Snappy weather this morning failed to put much snap in trading in the wholesale market district. Business, however, was reported about normal for Weanesday morning, Wednesday usually being one of the dullest days of the week. 3 bably from &”3. morn! because of the cold weather, such dealers making their buys over the telephone. Because of the decided change in temperature, dealers found it neces- sary to protect their commodities from the cold, commission merchants covering their supplies with canvas or moving them to the interiors of their establishments. Kale and Collards. An early morning delivery of kale and collards from Nortolk proved in- teresting to commission merchants. The vegetabies, 160 barrels and 200 bushel baskets, approximately a carload, came over the road in a single motor truck, reaching here in time for the day's market. Continued interest in the condition of the egg market is being displayed by wholesalers, prices continu o drop, despite this morning’s lower - Current receipt eggs this were quoted at 36 and 37 cents, selected and current receipts being quoted at 38 cents. Receipts of eggs the past few days have been fairly plentiful and, it is stated, release of supplies on hand at prevailing prices probably would have & tendency to further reduce prices. Storage supplies are about exhausted, accerding to reports of local dealers, affecting the market to the extent of keeping prices as high as they are, Much cheaper prices the next few weeks are are anticipated by dealers. Poultry dealers are continuing to re- celve llm ‘flmmm of supplies from ryland and Virginia and dis- points, receipts of turkeys con- tinuing heavier than usual so late in the season. “The market still has a Christmas appearance,” commented a _ dealer, pointing to quantities of both live and dressed turkeys displayed for thé benefit of the retail trade. “And with the continued fairly h!‘vg yar fowls,” added the dealer, “is & con- tinued fairly heavy deman: Plentiful supplies of Sj g chick- ens. broilers, cnpor:sfih{ow lnnn.d pkr:“‘ also were re&o:tcd morning, prices continuing same as prices quoted yesterday. Receipts of marine products continued light. They were heavy enough to en- able dealers to supgl demands, how- ever, at prices slig] i in_advance of prices quoted last week. Oysters were not very plentiful, oystermen having refrained from braving weather condi- tions during the recent storm. Rabbit Shipments. Dealers this morning received fairly large shipments of rabbits from the West, chiefly Kansas, they reported, the cold weather resulting in the dfnme reaching here in splendid condition. ‘There was not much of demand for the rabbits registered by retailers or con- sumers, however, and dealers gladly accepted 20 cents for them. Strawberry receipts continued very light and prices continted high, dealers quoting them at 75 cents. “It merely is a cas: of between sea- Sons,” sald a merchant this morning, “advices telling of the probability of the late-Florida berries being ready for shipment about February 10. “From that time,” he added, “berries will gradually ripen at points farther north, the professional pickers following from place to place until the opening of the berry season in the Norfolk, Va., section,” Other varieties of fruits, chiefly from the South and West, were received in quantities sufficiently large to meet de- mands.

CHICAGO, January 29 (#).—Tumb- ling down nearly 3 cents a bushel, wheat prices today went to within a - | fraction of the lowest level reached here this season. Weakness of wheat quota- tions at Winnipeg, Live: 1 and Buenos Aires, together with lack of ex) de- mand for wheat from North erica, ounced bearish influence, ureomyunuuhmuldtohnve sold 220,000 bushels of wheat to Italy and Germany. Heavy selling out of future delivery holdings on standing orders to stop losses at various fixed limits was an outstanding feature of wheat operations here, with corn, oats and rye all dropping to below the sea- son's previous bottom level. * Wheat closed nervous; 2 to 2% cents a bushel lower than yesterday’s finish. 1% off, and provisions unchanged to a decline of 2. pineapples were included among the | m offerings.
