ANOTHER DROP !N PRICE OF EGGS

THEY HAVE DROPPED TWO CENTS AND SELL FOR 18 CENTS A DOZEN. WERE 36 GENTS A YEAR AGO Price at Easter Looks Good to be the Cheapest Ever KnownSupply Unlimited. The low price and plentiful supply of eggs have been the freaks of the local market this winter, and at no time have prices been nearly so high as they were a year ago this winter. A few days ago another drop placed the price of eggs at 18 cents a dozen, a cent and a half each. A year ago today eggs were selling for 36 rents a dozen, according to the books of a prominent grocer, and the supfly was very poor. Continued cold weather was the cause of the high prices at that time, but this year weather has been exactly suited to the hens, and the supply of eggsls almost unlimited. If eggs continue to be cheap as they are at present, the price at Easter will be the lowest ever known. LOCALJARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. . (Paid by the Bee Hive Grocery.) Butter.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Influenced by Cables Wheat Held Steady; Buying Offset by Selling on Fine Weather Corn Market Weak. BRADSTREET'S VISIBLE. New York, February 20.

Corn Decrease, 143,000 bushels. Oats Decrease, 8SG.000 bushels. Chicago, February 21. Influenced by higher prices at Liverpool the wheat market here opened strong on : active buying by shorts. The May option was up ?4(ac to (akc. The market, however, failed to retain its initial firmness, prices yielding materially on free selling by pit traders. The May delivery lost all its early gain, the price dropped to 82 82y2c. The selling was due largely to continued mild weather in the United States. Liberal Corn Receipts. Liberal local receipts induced active selling of corn by provision interests, and resulted in a weak market. At the opening a fairly steady tone prevailed but it soon gave way under the selling pressure. May opened unchanged to Vkc higher and declined to Aiy-2.fi. A 10c decline in the price of live hogs caused an easier tone in provisions. Trading, however, was quiet. Chicago Grain and Provisions. (Furnished by O. G. Murray.)

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Hog Trade Active at Ten Cents Decline; Affected by Reports From Other Markets Cattle Little Changed. Indianapolis, Feb. 20. Receipts, 5,500 hogs, 1,500 cattle and 450 sheep against 4,SSS hogs, 1,520 cattle and 07 sheep a year ago. Receipts of hogs were hardly large enough to have caused any material change in prices, but the market was affected by unfavorable reports from other places. All buyers were in the field, but the demand was not urgent from any source and trading was onlv fairlv active at 10c decline. Late arrivals were difficult to sell at prevailing prices, and at the close a few loads remained unsold. Sales ranged from $6.10(S6:30, and the bulk of the supply sold at $6.20 6.25. Fair Run of Cattle. There was a fair Wednesday run of cattle. There was a little change in the situation as regards good to choice cows and heifers, and handyweight steers, but the less desirable butcher cattle were weaker and there was a continued poor demand for the good heavy steers. Comparatively few of the best cattle were sold until late in the day, and then at some concessions in prices as compared with yesterday. There was no change in the market for feeding stock; bulls and calves were steady. Sheep Receipts Larger. Receipts of sheep and lambs were larger than they have been for some time. There was a steady demand from local butchers, but no competition from outside sources. The market was about 15c lower. There were no top lambs in the offerings, and practically all of the supply sold at $6.75, with scattering sales at $5.50(5) 6.50. The best sheep brought $5.00, and other sales were at $3.00(a4.00.
