WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

A settling in the prices on grapes was
the most noticeable feature OF this
mornings local produce market. Ma
garas, Concords. Delawares, and Wor-
dens are coming in large quantities, and
very good quality. Despite the earh-
ness Of the season and the exceptional
quality grapes are selling at moderate
prices Receipts Of cheese are barely
sufficient to meet the heavy demand
and It is predicted that this commodity
will increase in price before the end of
the week Chickens, alive, are up
again to IS cents for prime stock. and
from the present outlook the quotations
given below on poultry are expected TO
hold for perhaps ten days With few
other exceptions today's prices are but
a duplicate Of yesterdays
These are the wholesale prices quoted
by local JODbers 10 the retailers. They
average a few points higher than prices
quoted by the producers TO the jobbers-
