IN PRODUCE MARKET
Slight Improvement Noted
Today Over Last Weeks
Dizziness.

A slight Improvement was 10 be noted
today over the dullness that prevailed
during tic greater part of last weel,
in the local wholesale markets. Receipts
of most lines were fairly liberal, bat
the demand was q little greater than
it had been and prices held firm
Poultry showed a better tone. Small
chickens We re the most active but tuT-
keys resumed some.Of the activity thar
they exhibited couple OF weeks ago
II is expected that from now on unul
the first OF the year the Ieraand for tur-
keys will increase gradually. Cattle
were still dull, but veal calves and
hogs found a market in small lots.
Fruits and vegetables were quiet and
steady, supply being about equal 20
the demand. The best grade OF eggs
vas in great demand. bat the marke;
was Glow for the others. Butter and
cheese were quiet.
