| IN CENTER MARKET
Fish Also Dearer Today.
Fruit and Vegetable Prices
Are Unchanged.

Chicago meat market yesterday on
,yearlings, the young cattle bringing
IS cents, explaining the higher price
in the, local market for choice beer.
The local market was particularly ac-
tive on light beef today, while 1t was
draggy on the heavier beef at ID
cents.
The market was firm this morning
on both lamb and veal. Lamb was
quoted at 80 and 80 cents, while 20
cents was the price of veal. Dealers
believe changed weather conditions
have had good effect upon trade.
Price of pork loins also increased to-
day. Earlier in the week they were
quoted at 80 and "a cents. Today's
price went to IS cents and the market
was strong.
Dealers were on hand at Municipal
Fish Market early this morning for
supplies for the days trade. Trout
and croakers were not so plentiful
and higher, due to the continued
nor'easter, but retailers were able to
obtain supplies of other fish at prices
that were regarded reasonable.
Practically no changes in fruit and
vegetable prices were reported.
