DOMESTIC MARKETS.
OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH, I
WEDNESDAY. November 20. 1890
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.

Supply of poultry was the largest of the
season, but demand kept pace with supply.
One Liberty street commission merchant re-
ported sales of nearly five tons of poultry, and
others did equally as well. The faith of farmers
in Pittsburg's Thanksgiving tendencies is evil
IDENTIFY large, and they were not disappointed in
their calculations. 1t is doubtful if ever before
as many Thanksgiving turkeys were sold in this
market on the day before the festival. Pota-
toes and apples are in good demand at outside
quotations. Price of the former has been ad-
vanced 10c per bushel, and another advance is
likely to come before the week is out.
