IN PRODUCE MARKET
Demand Is Larger, But Re-
ceipts Are Not More
Liberal.

Some improvement was shown in the
dealings In the local wholesale markets
today over those o. yesterday. The mid
week demand was larger, as had been
expected, and as receipts were not cor
respOndingly more liberal the business
done was fairly active, with prices for
the most part firm
The live stock market was especially
strong. No live stock is being permitted
TO enter the District from Maryland, and
the supplies from the Virginia farmers
are inadequate. These farmers are
profting considerably from the situa-
ton, but local buyers are paying higher
prices than for months. Calves were
extremely active today. and such sup
ply OF them as existed was readily
marketed. Poultry was in fair demand.
Vegetables were rather quiet but
steady.

Iceland "Wizards" Who Used to Sell
