The demand last week for every
thing that is handled in wholesale way

of fruits. vegetables. poultry and
everything else, except eggs, were
large. Even the rabbit business took
on large proportions.
Just what the rabbit had to do with

and other things caused decided slump
in the prices of poultry. Hens were
down considerably before the end or
the week and broilers followed suit
although the slump was not quite so
pronounced. Ducks, guineas and tur-
KEYS held their own very WELL owing
mainly to the fact that receipts OF these
lows were not near so large In com
parison as was receipt Of hens and
chickens. Ducks and guincas were but
slightly lower and turkeys were strong
at former quotations.
EGGS are very scarce The fresh
country variety is practically Off the

wholesalers are concerned Less than

wagons.
