Cheaper eggs the coming week is the prediction of local merchants in touch with the general egg situation. It is believed, however, that the decline will not be great enough to make it possible for sales at anything like what ordi- narily called cheap, there not being storage eggs enough on hand to break the market. Receipts of the product of the hen- nery are steadily increasing day by day, according to reports, and deaiers hug: the increase the next few days will great enough to materially affect prices. Yesterday's reports showed there was only a trifle more than 40,000 cases of storage eggs in possession of packers throughout the country. Last year and the year before, it is stated, the storage egg ‘market failed to prove profitable, {and the result was that the quantity on hand this Winter was probably less than the demand. Dealers reported a price of 42 cents for current receipts yesterday, selected and hennery stock selling at less than 50 cents. It is the opinion of certain deal- ers that nothing short of blizzard weather is likely to run the prices up again during the remainder of the Winter season. Poultry prices also have been down this week, meat, fruit and vegetables remaining practically un- changed. B Fruits and Vegetables. “Florida seems to be going backward,” was the casual remark of a local fruit | and vegetable wholesale dealer, telling of the scarcity of fruits and vegetables from there this season. “We usually have watermelons from Florida early in January,” he added, “put not a melon has been received from there thus far this season.” Texas, Mexico and the Bahamas have come to the rescue, however, the merchant added, but supplies have been so small that high prices have ruled. Hothouse grapes from Belgium, the show fruit of the season, are not much in demand at $1.25 a pound. It is only a show fruit, was the comment of a dealer, not possessing anything like as good & flavor as that of grapes grown in this country. Another hothcuse product is the cu- cumber. Growers in Terre Haute, Ind., and Boston, Mass., are supplying the Jocal market at the high price of $5 a dozen, meaning a retail price of 50 cents apiece Tomatoes Brought From West. Hothouse tomatoes from the West, chiefly Ohio, also are being received, but, according to dealers, they meet no better demand than the garden toma- toes from Nascau. The Nassau to- matoes, received in New York and re- packed, were quoted this morning at $6 a crate of six pans, the pans contaiuing 6 pounds each. Inferior stock sold at lower prices. Asparagus, also grown in hothouses in the West, was quoted at $7.50 a dozen bunches this morning. The bunches are small, containing only 10 stalks. Brussels sprouts, received from New York and California, are in good de- mand and a top price of 40 was quoted on the best supplies from the West. Two-bushel baskets of peas from Mexico were quoted at $9.50, the whole- sale price, it is stated, meaning a re- tail price of about 40c a pound. String beans, product of Florida grow- ers, continue scare. They are more plentiful than they were a week ago, however, and dealers report they found ready sale at 6.50 a crate. Only moderate supplies of lettuce, celery, cabbage, spinach, and potatoes were received the past few days, re- ceipts of pepper, eggplant, beets and onjons being lLight. Dealers reported liberal receipts of caulifiower from Caii- fornia shippers that met a light de- mand, the market continuing weak. Honeydews from Argentina are being received in the local market. They run 6 and 7 to the crate and were sell- ing at $9 a crate this morning. Mod- erate supplies of Florida oranges and grapefruit and light receipts of tanger- ines and cranberries were reported. Fish Supplies Short. Municipal Fish Market this week has been without its usual large quantitics of fresh fish, due, according to reports, to high winds and otherwise rough weather than prevailed along the coast and on inland waters. High winds on Chesapeake Bay and tributarics proved a handicap with both fishermen and oystermen, more especially the fisher- men, making it difficult to operat: nets and tongs. In spite of adverse conditions, how:. ever, oystermen managed to keep local merchants supplied ~ with bivalves enough to meet a fairly good demand at prices that have prevailed the past several weeks. Selects continued to be offered at $250 a gallon, standards bringing $2.25. Shell stock this week sold at $2 a bushel. Most of the oysters received during the week were shucked at points on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, Shad from North Carolina waters led the market. Netters are not yet catch- ing them in great quantities, it is re- ported, and are getting what they term fairly good prices. » Fine Roe Shad on Sale. Roe shad, sald by dealers to be espe- clally fine, were on hand throughout the week, and their scarcity resulted in run- ning the prices of the roes up to 60 cents a pound, bucks bringing 456 and Jacks, 12 cents a pound. Shad are not yet plentiful enough for dealers to sell the roe separate. North Carolina fishermen also shipped small quantities of rockfish to the Lml market this weck, the fish finding ready sale at 35 cents, u high price under normal conditions. Spotted trout, also a product of North Carolina waters, were scarce at 25 cents, while herring from the same waters were In fairly good demand at 10 cents, Wholesulers recetved falrly large juantities of especially attractive shrimp from Florida shippers that found ready sale. Green shrimp were offered at 18 and cooked shrimp at 45 cents a_pound Bpanish mackerel, also from Florida, vere quoted at 18 cents yesterday, a de- clded advance over the price a week ago, River Shipments Scarce, Very few flsh were recelved from Chesapeuke Bay and Potomne River shippers this week, and practically no fresh fish were recelved from New York shippers. Bulmon and halibut, trozen, were quoted this morning at 20 cents cod wlso bringing that price, Filet of haddocis, —exceptionally seare quoted 28 cents, and smelts sold at centy w pound, Labsters were practically off the mar- | ket the past few days, and only frosen crabmeat from Hampton wis to be had Deep snow Uils morning had Mts effect upon early trading, many retailers find- g it difeult to gol through the hiewvy white conting on the streets.

BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN, Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 28—Irregular- ity developed at the close of the week in the Curb Market. The selling which made itself felt in some directions was set down as due largely to week end profit-taking. However, there was a number of individual strong spots. “The public utility group held the cen- ter of the stage. Electric Bond & Share opened down over a point and | a half, but recovered somewhat later. Lehigh Power Securities continued in | demand around 26'> and United Gas and Improvement was bid up fraction- ally. Evidently the reported objection of a group of independent holders of Lehigh Coal & Navigation stock to the directors’ agreement to exchange nold- ings of Lehigh Power Securities stock for National Power & Light was not regarded as important. United Light and Power class “A” was bid up into new high ground on belief that it was behind the market low-priced utilities. The o1l shares were featured by re- newed strength at new high prices in Buckeye Pipe Line and New York Transit. Eureka Pipe Line was bid up some 2 points and Southern Pipe Line more than a point. Their strength was based on the contention that this class of oil companies were not as much af- GERMAN BONDS AND STOCKS. By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
