There is very little to chronicle in the way of
changes or activity in the local markets.
Prices as a rule have downward tendency,
and trade in nearly all lines is exceedingly
quiet.
The quotations given below are Los Angeles
wholesale selling prices. The prices paid pro-
ducers rule little lower, due allowance being
made, of course. for wholesalers profits.
