POULTRY.
The only demand now for poultry
seems to be for chickens. Hens and
springs are in good request and mar
ket for them rules strong. Turkeys
are very weak. The bulk of receipts
is running to this class of poultry and
the supply Is far in excess of the de-
mand. The turkey market bids fair to
rule dull and weak for some time.
Geese, too, are easy and laboring un-
der n dull demand. Ducks in fair re-
quest; only about steady. Live poul-
