Produce Market Sbo1US
4 Remarkable FfrnneSS

With the remainder OF the holiday
season so small that the time left can
be measured in hours, the produce mar
ket shows a remarkable frmness.
Since a few days before Thanksgiving.
wholesale men have suspected that in
some parts Of the country there were
large quantities Of poultry being held
for a rising market. but as the weeks
went by no evidence Of such reserve ap-
peared, and now when the time during
which there Is an especially active de-
mand for poultry and fresh produce has
almost gone, no avalanche has come.
Had there been a big reserve put on
the market this last week, prices would
have fallen tremendously; but as things
are now, there win be no change until
about the middle of next week.
