an active demand at present, Chickens, par
ticularly broiiers, and Ducks being scarce.

quarter OF orders. Unless there is a material
increase in receipts tomorrow, many people
who generally count on u chicken dinner for
Sunday Will either fast or content themselves
with some other kind of meats. Butter is
holding its own well, with a good demand.
Eggs are in the rut, most dealers having
larger stock on hand than can be easily dis
posed Of even at bedrock prices. Vegetables
are IN good supply at very moderate rates
