High.

=
terday, stocks being pretty nearly exhausted
when the closing hour arrived Taken as u
whole, the week uas been Il fairly active one
with produce dealers, everything which was
of choice quality meeting with ready sale.
There was firm demand ali week for poul-
try, which has been exceedingly scarce and
high All receipts were quickly disposed of
Is fast as they came in, many orders even
then remaining untitled Yesterday after
noon not a chlcSHn wa to be had at any iig-
urc The DrI OF bruilerS Jumped from 90
cents TO ) c, MS when the market opened
ana even at Lne latter figure the demand did
not cease. Large chickens commanded pro
portionate figures, until oters OF s. Per dozen
We're offered To produccrs-a higher figure
than has been reached for many years Tame
ducks are nj present almost unknown in To-
cal circles, and turkeys are very scarce.
PouitrN-raiSin@ the past couple OF years seems
to have been totally neglected, great many
farmers being carried away with the opinion
that time Is wasted raising fowls. Yet by ref
erence to quotations one can easy t..tJ bet
! ter returns may De fc;.iHed from tins line IF
r0dGcc than almost any other, II properly
tostereu. Wll4 game IA past years has Illcd
the want 10 a great eXtcnt, but ;,s the country
! settles up IL ntc.Ss sttrily causes Il scarcity
| which must be illed by barnN ard fowls TIE
hens seem 10 he very busy at present, iudg-
ing rom the quantity Of eggs ii market and
tie cheap prices ruling, quotation ruling as
low as 1Gz cents per dozen.
There is but Hide doing IN fruits, but this
may OC accounted for in a measure by the
tacJ that nothing choice is TO be had. II e e
| is a. plentiful supply OF oTad"e-, but they are
small and Ot pVrr IlaVOr. As To good apples,
/ they are at present unknown. Biuanas, such
a they are, are plentiful, but not nearly up to
! the standard in quality.
Butter is frmeT, lIicCS tending upward for
! a choice article.
/ Meats continue very hi4h. more especially
mutton and PORK, the latter being YER, Sc;ticc.
/ Hay, grain and mills uils are plentiful, and
prices rule low and weak.
