BUTTER AND EGGS NORMAL
Review of Vegetables Made by De-
partment Bureau.

The Washington wholesale market
for meats, dairy products and live
stock closed fair to good today, the
best showing having been made in
the fresh meat line. Dealers hooks
were virtually clean. the sawdust was
off the floor and they were ready
for Mondays business. Prices in this
line held firm throughout the week.
The commission men who had re-
ported fair business and sometimes
none at all during the week were
engaged partly in retailing and
wholesalinE their commodities. The
market experienced some activity
early today. but there were still some
goods on hand that refused to move,
the trend of buying being against
them
Jobbers in eggs and butter re-
ported no change in price. but again
indicated that slight advance in
butter Monday would be felt.
