|NL0CAL MARKET
Fish and Rabbits Proving
PopuIar-Turkeys Still in
Good Demand.

A draggy condition of the market
invariably follows a holiday season,
according to dealers, and such was re-
ported of the market this morning.
Dealers say the plentiful supply OF
fish and rabbits is affecting meat
sales.
Dealers reported firm condition or
the meat market today, but with no
material change in priceH. Colder
weather probably will mean decided
increase in the volume of L'eats ana
other commodities handled ba market
dealers.
There still is fairly good demand
for turkeys, with prices ABOUT tne
same as those reported during inc
holiday season last week. me put
ter market continues very firm, while
a weaker egg market in the near fu-
ture is predicted.
