butter went 2 or points higher than
the preceding week, and this morn
ing were 1 point above last weeks

vance. Shipments of poultry were lib
eral. Smooth. fat chickens were In good
demand. as were also turkeys. Dressed
chickens and fowls, in sympathy with
live, declined. but the market was
steady at the prices quoted. The cattle
