WEDNESDAY, Dec. 81. 1890.

Commission men report trade very active.
Supply of turkeys is large, but demand proved
larger and price advanced to zoe per pound in a
jobbing way. The New Years turkey is more
expensive than that for Christmas. The high
est price of the year was on the last day. Other
poultry is less active, and chickens are shade
lower. Our markets are much better supplied
with potatoes of late. and prices are 15c per
bushel below the highest point. Fresh eggs
are good stock and outside quotations rule.
Creamery butter has weakened, and quotations
of last week are slightly shaded by jobbers.

Wall street firm of Batenan Brothers. The
opening price for the May delivery was S7ssc.
with few sales at 9711c, and one or two trans
actions at N1Sc. There was good demand at
the decline and an immediate advance, which
at the end of the first ten minutes. caused some
of the sellers at the start to buy back at CSC the
wheat they Had sold at the opening for 9733sc.
The advance at this point bumped against the
call price. and a moderate reaction occurred.
The cables were even stronger in tone than
they were yesterday.
The corn market was strong under the infu-

This trade is now at its qGIetest time for the
year. Volume of trade. according to moderate
estimates. has been fully one-third larger this

outlook for another good year is considered by
lumbermen as good as it has ever been. Hard

EAST SIDE BOULEVARD.
Prof FoIweII Is Stirring Up the
Question Again.


Prof. ". ". Folwell Is again asitat-
ing the subject Of improving the east
bank of the river down as lar as II.
Paul. Some years ago that project
was talked of and preparations were
begun 10 secure the land necessary 10
make lie improvement. But the work
was allowed 10 lag and nothing was
ever done. The first thing that Park
Commissioner Ryan did when he took
his seat in The me tinGs Of the park
board was 10 advocate the establish
ment Of a boulevard on that side OF the
river. He had plans drawn and laid
before the board. The plan there out
lined contemplated a boulevard 200 feet
wide along the summit of the bluff and
drive along the shore. 4 committee
was appointed al that time 10 look into
the matter. Prof. FOlweli says of the
work OF the committee:
There Is q most singular reluCtsnce upon
the part Of some Of Inc property owners 10

promises. bur have never given rs any
