WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

Despite a general tendency toward
lower prices this morning. the market
maintains a firm and steady tone. Fig
ures on green fruits and vegetables,
grain and dairy products remained
practically unchanged. An increase in
receipts of live poultry was offset by a
steady increase in sales, which kept
these prices, with few exceptions. where
they have been all the week. Dressed
poultry and live stock dropped from one
TO four points on all grades.
