Moderate Arrivals Continued
Demand Feature of Trade
of Commission Men.

Moderate arrivals and a steady de-
mand were the features 81 the trading
in the local wholesale markets today.
The opening OF the week found an accu-
mutation of orders which moved sup
plies freely. and as receipts We're not
heavy. the moderate demand which pre-
vailed during the rest Of the day kept
prices firm.
Arrivals of eggs were liberal, but were
no more than equal to the demand. The
strictly fancy grades were stn scarce,
however, and these found ready mar
ket at prices a cent higher than those
quoted for nearbys- The market for
cheese was firm, and butter was also
steady.
Poultry was active and steady, with
prices about the same as those of Fri
day and Saturday. Turkeys were ac-
than recently. Calves and hogs were in
demand Lambs and sheep found an
improved, though not active, market
