PRICES HOLD FIRM
At CENTER MARKET
Road Conditions Prevent Any
Reduction in Prices in
Local Markets.

Continued bad conditions of roads
In Maryland and Virginia prevent
3hany haulers of poultry, butter and
eggs from landing supplies in the
city, and until conditions improve and
increased quantities of supplies are
received, 1t Is stated, there is little
likelihood of cheaper prices prevail
ing.
Only moderate receipts of most
vegetables are reported, but receipts
are equal to demands. One of the
most plentiful vegetables on the
market this week is cauliflower, sup
plies being very liberal and prices re-
ported as cheap.
Prices of most commodities, espe-
cially meats, butter and eggs, re-
main unchanged since yesterday.
