Eggs. Butter, Poultry and
Beet Prices Little Changed
Today.

Continued bad condition of the roads
In Maryland and Virginia was reflect
ed in the local wholesale market this
morning, absence of haulers usually
here Friday mornings inconvenience
ing dealers.
Dealers anxiously awaiting their ar
rival were without information as to
whether any of them were actually
on their way here. 1t was expected
that some haulers, delayed by the
roads, would reach here this after
noon or tomorrow morning.
There was no particular scarcity or
eggs, however, and prices were not
affected. Poultry was scarce and
dealers had to depend largely upon
the cold storage product to supply
demands
An unsettled condition of the but
ter market was reported this morning,
indicating a lower market.
