warmer weather in the West.

Plan Plays

The Pepconians, dramatic club
of the Potomac Electric Power
Company, have selected as their
first play of the fall season 1.-THE
Bride Elect" by J. P. McMullen.
This offering can best be described
as a dramatic fricasee having
three plays within a play, touch
ing upon comedy, mystery and
tragedy, in the order named.
The above paragraph might
seem confusing to those who won
der how all of these phases of
the drama can be placed together
and still be logically connected,
but it's done very cleverly with
a pack of ordinary playing cards
and a little bit Of imagination on
the part of the audiences.
Casting for 1.-THE Bride Elect"
is now going on and rehearsals
will start in the near future for
the showing which will take place
in the latter part of October.
Other productions scheduled by
The Pepconians for the coming
year include such popular shows
