BUSINESS IS ACTIVE
IN PRODUCE MARKET
Cool Weather Helps Nearly
All Lines c. Trade-EggS
in Demand.

Moderately active business marked the
close Of the week in the local produce
markets.
There was not the usual Saturday
dulluess. but on the other nand, there
was a much smaller volume Of trad
ing than on Friday. The coming Of
cool weather has helped most lines, and
as the receipts have not been so heavy
of late, prices have strengthened.
Strictly fresh eggs are in far less
supply than demand. A ready markeC
awaits supplies from nearby points at
30 cents. That figure was offered ZOE
1000 cases In one instance yesterday.
A large amount OF the eggs sold have
to be taken from the cold storage sup
ply.
Live stock has been quiet.
Fruits and vegetables have been
steaJy and moderately active. Poultry
has been in fair demand, with prices
Inclined to advance.
