PRODUCE PRICES

Business in the produce market was
unusually light today. Although Tues
day is usually an or day. the return
OF hot weather and a consequent falling
of in the demand made the trading
quieter than Is usual for this time of
week. Arrivals in about ali lines wely
liberal, considerably exceeding the de
mand. An exception was in eggs. Re
ceipts Of the strictly high-grades were
light, and were quickly taken when
they did arrive. The greater part OF
eggs received in the market are some
what affected by the heat. The best
eggs command prices a little better than
the highest quoted below.
The market for live and dressed poul-
try was duh, and for livestock was also
very quiet. Fruit and vegetables are
the only lines moving freely, the former
being active daily. Maryland and Della
ware peaches. also apples, cantaloupes
and Southern pears, were the features
today.
