POULTRY AND EGGS
ARE ECHEAPERH HERE
Nearby Receipts Still Greatly
CurtaiIed-Meat Prices
Steady Today.

almost impossible in some places and
only signs of Winter in evidence, the
interior of the market presents an
entirely different scene. Early straw
berries and other fruits and vege-
tables of almost every variety are in
evidence.
Continued slippery condition of the
roads in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia still interferes with the move
ment of motor vehicles that bring
butter. eggs, poultry and produce to
the-local market. Supplies are equal
to the demand, however, and no ad-
vances in prices are reported.
The poultry and egg market were
somewhat easier today, receipts being
fully ample to supply demands.
