LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Slight changes in prices were noted
during the week. Butter advanced
one cent early in the week, but the
price of eggs remained stationary.
There was a tendency at lower
prices in the poultry market. dis
played following a "draggy" demand.
Live broilers dropped to the top price
of so cents a pound. and there was
a slight decrease all along the line.
The market was practically glutted
with Strawberries. forcing prices way
down, and enabling retailers to sell
them as low as 10 cents a quart.
Dealers reported the market as be-
ing in good condition at the close
or the week.
