wero slim. Some of tho farmers found broom-

while dealers and othcrs in tho tratie eav all

Prices averaged lower, but the season was more
sultabte in tho last uuarter Of tho year, which u
tho period when.the tra.lc is heavfest. Thu s,,o-
ply Of poultry all through tho couptry was
larger, hence decrease In tho shipments; and
some dealers estimate that smaller quantity

prices after November keeping 1t back. This
would Imply larger rcceipts The rest Ut tho vim

brought them hcary losses In dressed Stock.
Poultry sold at 4l10c, the recent range being

las been more plenty than IN 1877, but less 90
ts,an In other gcssons. Tic heavy losses eutal1cl
tho previous year, mud tho low prices, have op-
Grated to discourage hunters and shippers; aud
the Game laws havo becn mole vigorously Gu
forced in some States, Nlscousiu especially.
The weather OF the past two months has teen
very favorable, and tho game has arrived in
excellent condition, and probably netted
tho shippers moro money than It did
year ago, the. light loss by decay having
moro than compensated tho slight decline in
prices. Dealers anticipate larger receipts In
January, tho bulk Of which will have to be sold
here, a. the New York Inv prohibits receipts In.

that exporters VIII soon enter the market. The

II Is understood that efforts are being made
