MARKET
REMAINS ACTIVE
Saturday Orders Come to
Supplant the Thanks
giving Rush.

Considerable activity developed in the
dealings I'm the local wholesale markets
today. The placing OF orders by retail
eTs in preparation for their Saturday
rush cOunteracted the falling OF OF or
ders resulting from the passing OF
Thanksgiving Day. Receipts in most
lines were only about equal 10 the de-
mand. so that prices held fairly firm.
Strictly fresh eggs were scarce, as
usual, in comparison with the demand.
For freshly gathered eggs the market
ruled extremely firm. There is a sur
plus of medium and secondary quality
from day 20 day. OF which the trade is
dull and irregular, as these eggs come
I'm direct competition with storage eggs
and most buyers prefer them to under
grades of so-caued fresh.
Poultry wag IN fair demand today.
Cooler weather is needed. however. 10
improve the market and the quality.
Cattle were quiet. but lambs were in
good demand. Calves were very active.
Fruits were firm and vegetables steady,
except potatoes. Receipts OF these were
liberal, and the market weak.
