OUR FAMILY MARKET REVIEW.

The past week has been marked by peculiar character
sics, caused by the sudden transition from cool TO mild
weather. First hand dealers IN perishable marketable
produce and supplies usually expect cold weather at this
Of the year, and those residing at distance
ding upon railroad speed convey their produce
market, even during warm weather. do il the hypothe
sis that cool weather will set In after and thus give
their consignees sufficient time to realise fair prices
We speak Of this at this time, because it has been
the case this week that the first hand poultry
dealers who have Gent any quantity of stock market
have been great losers account Of the mild weather
Our quotations this week for first class and medium
qualities We could put figures down sill lower but this
would only be for damaged or lean poultry. In the
trade the market well stocked with choice varic-
ties. The hunters both in the Eastern and Western
states, and ID our own state, meeting with
cehent success Venison is becoming more plen-
~. Ducks are very low, with q tolerable demand.
Before passing from the subject of poultry and
game u Is proper to state that the prices marked
below must not be taken as a criterion go by next
week, as an advance in prices must be expected as
Thanksgiving approaches especially should the weather
be cool The retail price for butter mains quoted
last week In the Wholesale trade there have beu three
failures one OF which affects producers and the other
have their liabilities mostly In this city In the article a
apples the receipts have been very large but prices
main unchanged. Ounces very scarce indeed, and
much IN demand.
