Week Sees Slight Changes
as Weather Aids Buying.
Plenty of Late Corn.

An appreciable change in weather
conditions this week was fully appre-
Ciated by market dealers, especially
dealers in fresh meats and poultry.
Egg dealers also realize that the cool
weather will benefit their business by
increasing demand and decreasing
candling losses.
Butter and egg prices continued
frm, as did prices for veal and lamb.
Prices OF beef and pork remained
about the same as those quoted at
the beginning of the week.
Fruits and vegetables continue fair
ly plentiful and a good demand for
them was reported during the week.
Fruits and vegetables for canning and
picking purposes are reported by
dealers as being cheap.
Vegetable dealers are displaying an
Interest in the late crop of sugar corn

benefited by rains, and 1t is believed
there will be a fairly good crop of
the late vegetable.
