Trading More Active on
Wholesale Market Than
Any Day in Week.

Trading was the most active Of the
week in the local wholesale markets
today. Orders from the retailers were
heavier than usual for even a Thurs
day. Prices IN most lines remained
firm, and in some instances We're ad-
vanced slightly.
The market for veal calves was
strong. and prices steady. The recent
liberal arrival were taken earlier in
the week, an as the demand remained
large there was no weakening Of
prices. Lambs were in better de-
mand. Sheep We're also more active.
Cattle were still quiet, however, al
though not so dull as a day or two
ago.
Eggs had their usual very active
market Supplies of good grades,
even strictly fancy, were more bOer-
al. Best grades remained at % cents,
but southwestern Virginia, Tennessee,
and North Carolina were quoted by
several dealers at q cents, a higher
figure than eggs from those localities
had reached for several weeks.
Fruits and vegetables were with
out particular feature, except in soft
fruits, which were in great demand
and light supply.
