PRODUCE MARKET
SHOWS DLLLNESS
WEEK, HOWEVER, WAS ONE OF
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
Firmness Is Maintained in All Glasses
and the Business Has Been
AbundantIy Satisfactory
to Dealers

The usual dulness characterized the
trading at Saturdays produce exchange
session. While weakness was evident in
several commodities there was no change
in quotations. the weakness being regarded
as only the result of a busy week.
AS a matter of fact the week has been
one of the greatest activity, and dealers
are more than satisfied with results. The
good movement has maintained prices and
prevented the accretion to storage stocks.
Eggs continue firm under normal receipts
and storage grades were strong because of
a deficiency in the supply.
Potatoes. under heavy receipts. continue
weak, but tho movement supports firmness.
Butter. under the biggest receipts OF the
week, was weak and a repetition of Satur-
days receipts would doubtless affect prices.
Poultry and fish are firm and vegetables
were stronger than usual. Fruits and ber
ries are unchanged.
