REPORT ON DAIRY PRICES
Review of Vegetables by Depart
ment Bureau Inspectors.

A slight increase in poultry re-
ceipts today over yesterday, coupled
with little demand. had a weakening
tendency on the wholesale live fowl
market but prices remained about
the same yesterday. Other prod
ucts of commission merchants in the
dairy line also remained steady in
price.
Jobbers in butter and eggs had no
change in their market to report
and dealers in meats also declared
the market was about the same as
Yesterday.
