Cartoned egg movement improved in some quarters but was for the most part still only fair at best and demand was expected to continually improve with the advent of retail promo tional activity and holiday buying interest. Supplies were generally fully adequate for currant dealer interest. Breakers were unaggressive as finished product sales continued to drag and inventories were becoming a little uncomfortable at present levels. .73 .73 .73 .72 .72 .72 .67 .67 .67 .56 .56 .56 .48 .48 .48 .55 .55 .55 .73 .73 .71 .71 .69 .68 .68 .66 .66 .64 .59 .59 SI .57 .55 .21 .21 .21 .21 .21 .73 .73 .72 .72 .67 .67 .56 .55 .48 .48 .55 .55 KIRKWOOD HAY AUCTION Hay, Straw and Grain Auction EVERY TUESDAY 11:00 Located Rt. 472 5 mllas south of Quarryvlllo or 6 mllai north of Oxford cor ner of Rt. 472 and Nobla Road.
