Extreme duIIness was again the chief
feature of today's trading on the whole
sale market Scarcely any Improvement
was shown in the way of increased re-
ceipts or demand and the volume Of
business transacted was slight. this

eggs and certain divisions Of the live
stock market. Better conditions Vert
evidenced in the vegetable and frult
markets.
Eggs sold at IS cents and there Is now
little doubt but the market viii finish
the week at that price. Veal calves
brought 81 and cents. All grades OF
poultry brought top prices, with ducks
ruling at IS cents.
The supply OF fish during the past few
days has Increased and this market IS
