SACRAMENTO MARKET.
The Various Markets Assuming
Holiday Appearance.

liolIuaS Appearance.
SACRAMENTO, December / 9Th.
There seemed 10 be livelier spirit among
produce dealers to-day, perhaps in most part
| being due to the fact that dealers We're pre-
pairing themselves to accommodate an ex-
pected increase in demands during the holt
/ days. Turkeys and Chickens in innumerable
quantities were on display in the many stalls,
and judging from their looks they have been
evidently well fed. The present outlook Is
very favorable to consumers, and if the
weather continues settled, Poultry will in all
probability be very reasonable during the
holidays.
Wild Game, as a rule, continues very scarce.
not enough Ducks coming into market TO be
hardly worthy quotations. Quail are plenti-
ful, the large receipts from Arizona being in
excess Of local demands.
Butter and Eggs continue weak, with good
spect OF a further decline in prices.
There is nothing in Fruits and Vegetables
both being fairly represented, and prices re-
manning at quotations which have ruled the
past few days.
