obtained. To-day the supply is believed to be
equally great, Il oush more generally distributed.

mixed with better article Values, however, as
reported, are trife lower than yesterday for
dressed while live stock DO not appear to be wanted
even at our inside quotation. Other kinds OF Poul
try are not in favor. Live Turkeys, gobblers, 1l@
