Gains About Offset Losses
in First Ten Days of
September.

depressed for some time past, especially
the egg market and most kinds OF live
stock.
These responded moderately to de.
creased receipts and fairly active de-
mand
Weakness in grain, cotton and feeds
were mainly due to better crop condi-
tions and improved pasturage.

though receipts of dressed stock show
the usual tendency to increase at this
nervous and unsettled losing little OF
the strength Of preceding weeks.
General trends Of fruits and vege-
tables appear to be downward as usual
in September but at the lower levels
reached lately there was considerable
steadiness for potatoes, onions, cabbage
and some signs of recovery for potatoes
in Mi1weStern markets. Lettuce holds
most of the recent gains.
Capital Prices Steady.
