WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

There was more activity crowded into
the half days sales in the local pro-
ouce market this morning than there
was all day yesterday. Despite the
heavy sales Of yesterday and large ar
rivals last night. there were but few
turkeys or chickens left on hand when
the market closed at y o'clock.
As result ofJthe strong demand for
fowls. live and dressed. turkeys Jumped
up from one 20 three points, and chick
ems advanced In comparison The former
sold readily at from 1917 cents TO q
cents retail merchants gladly paying
the TOP figure for birds OF good size
and quality. Chickens brought all the
way from II TO 1914 cents, the highest
Squire they have reached for many
months.
Changes in other commodities were
practically unchanged. Game was again
plentiful this morning, and when in good
shape found a ready market. Sales OF

How does Aldrich stand?"
II is conceded that the Rhode Island
Senator, chairman OF the Finance Com

coming session OF Congress. He may
not get just what he wants. but there
is no doubt that he will prevent what
he seriously disapproves.

that he will have a bigger finger in the

other one man in either house OF Con-

as the most skillful and resOurceful tao
