Eastern Eg-fa Blffhef Here.
Prices on eastern eggs infthe local
market are again snowing an advance.
Some of the Front street handlers put
up the quotation lc a dosen this morning
and even at the advance are le below
the figures asked in some quarters.
. Eastern egsre are selling at all sorts of
prices In the local wholesale market at
this time with the top for storage stock
v ait 84a and the low point for the same
roods at 30c Those selling at the low
mark are showing every indication of
vhoving up their prices to meet those
of the more distant ones. The scarcity
of offerings In local ranch eggs Is one
' of the causes of the renewed activity
In eastern stock and the advancing
- prices therein. Along Front street the
arrivals of home goods have been very
scant during the pant few days and
, many, have been unable to purchase
fresh stock. While the price of our
best eggs remains at 40o a dosen the
Indications are that the market will do
better in this regard unless ttrtre should
be a change In the volume of arrivals.
Dressed Meats Are Tery linn.
There is a very firm tone in the local
market for dressed meats of all kinds.
Even hogs are showing a firmer tone
- -with the cooler weather and the better
demand therefrom, but as yet mere naa
been no change in prices because of the
m temporary weakness In the live hog
market. TJreaaed veal Is showing excel -
- lent quality for most arrivals and tire
market is firmer at xop prices.
" Chickens Kay. Do Better.
While prices are practically unchanged
from last week In the chicken market.
the indications are that a better de
mand will be shown during the re

Sweet potatoes are holding steady,

Honey Prloes Are Tery Firm.
- nfferina-a of honey In combs are very

with depressed conditions but now this
seems to have disappeared and while
neither market is ahowinar anv exten

a month or so ago. i
The better showlnsr In the wool mar
