ACTIVITY INCREASED
!. IN PRODUCE MARKET
Business for Wednesday
Will Probably Be as Large
as Usually on Saturday.

Activity was shown in most lines
in the local wholesale markets to-
Cay. The approach Of Thanksgiving
Day has had the effect of causing re-
tailers to place orders for Wednesday
TO an extent about equal to their
usual preparations for a Saturday.
Supplies ordered were those, OF
course. which are always especially
wanted at this time.
Turkeys were the conspicuous
feature of the markets today, as was
TO be expected. Arrivals OF dressed
turkeys were heavy, but the market
was able to absorb nearly all receipts.
Commission merchants have had
'haulers' in Maryland and Virginia
awaiting orders to ship large amour s
Of turkeys 10 this market, and an
other large batch Of them is expected
tomorrow. Eggs were active. as
usual. with the best grade scarce.
Fruits and vegetables were steady.
Live stock showed some Improvement.
especially as to calves and lambs.
Game was only moderately active.
