BUSINESS
IN LOCAL MARKET
Wholesalers Receipts Small,
Meeting Little Demand.
Prices Unchanged.

Business along wholesale row was
practically at standstill today, As is
usually the case on Monday. Receipts
of fresh vegetables were so small as to
be almost negligible and retail mer-
chants experienced difficulty In procur-
ing enough of that type of merchandise
to fill even their meager Monday re-
Quirements.
Poultry and eggs, as we'll as butter.
remained at the same prices as those
quoted on Saturday although merchants
predict another drop on poultry during
the week. It is not expected that II viii
be as large as the one noted last week.
little or no relief Is seen from the exist
ing high meat prices.
