SNOW CUTS down
| WEEK END BUYING
Poultry Supplies Heavy.
Meat Bit LoWer-VegetabIe
Receip pts Lighter.

Appearance Of snow yesterday aft
srnoon put damper on the week end
market business. Supplies continued
TO be received, however, and dealers
had plenty of foodstuffs on hand this
morning TO more than meet all de-
mands.
Immense quantities OF poultry were
received during the week. dealers re-
ported, making the market easy. but
with no appreciable change in prices.
Easier conditions Were reported In
the meat market during the week.
and, in some instances, slight reduc-
tions in prlces resulted, especially for
rough cuts.
Frost during the week interrupted
progress OF late Fall vegetables and
caused a falling off in receipts. The
falling off was only temporary, how
ever. for supplies this morning were
more than equal to the demand
Late tomatoes are getting scarce
Growers are still gathering few ripe
ones, but most of the ripe ones be-
ing offered are said to have been
rtpened under glass.
