Some Supplies, Notably
| Young Chickens, Scarcer.
Il Hauling Now Easy.
Notably

Continued open weather makes
handling of foodstuffs in the loca
market much easier than during
blizzard weather that is experienced
from time to time at this season OF
the year. Haulers from nearby
Maryland and Virginia have ex
perience very little difficulty reaching
this city with their supplies Of food
stuffs during the present Winter
season.
There is a scarcity of some supplies,
however, and delays would not mean
much to the average hauler. Receipts
of poultry, especially young chickens,
are small, dealers report, and mer-
chants are depending largely upon
frozen poultry for the trade.
Poultry prices have changed very
little the past few days. Meat prices
also have changed little, and prices
Of most commodities this morning
