CHEAPER POULTRY
AND MEATS HERE
Eggs End Week Higher
Good Supply of Vegetables
| From Nearby Farms.

Cheaper poultry and meats, higher
Aggs and reasonable prices for fruits
and vegetables were conditions re-
ported of the market this week. 1t
ia thought by dealers that buying
conditions probably will not improve
until there is decided change in
The weather.
The meat market was reported as
being especially draggy. Meat sup
plies were more than ample to sup
ply demands Pork prices have not
experienced much of a drop the past
two weeks, it is stated, possibly be-
cause the continued warm weather
has delayed killing of hogs on farms.
No scarcity of vegetables has been
reported Dealers say the continued
warm weather, despite the absence
of rain, has resulted in nearby truck
ers being able to continue to supply
much of the trade.
