TRADING IS QUIET
IN LOCAL MARKET
Demand Small and Receipts
Light-Fresh Eggs
Still Active.

Quiet prevailed in the local wholesale
markets today. The inClement weather
kept many buyers away, and the de-
mand from the retailers was OF the
small volume that is usually to be ex-
pected on MonCay. Receipts were light
in most lines, however, so that prices
were not materially affected.
Eggs were the exception in the matter
OF activity. Strictly fresh eggs contin-
Ued scarce. and the demand for them
was heavy. Storage eggs were plentiful
Cattle was d.:l. but there was some
inquiry for Ian bs and hogs. Calves were
scarce and high, on account OF the
Maryland quarantine. Fruits and veSe-
tables were quiet and steady. Poultry
was also quiet and steady. A very
light supply OF quail was the feature Of
the market for game.
