three products on the Washington
wholesale market were predicted by
dealers today. These products are
fish, butter and bananas. The price
live hens will command Monday could
not be determined. They commanded
about 81 cents the first of this week
and today were generally quoted at
% to "a cents a pound. The market
was still we'll supplied and business
was reported good.
Fresh meats and smoked meats
were well cleaned out today.
EGGS, by commission merchants,
were priced around the 22-cent fig
ure. Print butter was little weaker
and bananas were the same as yester-
day. In regard TO the latter product
it was stated four steamers are due
in2Baltimore, and the bananas will be
distributed within a small radius of
that city. A lower market therefore
was anticipated
