WEATHER SLOWS
MARKET TRADING
, Sloppy Roads in Virginia and
! Maryland May Cut Haul
Ii ings Tomorrow.

Sloppy weather It's morning was
not conducive to active trading. Mon
day mornings trade usually is slow
under most favorable weather condi-
tions, according to merchants, and
this mornings Indictment weather
made trading even slower.
No matter what the weather condi'
tions may he tomorrow morning, re-
tailers will not he able to refrain from
making their usual Tuesday morning
visit to wholesale market for supplies
1t is believed the sloppy condition OF
the roads in Maryland and Virginia
may reduce the number of haulers TO-
morrow morning. but the reduction IS
not likely to interfere with the market
to any considera bic extent.
Prices this morning were suhstan'
TALLY the same as those reported az
the close of last weeks market.
