Mr. Miller has accepted the position

Because Of the shortage Of the local
supply OF chickens. which has been
matter Of concern for some time, some of
the largest dealers in this city have entered
into negotiations with parties in Baltic
more 20 help make up the deficiency.
The first Baltimore chickens arrived this
week and were readily disposed Of.
While these chickens are bought In
Baltimore. they are from Tennessee, where
chicken raising is conducted on an extern
aiye scale. Baltimore has been receiving
these chickens for some time, and iorm-
erly the supply was 90 plentiful that tho
prices were considered low, but other
cities, In addition to Wilmington, have
turned to that market for assistance and
the prices are somewhat higher than for
merly, when the iarmera depended en-
tirely on the local demand
Under the present arrangement tho
chickens shipped from Baltimore bring 10
cents a pound. at wholesale. not counting
the freight. which brings the figures up TO
about the price of local fowls. 10 Is
deemed advisable however, 60 make this
arrangement IN view of the fact chat the
demand is heavier than the supply, If
depended upon locally. The ruling price
l here. for live chickens. is 8 cents "a pound.
Z To this is ndded two cents for dressing
making the dressed chickens II cents al
/ wholesale The retail price ranges from
is TO 20 cents q pound.
The Tennessee chickens are sent TO
Baltimore alive They ore killed and
dressed in Baltimore and prepared for
shipment reaching here the day they
are killed or the following day The
meat is practically the same as the meat
Of local chickens the difference not being
noticeable 10 the average person.
The shortage of nearby fowls is due tc
the abnormal demand of the past few
months and the fact that comparatively
few we're raised last year. A larger supply
is looked for this year
