was dull I'm the other classes, with the
exception OF turkeys. which sold strong.
Practically no changes we're recorded

liberal receipts. nilder weather and
buyers operating cautiously, but little
change is looked for In L is market for
several days. Sales we're made as low
as IS cents on ucarbys. although the
average quotation prevailed around the
1g cent mark.
Since Monday the vegetable market
has been characterized by 6 steady de-
cline, a lowering of quotation being eX-
perienced in some commodity every day
of tie week. Today sweet potatoes
dropped % cents, and turnips expert
enced an equal reduction Trading in
vegetables is active. bit a liberal supply
is responsible for the weakening Of
prices.
