Egg1 prices continued to shoot the
chutes to lower levels during the

cents a dozen yesterday, and the price
today will be 24 cents a dozen.- The
price may drop as low as 22 cents

Eastman, public marketmaster.
Eggs in Portland markets come in
large quantities from farms near the
city, and the plentiful supply of
fresh eggs has naturally forced down
prices. Storage activities have not
started yet in any important degree.
When large supplies of eggs are di
verted from markets to storage,
prices will rise again. The small cost
of eggs, which may be prepared In
many delicious ways, has brought m
great demand by housewives for this

for meat in many households.
