LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Buying was not very brisk this
morning. 1t seldom is at this season.
partly due to so many persons being
out of the city and the usual de-
creased demand in hot weather.
"Shot to pieces" was the remark of
a poultry dealer. Spring chickens. in
slow demand, are cheaper, the top
price paid haulers being 35 cents. The
market on fowls is steady, receipts
gradually decreasing.
Not so strong was reported Of the
condition of the egg market. Supplies
are ample to meet all demands, and
prices are a trife lower.
