BUSINESS BRISK
AT FISH MARKET
Trade Rather Draggy in 9th.
err Products, With Pur-
ChaSeS Smaller.

Municipal Fish Market was busy
place this morning. Dealers said the
combination of Friday and hot weather
assisted in boosting trade. BUSINESS
always is good on Friday, dealers
state. and fish Is more in demand in
hot weather than at other times, many
consumers satisfying their appetiteS
{. with seafood rather than with meats.
Dealers in eggs are communicating
with shippers of the hennery product
With view to having more care
aiken in the matter of gathering eggs.
I'D Is naturally to be expected that
handling losses viii be heavier in hot
weather, dealers say, but the losses
could be largely reduced If farmers
would exercise more care in promptly
gathering the eggs.
{ Market conditions generally were
iraggy this morning. Buyers were
= but early to escape the heat, but pur-
: chases were not large, it is stated,
knany of the buyers holding OFF until
pmorrow morning for stock for their
Saturday trade.
