BUSINESS LNENS UP
IN PRODUCE MARKET
Trading Not of Large Vol
ume, But Prices Held Firm.
Game in Demand.

Z slight improvement was shown in
the dealings in the local wholesale mar
kets today. Business was not Of large
volume, but was considerably more ac-
tive than it was yesterday.
Poultry was in good demand, with
prices steady. Receipts were liberal,
but We're well taken. Turkeys, both
live and dressed, were wanted espe-
ciaIly. Small chickens were in more de
mand than large. Fruits We're rather
quiet, but prices held firm. Apples
showed a tendency to advance. Pears
are still being moved readily. Some
peaches are being sold, but the season
is nearly over Vegetables were quiet
and steady. Live stock was duh, eX-
cept for a light demand for calves and
hogs. Game was again active. and as
the expected increased supplies did not
arrive, prices were firm.
