region continued light and everything on the
list was either firm at the previously quoted
rates or higher, there being some active buying

toes sold at a higher range Frost damaged
lots of the latter were still offered at soc a

as much as received on the preceding day. The
arrivals proved sufficient. however. most buy
ers figured that the demand for the birds
would be limited on account of today being

receivers attempted to put the market up to
30c pound. but buyers refused to pay more

supplies needed at 2J@27c. The days business
