THE EGG MARKET.
LOW PRICE LEVEL. LONDON, Sept. 15. The Australian egg season opened under somewhat inauspicious conditions. Britain is having an unusually prolonged summer, with the temperature as high as in mid-June, and similar conditions prevail on the Continent, with the result that egg production is maintained at a very high rate. Consequently the market has been flooded with Home and Continental eggs. Some weak holders of the latter are selling at almost give-away prices. Thus Danish seventeens have been sold at as low as 10s 6d per 120 and the same weight of Lithuanian at Bs. In these conditions the price realised for Australian sixteens, 11s 6d, must be regarded as satisfactory.
