MINNEAPOLIS MARKET

list Is without price change. The feeling is
a trlne easy ON all grades owing to the

quotations, with offerings of this grade light
Medium grade diaries rule dull, with some
accumulation reported. Roll and print is in
fair request. Ladies are steady. Fresh
sweet packing stock Is in occasional request
Strictly fresh eggs are in good demand at
I6HsV!fc The inside figure is being freely
paid by jobbers, while retailers are in the
market at tic. Fresh held stock is in heavy
supply and easy at quotations. Storage eggs
are dull. Dressed turkeys are in fair de-
mand at unchanged quotations Principal
handlers looked forward to a large volume
OF business than has at present been DONE
Chickens are in moderate demand. Ducks
and geese are quiet.
