Good Demand for Chicken
Today-Butter and Eggs
Remain Steady.

There is a steady demand for
Spring chickens, many. week end
purchasers wanting additional sup
plies for their outings. Early morn
Ing buyers today made their usual
increased demands. but dealers were
able to supply all patrons Dealers
report the receipt of only a fairly
good supply of large Spring chickens,
while smaller chickens. not much in
demand, are more plentiful and
cheaper.
1t is yet too early for dealers to
forecast the probable conditions of
the poultry market for the 4th of
July holiday season, when the de-
mand is much greater than usual.
Persons familiar with the situation
believe there will be practically no
change in prices for the approaching
holiday. A decrease in the price of
veal was practically the only reduc-
tion in the price of meats reported
this week. Lamb prices were re-
condition of the market, but a re-
action restored the former prices this
week.
