WHOLESALE MARKET
CONTINUES BRISK
Expected Failing Off After
Thanksgiving Fails to Put
in Appearance.

Dealings in the local wholesale mar
kets today are of good volume for a
Saturday. The expected falling off
after the holiday rush did not develop.
on the contrary, the rush that the re-
taners were under to provide for the
Thanksgiving Day demand made them
day late In preparing for their Satur-
day business. so that they placed their
weekend orders Friday and Saturday.
instead Of Thursday and Friday.
Poultry is In fair demand. but only
for choice chickens and turkeys. A
surplus OF fowls. chickens, and thin
turkeys remain after Thanksgiving
Day. The cattle market is easy, with
lambs and calves IN good demand.
Small and medium dressed hogs are
wanted. Receipts OF potatoes are lib
eral, and the market for them weak.
The market is steady on other vegeta-
bles. with supply equal TO demand.
TOdays Prices.
Wholesale prices were as follows, jobbers'
prices being a little higher
