RECEIPTS LIGHT
AND TRADE GODD
Business Active, Cattle
Scarce, Butter Sells
Very Readily.

Business was active In the local whole
sale markets today. Receipts we're not
heavy. and most classes OF goods were
moved readily. Poultry, livestock, eggs,
and butter were especially firm as TO
price.
The heavy accumulation OF poultry
for the Thanksgiving market has been
entirely sold out, and on account OF
light receipts since then prices have
advanced somewhat Choice cattle
were In light supply and prices slight
" higher Lambs were wanted Hogs
were steady, and calves in great de
mand.
Prices Of all grades OF butter were
firm. Fancy fresh butter is in very
light supply, and sells readily on ar
rival.
Fruits and vegetables were only mod
erately active. Receipts Of potatoes
were liberal, and market weak. The
market was steady on other vegetables
