MARKET COMMENT: A general decline In the price of • gg?
and butter was the most interesting thing that S onfro ” *J"
the housewife this morning The warm weather of the past
week has set the hena in the country to laying which has
resulted In the produce markets being almost flooded witn
fresh eggs and the storage article being tabooed b> tne
trade. In the wholesale markets fresh eggs declined to as
low as 26 cents per dozen and storage eggs as low as 19 cents
today. Retail selling prices for fresh eggs should be not over
l 30 vents per dozen. Some merchants who have high-prlcen
’ stock on hand are quoting supplies at 35c and as high ns 4oc
per dozen. Butter is wholesaling today at 17 to 20 cents p*r
pound for country and 27c to 2«c for creamery grades. The re-
tail prlcea should be not over 25c for country butter nor 80c
for ordinary creamcry. Private brands of creamery are selling
