TRADING HEAVIER
IN CENTER MARKET
Vacationists' Return Has
Stimulating Effect on
Foodstuff Sales.

Return to the city of persons who
have spent the entire Summer season
away from home has resulted in in
creased trading in the local market,
and further increase is expected
when Congress convenes in December.
Dealers this morning were able to
Offer attractive supplies of practically
all foodstuffs. but the first market
day of the week seldom brings out
large number of patrons, consumers
usually getting supplies enough on
Saturday to carry them over the week
end.
A continued firm condition of the
butter and egg market was reported
this morning, and prices of most com
modities were substantially the same
as prices quoted at the close of last
week s market.
