LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
A drop OF cents a dozen in the
price of eggs was the interesting
feature OF the market. Increased re-
ceipts from the nearby states caused
the decrease in price. Demands for
eggs will increase with the begin
ming Of the lenten season.
There is a big demand for chickens
and poultry. and limited receipts
keep the prices up. Turkeys are
more plentiful and cheaper. the prices
ranging from 35 to 40 cents, and
the demand is slow. Broilers are so
scarce and high that buyers are sub
stituting chickens.
Dealers reported the condition of
the meat market as being fair, and
decreased demands during the lenten
season will further affect it. The mar
ket on lambs is stronger than a week
ago. while the market on best cuts OF
beef is fair and steady.
