PRICES ON PRODUCTS DROP.
Market Conditions Return to Normal
as Strike Likelihood Lessons.

Commit sSion men on street and
Louisiana avenue, between 9th and 10th
streets, this morning report market
conditions rapidly returning to normal.
following the general understanding
that the railroad strike would be pre-
vented The relief from fear of short
age and the rushing to the market
of uantities of Irish potatoes from the
nearby farms. caused a sharp reaction
in prices on that commodity. and by
noon today good potatoes could be
bought at So barrel. and $3.50 was
the highest price being asked. This
is a drop in price of 81 q barrel from
the figures of yesterday, and repre-
sents about the price potatoes will
bring until the Maine crop begins to
come in shortly. The poultry market
also shows lower prices today, live hens
being l cent cheaper than yesterday,
live chickens from 10 4 cents cheap
er and dressed chickens 2 cents cheap
er. The only advance TO be noted on
the wholesale market is on lambs,
which are scarce and in demand at
q half cent higher on the pound.
