need supplies to last over Sunday,
there are many of the vacationists who
will spend their holiday at resorts,

week end buying.
Buying was not unusually brisk this
morning. Poultry was in demand by
many of the cottagers, and other food
stuffS also were purchased by such

those who have Summer homes at

Prices this morning were substan-
TALLY the same as those reported yes
