Among the Commissien Men.

The ohy thing giving commission men
trouble is poultry, which they cannot get at any
price IN sufficient quantities to supply orders.
Last night and this mOrAiug their emissaries
were securing tbs city and offering retail prices
SOC being offered for turkeys. There were,
however, aou-ands of birds sold at &c below that
price The demand is no doubt immense and
any kind OF birds will sell if fresh. venison is
correepondingly high, in price that is
if not so in odor. Eggs continue to be in good
demand if strictly fresh. Dressed meats are
stifTening and command slightly higher prices.

the supply is ample. Florida orrnges are es-
peeially fine this season and cheap. Following
