MONDAY MARKET
TRADING IS LIGHT
Only Moderate Volume Dis
posed of, With Liberal
Receipts.

Trading was OF only moderate volume
in the local wholesale markets today
There was the usual Monday slowness
in getting things started. and the demand
for most lines of goods was light. Re
ceipts were more liberal than they were
during the latter part of last week, 50
that prices I'm most cases were not espe-
cially firm
Butter. cheese, and eggs were high
and steady. Strictly fresh eggs we're
conn .ratively scarce. The best grade
was readily sold at top quotations, but
underErades WIRE neglected, owing TO
The fact that they come In direct compe-
tition with storage eggs Choice cattle
were in Heht supply. with prices firm
Lambs werr in fair demand. The mar
ket for vegets bIes, especially potatoes
was weak The supply Was more than
equal TO the demand. Receipts Of apples
were heavier than they had been The
market was firm on fancy fruit.
