WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

Prices on live and dressed poultry ana
grain were down again this morning TO
lower figures than they have been for
several weeks.
Moderate receipts. a quiet demand and
specuiations, together with the unsettled
conditions In the money market are SAID
TO have been the cause of this morn
ms slump in prices. and it is prophesied
that a bigger drop will come before the
end Of the week, in all departments.
Cranberries and ounces began to come
in good quantities this morning. and, LOT
this early in the season, We're sold at
exceptionally moderate prices.
Grape-fruits and oranges arrived IN
small shipments, and gave promise or
being plentiful this season at fair hg-
ures. It viii be impossible to quote
prices on these commodities before
another week as the season Is sull too
early.
These are the wholesale prices quoted
by local jobbers to the retailers They
average a few points higher than prices
quoted by the producers TO the jobbers.
