Requests for Turkeys
Is Not Heavy.

AtI1ine III tuutiS NtIt al
early this morning for the Friday din
ner trade, and dealers at Municipal
Fish Market were able to supply dc.
mands. They did not have the usual
large variety of fish. however, because
Of recent cold weather. but the variety
was sufficient to satisfy demands.
Increased price of eggs has resulted
from slow receipts. possibly due to
cold weather. but dealers think prices
will not hold up very long. Current
receipts this morning were quoted at
A and As cents. fresh selected stock at
II and As, and henncry at AZ and so
cents.
Demand for turkeys has not been
very heavy since the close Of the holt
dav season, and there was so much
stock left over from the holiday mar
kct that shippers have not sent large
quantities of them this week.
\ continued firm condition of the
butter market was reported today. and
meat continued at about prices quoted
the past two days.
