CHEESE ADVANCES
|NLOCAL MARKET
Other Wholesale Prices Are
Steady--Receipts Still
Greatly Limited.

Clear and warmer weather will be
heartily welcomed by market dealers
who realize that improved road con-
ditions will mean additional service
and increased receipts OF commodities
from nearby Maryland and Virginia
There has been an increase IN de-
mands for meat products the last DAY
or two and the usual increased DE-
Inand for poultry for week end con-
sumers is expected.
Fruits and vegetables from distant
points continue plentiful at prices
dealers consider reasonable. Mush-
rooms have been particularly plenu-
full the past week or two, the price
dropping as low as 80 cents pound.
