Pretty Good" by Local
Wholesalers.
OTHER PRODUCTS MEDIUM
Slight Advance in Eggs Over Past
Weeks Quotations.

The Washington Wholesale market
for meats and poultry products
opened the week today with hardly
any change in price over last week.
Business in the beef line was re-
ported pretty good" but other
products experienced the usual Mon
day volume, which is not extraor-
dinary.
Good beef was selling around II
and is cents, cows IA to Is and
lambs about 80 to 33 cents. Pork
was reported 81 to % and shoulders
IL cents.
Eggs with jobbers ranged in price
from "a to 81 cents, the top price
being a slight advance over last
week. Butter, according to grade,
was selling from AZ to AZ cents.
Commission merchants in poultry
and live stock had nothing new in
their establishments on which to
base a market, and were patiently
awaiting the arrival of products
from nearby points. which seemed
destined to be light on account OF
the bad roads and inclement weather
