WHOLESALE MARKET.

WHOLESALE MARKET.
Owing to inability to move trains
IN the west because of the storm, re-
ceipts of meat are small. Scarcity of
meat has resulted in an increase of
from 81 to So hundred in beef prices.
The trouble is regarded as only tenn
porary. however. and increased re:
ceipts are expected shortly.
Lambs are higher than last week
and receipts light. The same condi-
tion applies to meats generally, but
dealers hope for changed conditions
before the close of the week.
