TOO MUCH TURKEY.

The Poultry Market Glutted in San
Francisco-Oth Markets.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 24.-The poultry
market was smashed this morning, in
so far as the price of turkeys was con-
cerned, and dealers were glad to clean
up at 10 cents pound, the top price
for dressed. The people who raised
them in the country were evidently cal
culating on the same high prices which
ruled at Thanksgiving. and rushed their
stock in to such an extent that the.mar-
ket was glutted.' Over 80 tons came in
today with the Oregon train, ten hours
late, to hear from. Other poultry re-
mained unchanged, with duh demand.
Quite variety OF early green veget-
ables arrived from the south. The first
Los Angeles tomatoes were offered at
$1.50 per box; new peas at from 10 to
121aa cents per pound, and rhubarb alto
cents. Asparagus was very plentiful
and cleaned up at from 20 to 25 cents
per pound. Sweet potatoes still hold
up with moderate receipts.
The fresh fruit market holds dull un-
der unfavorable weather. Apples are
weaker for all varieties, and oranges are
just holding their own. Lines are
stiffly held and supplies are scarce.
Some grapes are offering, but they meet
with Glow sale. Dried fruit and nuts
meet with the usual holiday demand.

The President-Elect Receives q Unique
Christmas Gift.
New York, Dec. 24.-Christmas came
to President-elect Cleveland today in
various forms, but there was one thing
which was rather expected and which
he got. Rev. Father Kessel Of
the church of the Holy Redeemer,
State Senator George Reosch and Henry
Wolf waited upon him today and with
out preface presented TO him beauti-
full gold-headed cane which had been
votei to him at fair held by
Father Kessel's congregation some time
previous to the election. The presenta.
ton committee, without any formality,
explained to Mr.. Cleveland that the
cane had been voted to him as being the
most popular presidential candidate, and
gave the handsome stick into his hands.
The president-elect responded in O few
words, and the episode was concluded.
Merry Christmas wishes were ex-
changed, and the committee retired.
NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 24.-For some
time past citizens of Caldwell have been
anxiously looking forward for the ex-

to Caldwell, the village being his birth
place. 1t was expected that Cleve-
land would be able to make the visit be-
fore his inauguration in March. The
citizens of Caldwell are somewhat dis
appointed because of letter received
from Mr.. Cleveland today declining the
invitation, owing to the pressure Of busi-

Plum Pudding, Brandy Sauce. .
Mince and Apple Pie.
Cheese Straw and salad,

Chablis. Sherry. Burgundy.
Sauterne. Champagne. Port Wine.
Coffee. Nuts Raisins and Pruues.
A sense of candor compels me to say
that q finer dinner (for Portland, Seattle
or Spokane Falls) was never set upon a
table. 1t was gorgeous bit of cooking
but such dinner for that climate. I
wore suit of tennis flannel and my
wife was dressed in drees of the thin
est lawn. About the time that the big
plum pudding came on in blaze of
brandy, had sovereign in my vest
pocket that L would gladly have bar
tered for quart of ice cream such as
you can get at any of our soda fountains.
1t does not look we'll to speak or write
in disparaging manner of any other
mans hospitality, but the red-hot glow
OF that dinner party 1 may never forget.
The streams of perspiration poured
down both cheeks as responded to the
toast The President of the United States,
and regretted that he had not been re.
elected. 1t is needless to say that our
host eulogized Mr.. Cleveland as man
whose great triumphs over early adver-
stiles could only have been achieved
under republican form of government.
l had a Hammam bath before he got
through with his tribute to our chief
magistrate.
l am pleased that have found q
happy medium between the arid atmos-
phere of Botany bay and the chilly east
ern breezes prevalent at Portland. Los
Angeles has the most conservative of
climates, and as am invited to dine at
the table of an old friend who lives out
of town, shall be glad to leave my ten
mis- flannel snit behind me and my Pan
anna hat. The roast turkey will not be
much out OF place today and I shall
probably be able to get away with Sec
ond joint and cup of black coffee after
wards. HIDALGo.
