Rensselaer dealers have been paying 18% to 19 cents per dozen for eggs this week, an unusually high price for this season of the year. However, the day of low prices for eggs has gone by, and the consumption of them is Increasing greatly among-the middle and poorer class of people in the cities, who have heretofore consumed a great amount of meat. The high price of the latter has caused an increased demand for eggs, and then people find that eggs at even 30 cents per dozen are cheaper eating than meat at the prevailing high prices, and are better, too.
