' 7;-,-?j Prices Are Generally Reduced by F. O. B. Buyers With Poor Quality Caus ing Concern Some Are Buying With the' Loss Off. ? Egg market is weaker and lower here with f. o. b. offers -eat to the country around 41 42c a dozen. 8ome are quoting tbe lower price for strripliea with rota and cracks out while others are quoting for cunuif leceipta just as they are. Fact or the matter Is that with so much poor stock coming fomsrd as- the result of holding bark by the country for higher prices, f. o. b. buyers who purchased current arrivals recently, have suffered some severe losses. .Receipts of eggs recently have been snore 'than ample for all current requirement of the local trade and accumulations are shown. Additional stocks have beeli moved into storage but there appears to ba a lack of special desire among the leading operators to purchase at the moment. In fact some of the big buyers of late are today sending out no card on prices. Corn and Oats Up , In Early. Trading By Joseph" F. Prttchard Chicago, June 23. (L N. 8.) There was a big broad trade in corn and closing prices were 'uegular but mainly higher. Tbe December, fu ture waa in best demand and strongest at ad lacceaof 84c. This month was taken freely by investors and also bought liberally by L,rta. September was np 2 2 He, June gained lc, while July waa unchanged to He lower. Oata were unchanged to H 4c lower. Provisions were 1025e lower. Chieago. June 2 a (L N. S. ) Unexpected buying by commission houses and the absence of selling pressure were responsible for aa advance of from H to 2 cent in opening corn prices today. Trade in general waa badly mixed. Oats 'opened unchanged to H cents higher. The market waa dull and unfeatured. Trade waa light. Provisions opened a trifle higher. Local commission houses sold sparingly against a mod erate demand.
