PRICES ARE STEADY
/ IN MARKET TODAY
Butter Very Firm - Egg
Values Continue Tending
Toward Lower Levels.


A very firm condition of the butter
market was reported this morning.
Prices I'm New York and Chicago have
advanced this week, but the local
market was not affected.
The egg market continues weak,
81 cents being the lowest price re-
ported for current receipts. Increased
receipts of eggs the past rev Gays
changed the condition of the mar
ket, and continued open weather may
result in a further lowering OF prices;
Marine products were IN demand
this morning, and dealers had many
attractive offerings of fish from the
Potomac River and far distant points
Oysters continued plentiful, and there
We're liberal supplies OF crab meat
from the Gulf of Mexico and the
vicinity of Hampton, Va.
Prices of most commodities this
morning We're the same as prices re-
ported yesterday.
