Wholesale Produce Market.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 21.-The commission houses
are chiefly busy with poultry and eggs, both of
which arc for the present in feyerish demand;
there is not nearly sufficient to fill i'm
mediate orders which are constantly increas-
ing; this excitement will, Of cours Q, continue
till after the holidays. The shipments are i'm
mense and the prices have advanced considera-
bly,. We quote turkeys at a large range because
there are so many poor birds coming in.
They all, however, sell. providing always that
they are fresh. There is aslo a squirt in the
egg market, and fresh are eagerly sought after
and will be till Christmas. Butter still con-
tinues slow except choice creamery brands, for
which there is gooi demand at higher prices.
