PRICES HOLD FIRM
At CENTER MARKET
Heavy Supplies of Storage
Butter on Handbags
Remain Cheaper.

Merchants were in evidence in the
wholesale market early this morning
TO get first pick of commodities for
Sunday supplies for their patrons.
j.. There was nothing approaching a
holiday rush, however, but trading
was satisfactory.
Practically no changes in prices
We're reported. The egg market con-
tinued easier, with but slight
change in prices, and butter prices
also remained high, the market being
reported as firm.
Dealers report that quantities OF
storage butter are being offered at
prices considerably lower than prices
Tor fresh creamery stock, and dealers
say there is no comparison between
the two qualities.
