and barley. at prices fully up to quotations.
There were not many changes In prices and
the market was pretty steady and regular.
Barley frmed up 1c. Live hogs were slightly
weaker Potatoes pretty steady. Eggs were
weaker. Butter quiet and unchanged.
Dressed poultry is not in favorable condi-
ton. The demand for IL is very limited. es-
pecially for turkeys, while q good deal is be-
ing sent in here from the interior. and that,
too, in spite OF the caution that has fire.
quenJly been given TO dealers in the interior.
THERE'S very great danger OF a repetition OF
the experience OF Thanksgiving week. The
weather ID mild. the demand is light and the
consignments from the interior are quite
numerous. The consequence is that the
market is becoming overstocked- The result
will be, if the weather continues in this con-
dition and the shipments from the interior are
not lessened, that to save the stock it will
have to be sent to the ice house and the
charges win eat up all that is left after pay
ment of commissions. Then the consignor
will feel that he has been swindled. The
remedy is, stop the shipments

Dressed Poultry continues to be In very
light demand, especially for turkeys, while
considerable is daily arriving. The weather
in the meantime is mild and unfavora-
BILE for shippers, so that there is decided
danger that the market may be overloaded.
Dealers in the interior should hold up little
in shipping 10 this market. As long as the
demand is so light and shipments continual.
as they are at present. consignors must not
and cannot expect satisfactory returns. The
circulars of irresponsible men holding up the
prices and urging shipments should not be re-
garded. They are not truthful and the con-
signor, if ne follows their advice and coutIn-
ues to ship to this market, will find that his
returns will be nothing at all. Quotations:
