Prices Likely sto' Acknowledgement
Firmness Noticeable.

The recent hot spell had the effect of
somewhat weakening the local wholesale
produce market. but prices today are not
only firmer, but also give indication of. an
advance. Butter Is firm and has advanced
about half n cent a pound over last weekis
quotations, and az advance of l cent or so
may be looked for during the coming week.
Cheese remains as last quoted, both to
price and condition, while eggs have. fallen
a fraction of 1 cent dozen. Poultry Is in
good demand and is somewhat irmer, indi-
cations OF an advance not being lacking.
