Movement of native apples con- tinued slow again this week, the situation being about the same as last week. Southern apples were freely offered at wholesalers and getting fully as much attention from buyers as the home grown. In one respect there was slight change in the deal this week in that there were few lots on sale from common storage which were suffering from the effects of warm weather. These were showing too much ripeness in most cases and owners of them were more anxious to sell than last week. Most of these common storage apples were of ordinary grade. Aside from these few showing extra ripeness prices remained unchanged.
 Offerings of fresh native eggs of all sizes continued plentiful be- cause of increased production by bullet fiocks and also as a result of the mild weather. The market tone for eggs continued weak, but more active clearance by retailers was reported following recent sharp price reductions.
 The turkey price situation re- mained uncertain as wholesalers awaited the usual Turkey Sunday" opening of the holiday trade when prices would be decided upon de- finitely, Until then all concerned in the wholesale western turkey deal refuse to commit themselves. Re- ports from larger terminal markets the fore part of the week point to a price level for the better western dressed birds of around 2S cents a pound wholesale. The price con- mittee for the producers associa- ton in this state are to meet Sun day and decide on their price for inspected fancy Connecticut tur- keys, adjusted to the western tur- key price level.
 Unless otherwise stated quota tions are based on sales of good merchantabIe products to retailers by nearby growers or Others).
