Agriculture Department Reports

Washington's wholesale commls-
sion market deviated very little rom
its condition of yesterday. Contin-
ued rains acted as a damper on ship
ping and receipts were rather light
Prices seemed satisfactory to "hat
buyers appeared, but there was no
heayy volume of business
The calf market stood at about 10
cents today and lambs were selling
from Is to IS cents, it was reported.
Hens had a low figure of about a quar-
ter, eggs stood firm at 25 cents and
chickens, it was understood, were
topped at As cents.
Batter and eggs with jobbers
moved unmolested and meats kept to
the beaten path.
