ErSTO WHOLESALE MARKET

California are on the market, which have
an excellent flavor aud good color. They
are selling well at $3.50 TO 1915 per box.
There is a fairly good supply OF cabbage
on the market. Minnesota and New York
stock Is ON sale as wen as Texas coast
cabbage. Prices are, as usual, $3.50 per
crate.
Receipts Of Texas eggs are plentiful and
there Is good sale Tor them at "a and 25
cents. Storage eggs arc In light demand
and prices are now going lower in the
Northern markets.
There. IS little demand for chickens and
prices at present are lower than they have
been for long time. Turkeys are In brisk
demand and prices range now, for hens at
! 50 TO $11, gobblers ST. to SIS.
| Advices from Chicago indicate that a cor.
ner is probable In the turkey market The
following gives an idea Of the situation:
! There IS strong suspicion on South wa
ter street that the turkey market has been
| cornorod. Swift and Armour are buying
| heavily and Monday they offered 11isc for
| dressed turkeys, an advance Of u cent over
! the market of last Saturday.
| Uncertainty, however, Is the prevailing
! feature of the trade. II is admitted that
| a practical monopoly OF the turkey market
! is more easily obtapable this year than
| for good many seasons.
The supply is unprecedentedly small
| Nearly ali the raisers in Southwestern Mis-
| souri, are under contract to furnish thcll
! stock at n certain price. How many of the
contracts are held by the big packers Is a
| matter Of conjecture, hut the free avail
| able supply Is, by reason Of these contracts
made SO small that one with sufficient capt
tai might secure control Of the situation
The presence Of the big packers in the
market is not In itself at all unusual, bal
! the apparent eagerncss with which they
I ATTEMPT to hull tho market wonld seem Il
| furnish ground for the suggestion thai
| manipulation is going on.
Both the Swift aud Armour houses dony
