WHOLESALE MARKET.

~ OSO~
WHOLESALE MARKET.
Owing to the inclement weather,
receipts Of poultry have been very
light the past few days and prices
are correspondingly high. Only few
turkeys are being received. the sea-
SON for the king bird being about
over.
The egg market was q trifle f1rmer
today, but with no advance in price
Because it is too early to put eggs
In cold storage, it is stated, dealers
are disposing of receipts as fast as
they are demanded.
1t is probable that the storing OF
eggs will begin about April /. when
the supplies on the open market
Will be limited.
