MARKET FURRY
Prices Even Trimmed Down
on Friday Eggs and
Butter.

There was the usual Iet-up today IN
the local wholesale markets that fol-
lows the Thursday rush each week.
The lessened activity neglected none Of
the lines.
Eggs and butter were In about as
great demand yesterday, bat slightly
larger supplies sent the price of
shade. The quality OF the receipts for
eggs has improved since the opening OF
the week, but strictly fancy nearbys are
still rather scarce.
Sheep and lambs were in fair demand.
Cattle were dull, but the market has
improved considerably since the dull
season for cattle closed a few weeks
ago. There has been fair inquiry for
lightweight pork. Calves were in good
demand, with the usual plentiful supply.
Poultry was very active. both live ana
dressed. Prices remained steady at
about the figures prevailing yesterday.
