Some dealers quoted 22c yesterday, but the! majority opposed any advance, saying that it would at once shut off all shipping order: and that if the possible rain predicted by the Weather Bureau occurred the market would immediately weaken off again. . All dealers agreed, however, that if the demand were up | to the a continue: grades have been in the best demand lately. The situation in Eggs is similar to that in Butter. Receipts of ranch continue light and the cold weather helps the market, but pos- sible rains were predicted yesterday, and this had a tendency to check any upward move- ment. At .the same time the top quotation was ‘obtained in numerous instances. Some store Eggs came in and sold at 2Sc. but this deseription is no longer a factor in the market.
