WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

Prices were decidedly better in the
local product market this morning and
the general tone was stronger than II
has been for several days. The small
drop In figures yesterday was more than
made up for by tOday's changes. Lib
eral receipts in all departments and a
steady increase IN sales during the lat
ter hours of the day caused general
satisfaction among merchants.
