lawful shipment. Greatly increased
receipts are expected tomorrow, ac-
cording to dealers, and prices prob
ably will be lower. Six dollars was
the price quoted for average receipts
this morning, trapped rabbits bring
ing $3.50.
Dealers reported the market lit
terally glutted with small hens. many
OF them too thin to find purchasers.
Twenty cents was the top price
quoted for them. \ slight increase
in the price of eggs was reported,
and dealers also reported a slight in
crease in receipts.
