Poultry and Game.

The Poultry market rather steady con-
eidering the heavy receipts and the weak feel
ing Of the two preceding days. and there was
very little domestic live stock left hand at
the close Some large handlers were obliged
to cut prices of old chickens during the latter
part OF the week, but young stock remained
steady throughout owing to the extra demand
for the Chinese New Year celebration Two
cars .or Western stock came to hand yesterday,
making a total of eight received for the
week Only one car was hauled to the stores,
the others being held for Mondays market
California dressed Turkeys We're easier owing
to the competition of Eastern chilled stock
which was offering freely at quotations. There
were no changes in Game, the demand and

There is practically no Dried Fruit market
left, nor will there be any until the new crop

are in sufficient supply to make a market
Raisns show no feature worthy of remark and
the same may be said of Nuts. The Honey

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits.

There was some little extra buying of fresh
fruits for Sunday but it was not of sufficient
volume to affect the market and buyers had
everything their way. Twenty-one car
loads of Apples came in from the north during
the past week and there is enough OF that
fruit at hand to supply the market for a
whole month, to say nothing of the stock in
cold storage One two varieties of extra
fancy stock in 4-tier boxes readily command
the top quotation, but for the general run Of
supplies 81 25 is an extreme figure and large
buyers are able to fill their wants for less.
Receipts of Oranges have been light for some
days but there is an abundance Of all grades
on hand. -Four carloads. including the two
that were to have been sold on Friday, will be
auctioned tomorrow.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

Prime offerings of Burbanks continued to
meet with steady demand and receivers ex-
perienced no difficulty in disposing Of such
stock at full figures but low-grade lots OF
all table descriptions were slow OF sale at
sustained prices. There was practically no
market for common river Burbanks, which
were piled high on the wharves awaiting buy
ers There were no fresh arrivals of Sweets
and choice lots moved freely at the old quo
tations, while poor quality offerings could not
be sold at any price Onions were suddenly
frmer. available supplies being very light. Ad-
vices from Oregon say that the visible supply
in that State has been greatly reduced Of late
and the growers are holding out for high prices
at shipping points.
