KOOS.— Dnalpr*  ouKht  to  look  for  bettor  prices, 
with  cold  weather  and  llxht  receipts.  Trade,  how¬ 
ever,  Is  Irregular,  and  buyers  who  will  pay  extreme 
rales  are  few,  and  they  Insist  on  strictly  prime  con- 
dltiuti.  Much  of  the  Wusteru  stock  here  and  arriv- 
lOK  has  boon  held,  and  when  the  lower  price  la 
named,  buyers  at  once  become  susplclou*.  very  few

good,  small  lots  of  fresdt  laid.  Liuiud  eggs  uredllll,
