TRADING IS SLOW
IN MARKET TODAY
Warm Weather and Good
Vegetable Supplies Give
Summer Aspect.

Warm weather this morning was
partly responsible for the absence OF
buying value in the wholesale market
The large displays of fruits ana Vege-
tables. more especially the latter. gave
the market the appearance of Summer
business.
Lima and string beans, not so plentl.
full. were included in today's supplies OF
vegetables. Liberal supplies OF cabbage
and potatoes and light supplies OF peetS'
eggplant and peppers were reported.
Dealers reported moderate recelptS
of carrots, onions and lettuce. Lower
nrices were reported for fowls ana
Spring chickens, prices Of other poultry
remaining unchanged. Prices OF most
commodities this morning were SUP,
stantjally the same as those reported
yesterday.
