SACRAMENTO MARKET,
Drop in the Price of Poultry-Vege-
tables Plentiful.
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 27th.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 2 9TH.
Business was resumed in the local markets
this morning after a cessation OF two days,
and prices in several cases which had adj
vanced just previous to Christmas showed a
decline. The great demand fcr Turkeys has
ceased, and these fowls are now in plentiful
supply, prices having dropped proportion
ately. Other fowls show no change
Wild game is now in supply equal to all de-
mand. Quite n number OF Mallard and other
varieties of Ducks were noticed in market,
but the inquiry was not very large.
The warm weather the past week had q
beneficial effect on Vegetables and dealers are
low plentfully supplied with all seasOnabIe
lines. Especially has the change in weather
favored Cauifiower, there being at present an
abundant supply Of very fine quality.
Citrus Fruits are very plentiful and cheap,
as are also the poorer grades Of Apples while
choice varieties of the large are exceedingly
scarce ana high.
Dairy Produce is about the same with the
exception of Ranch Eggs which for the past
few Gays have been rather scarce. This scare
ity is probably due more TO the late storm
than any other cause, the heavy rains and
high wafer preventing many ranchers bring
ing their produce 10 market, and within the
next few days there is little doubt the receipts
VIII be more than ample to meet all wants.
