POULTRY CHEAPER
IN LOCAL MARKET
Egg Receipts Gain Only
SIightIy-Meat Prices Are
Unchanged.

why egg receipts have not materially
Increased the past two or three weeks
They have increased to small extent,
but not enough to affect prices as much
as dealers had anticipated
Shortly after the close of the Christ
mas holiday season, when mild weather
continued. a slight increase in receipts
was reported, and dealers thought re-
ceipts would continue to increase.
Receipts are ample to meet demands
according to this mornings report.
Cheaper poultry prices probably will
result in a greater demand for the
product of the barnyard Meat, fruit
and vegetable prices remained about the
same.
