LOCAL WHaLEsALE MANKET.


A substantial decrease in the price OF
butter was an interesting feature OF the
weeks market. Butter prices usually
show decline at this season. dealers
state, and further decreases are ex-
pected in the near future.
The egg market remained firm
throughout the week, with an upward
tendency, and dealers think there will
be no decrease in the near futur due
to the large quantities being put in
storage.
Meat prices did not change much dur
ing the week. There are ample sup
plies of meats of all kinds and the de-
mand is good. With the exception OF
cheap, there were very little changes in
fruit and vegetable prices.
