Cooler weather has put additional
life in the meat market. Dealers re-

when the weather gets cooler. it is
stated, one reason given being that
bage, sauerkraut and green vegetables
requiring the use OF pork for sea-
soning.

firmer condition of that market this
morning. A fraction of a cent in.

was reported, but wholesale prices
here were not increased.

egg market was reported. First quail.
