BUYING SABBATH POULTRY
THE EAST SIDE JEWISH MARKET. WITH
ITS MOSAIC KILLING.

The poultry merchants Of the East Side DO
their largest business on Fridays, because there
are few households SO poor that they do not
have something in the poultry Inc on Satur-
days The sWeatshop worker or the poor push
cart pedIer is satisfied with the piainest kind
Of food six days in the week, but on Saturday,
when he returns from the synagogue arrayed in
his holiday fnery, he expects a sIuptuous meal,
of which fowl usually forms an Important part.
Saturdays marketing is always done On the
day before, and much Of the cooking is also
done that day. hence the lively business in
the East Side poultry stalls and at the street
stands, where poultry is a speciality on Fridays.
But the small dealers must also do their shop
ping, and they make business lively on Thurs
days at the supply markets in Rutgers and
GOuverneur SITS.
At these markets chickens. ducks turkeys and
geese are sold 10 dealers in quantities ranging
from one pair to a number OF crates. and al
though the birds go 10 a class of people who
are much below the average in point Of worldly
goods the stock is never too good and the
prices realized are highly satisfactory.
These markets differ from all other similar
sources Of table supplies in New-York in that
there is never any drawn fowl" for sale there,
and even the killed poultry is executed while the
customer waits.
At these markets they have 'schochot,"
man who has a license TO kill fowl according
TO the Mosaic rites, and he performs the opera
ton Of cutting the threats Of the birds which
the customer prefers to take home dead at the
rate Of three cents head. For one cent add
tional the poultry is dressed, and the dealer OF
the housewife stands by while the professional
killer prepares the chickens for the cook.
