SEA FOOD DEMAND
HEAVY IN MARKET
Turkey Receipts Continue
Fairly Heavy-Other Fowl
Eagerly Sought.

Early morning trading at Municipal
Fish Market was active, due to the
demand for marine products for the
Friday dinner trade, and increased
activity in other markets also was
evidenced. Snappy weather has
brought increased trade in all food
stuffs. according to dealers, and fur
ther increases in the near future are
anticipated.
Turkey receipts continue fairly
heavy and the demand naturally in
creases as the temperature drops.
Meats also were in good demand to-
day. Chicke~s. ducks and keats
were in demand, while the call foI
rabbits was greater than the supply.
Rabbits are not yet plentiful, and
wholesale prices are not quoted. Many
exceptionally small rabbits have
reached here this week, according to
reports, but the big supply will not
come until after the opening of the
cunning season in Maryland and
Virginia.
Fruits and vegetables are being re
ceived in quantities sufficiently large
TO supply demands. The butter and
egg market continues firm.
