POULTRY AND EGGS
TAKE SLIGHT DROP
Fairly Good Demand for
Meat Reported in Lo-
cal Market.

There was a fairly good demand
Yor meats today. A dull market was
reported during the holiday season,
and a continued Improvement Is eX-
pected to result in an active market
before long.
Top beef, in fairly plentiful supply,
is in demand at prevailing prices
and there also is fair demand for
lamb, veal and pork products. Lambs
are scarce and high.
Poultry and egg prices took a
slight drop today Improved condl-
tion of the roads in Maryland and
Virginia enabled haulers to renew
activities and land large consign-
ments of products of their sections
, here.
"There is plenty stock on hand"
observed a dealer, but the demand
IS not here"
