past week, and prices generally firm. No radical
changes have taken place In the prices, and deal

that they must meet with loss in closing out
stocks. The trade Is generally dull. The supply
of eggs is abundant, and prices are inclined to ga

and prices firm. The live stock trade has been fair
with good state OF the market. Good veal calves
meet with brisk sales, and live hogs higher, with
corresponding stiffening in price OF pork.
