PRODUCE MARKET
REMAINS STEADY

Although a decided increase has been
recorded in cOnsumptive demand. but
ter will not sell any higher than thirty
two cents this week. This has been de-
cided ny the Illinois commission, and
means that the market is apt TO be un-
usually firm at that price. Undergrades
are dun but fancy stock is in heavy
demand
With unchanging conditions in supply
or demand, the price on eggs also re-
mained the same today. If anything,
more sales were made around the IS
cent mark than at 1872 cents. Another
advance in price would coca sion very
little surprise.
The market was heavily supplied with
veal calves. The result was TO weaken
the quotation, although sone sales were
made on extra quality al 9 cents. Gen
orally speaking, the quotation on prime
stock did not go over 81 cents.
In the poultry market improvement
was shown in the supply Of live hens.
Vegetables were in good demand and
sold at last weeks prices.
