I ana holders would be glad to dispose
OF their supplies before the run of
southern eggs starts. In the butter
/ market, trade was without feature and
prices showed no change to speak of

and live fowls were cleaned I'D at

! Apple prices are doing a little better
GOOD sized apples are scarce while
buyers seem TO want this kind. Quo
