Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-12-26

Commission houses have been busy only in
goods Immediately connected with the holidays,
such as fruits, poultry, venison, game, etc.
Thera has perhaps been little impr oveIuent
Upon the previous week in coarse grain, feed,
nay and dress-d meats, following upon the ad-
yenE of snow, but the main bust ness has been as
stated. There has been large business done in
poultry; the demand has been immense AID the
supply liberal, 5ut not nearly sufficient to meet
the demand. and consequently birds of ali grades
have realized good prices. Commission men
have given as much as 20c per pound for turkeys.
Pheasants and grouse have been scarce, and have
commanded good figures. There still exists a
good demand for everything in the way OF poul-
try and geme, which will continue until after
New Years. Butter has continued very dull,
there being no market for any but shipping
grades and chsice creamery. Dressed meats
have ruled somewhat suffer, the deman in
crossing, and it is thought prices Will still adj
vance If hard weather continues with good
slsishing. There has been good, healthy de-
rnAzd for live stock, and a fair supply. Prices
have been rsmuDerative, both for cattle and
hsg,, especially tbs lattsr, which have been in
demand. Below will be found prices current
frem tia stock yards and the commission
