MARKET FLOODED
/ WITH LIVE STOCK
Lamb and Veal Prices
Forced DoWn-Today's
: Review of Vegetables.

The wholesale commission market
today was flooded with live stock,
which condition, coupled with little
demand forced the price down sew
eral points. Dealers reported spring
lambs going as low as II cents, which
with some was the top price, and
calves from ! to 3 cents a pound.
The chicken market seemed the
most encouraging. What buying was
in evidence, went for large spring
chickens which We're quoted in a
range of from 40 to 4S cents, accord
ing TO size. Hens received little at
tention, so they continued their weak
condition and seemed to settle at about
23 cents.
Eggs, fresh and unheated, with the
commission merchants were about 20
cents dozen in wholesale lots. 1t
was said difficulty now is being en-
countered in getting unheated eggs
from the country.
Receipts generally were light.
Jobbers in butter and eggs reported
no change and the meat market was
carrying out its usual procedure OF
cleaning up for the week at steady
prices.
