Trading in fresh fruits and vege- tables was almost at a standstiil Thursday and Friday because of weather conditions. The low tcni- perntures and bad travelling con- diti0ns made deliveries by whole salers to retailers slow and diff cult. and this added to the danger of freezing the products while in transit. Price changes were mot pronounced with such light trad ing. ts F' Y
 Some of the southern green veg etableB which escaped the effects of the earlier southern freeze were showing upwards reactions to this latest southern and southwestern cold. wave. Spinach was held more firmly after reports from Texas showed lighter shipments. Cauli- flower was also somewhat. firmer and a little higher than for some time previously when this vege- table was available at unusually low prices.
 The egg situation, continued firm and price held at the higher levels advanced to earlier in the week. Western eggs from current collec- tions and storage eggs were rela- lively frmer and higher than offer ings from nearby. Light supplies of storage eggs. with q month to go before the last of them are to be cleared, left the market for them firm under existing conditions of fresh egg Supplies. Locally prices remained unchanged since the one cent advance by Newlaid Fancy and Newlaid Medium grades at mid-week. -',
 Butter prices have advanced since the fore part of the week tc highest levels reached in several years. leading scores selling one cent higher than the high point reached the first week in January of this year. Western dressed meats continued firm. Western dressed poultry was showing a somewhat firmer tone.
