About Unchanged.


heavy trading. wholesalers had ample
supplies of all commodities on hand for
the retail trade this morning, but re-
tailers were not out in large numbers.
The ones who appeared during the early
morning hours did not do buying In
large quantities.
Monday usually is a day for quiet
trading. no matter what weather con-
clitions may be. Shippers in nearby
MARYLAND and Virginia do very little
shipping on Sundays explaining the
Shortage In receipts the first trading
day of the week.
Egg dealers this morning reported
prospects for a bad season for the
handling Of products of the hennery.
Many OF the eggs received the past few
days were In poor condition, according
to reports. Gambling losses are getting
heavier and receipts lighter.
Hot weather also proves bad for the
handling of live poultry. the intense
heat affecting the chickens in transit.
It also has It's effect upon other COM
modities. Prices today were substan-
TALLY the same as prices quoted Satur-
day.
