LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Bad weather early this morning did
not have the effect of boosting egg
prices. Last week the egg market
showed an upward tendency and deal
ers said such condition was only tenn
porary. This morning dealers quot
ed the product at cents lower than
last weeks prices.
No change was reported in the con-
dition Of the poultry market. Chicken
prices probably will not drop the next
few weeks, dealers stated, the sup
ply being short and hardly equal to
demand.
Turkey prices this morning were
what they were at the close OF last
weeks market. The supply of the
king fowl Is holding up we'll. and
dealers have fairly large supplies in
storage.

TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. February 1s.-Increased
offerings and inadequate buying sup
port led to lower prices for wheat
today during the early dealings The
selling came chiefly from commission
houses and from pit traders. Enlarged
