LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

A1VN oSOAN
LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Market on tu; keys is weak and ir-
regular. Much heavier receipts than
were anticipated served to overstock
the market. and much lower prices
prevail. The market is in bad shape.
so far as dealers are concerned. They
nope, however, that they will be able
u close out supplies before tomor-
row night.
/ Increased receipts and lower prices
of turkeys affected other branches of
the poultry market, decreasing the
demand for chickens and ducks.
The meat market also continues
slow and draggy. but a reaction is
expected after the holiday season;
Celery. cranberries and all fruits and
vegetables in demand for the holiday
season are plentiful.
