Depressing Effect of Warm
Weather Continues.
Change Expected.

Dizziness prevailed in practically all
lines In the local wholesale markets
today. The recent period OF warm
weather had caused material falling
of IN the demand. and arrivals mean
while continued heavy. The more ia
vorable weather of this morning could
not create az Improvement Immediate
ly, but continued cool weather would.
it is thought, increase the demand
and give steadiness to prices.
Live poultry was heavy, recent re-
ceipts having been large. Even tur-
keys were dull Ducks and geese were
hardly active enough TO be quoted
Eggs were active and firm. being in
this respect an exception TO the rest
Of the market
There was little demand for cattle.
Sheep and lambs were scarcely quoted.
Some dealers have been holding hogs
and pigs for two weeks. waiting for
purchasers.
Buyers have been taking only enough
for their immediate needs, and arriv-
ais, therefore. have been moved but
slowly.
