Quick Disappearance of Snow
Aids HauIerS From
Nearby Farms.

Quick disappearance of the snow
that fell Saturday night and yesterday
was pleasing to local market dealers.
1t was feared by some Of the dealers
yesterday morning that cold spell
might follow the snow and interfere
with shipments by truck from nearby
Maryland and Virginia.
Failure of such weather to mate
rialize, however, means that haulers
will not be interrupted. Receipts Of
commodities this morning were light, a
usual condition the first market day
of the week. and the draggy condition
of the market was not affected.
Buyers were out as early as usual,
but not in large numbers. Prices Of
commodities this morning were sub
stantiaIy the same as those reported
Saturday.
