Friday is always the best day of the week in
this line and, with favorable weather, trade
showed up better than any day this week.
Volume of trade. however, continues light.
The effect of money rightness is still felt AS
weather moderates. eggs are weaker. and top
price to-day is 24c per dozen. Poultry is scarce
and firm, with prices a shade higher. In the
line of dairy products there IS no change to
note with the exception of cheese, which has
moved up higher. Ohio cheese is scarce and
very firm at prices quoted. The supply of
tropical fruits is more than ample for all de-
mands. Florida oranges have seldom been in
as bountiful supply at this season of the year,
and markets are very slow. Apples and pota-
toes are slow at quotations. Consumption in
both lines is much dimished this season owing
to high prices.
