 yesterday, declining to 103sc.
 The Saturday before Christmas found Morris avenue in a mad rush, endeavor- ing to fill all orders Things began to hum yesterday morning with the rising sun and not until night had settled good and fast did this always busy mart set tie down.
 Probably the greatest change in prices was the drop in live turkeys, the birds dropping from 15c and 17e per pound to Pc and He per pound. Dressed ones are selling at 16dl7c.
 Hens experienced a slight increase in value, jumping from 3OdS5e to 45e per pound. Broilers declined from 15425e to 10Q20c per pound. Broners are not much in demand and the commission merchants find them hard to dispose of.
 eMats, local staples and flour, meal and feedstuffs held their own, no changes being noted.
 One Of the local brokers has announced that he will have a carload of straw berries here for Christmas. As soon as this information spread around the ave- nue he began to receive orders and will undoubtedly dispose of all of them as soon as they are received. The berries come from Florida and will demand good price

Chicaqo Change.

Chicago, December 21.-(Special.)-If any one thought the increased acreage of wheat harvested this year, as diss covered by the government at this late date and published yesterday, was req son for feeling bearish on the market they certainly concealed their idea on Nthe subject at the opening. Prices for May wheat opened from ss O ssc higher han they closed the day.

London Stock Market.

London, December 21.-The stock ex- change has been comparatively idle and almost without feature during the past week. This has been due principally to the indisposition to engage in fresh ven- lures prior to the holidays.
 Moderate investment buying served to put first-class securities fractionally high CT on the week, but the quotations on speculative issues were barely maintained In the foreign section, Argentine rail- roads attracted the most attention In American shares the market has been quite professional, with a movement of see-saw character, which received an ad- vance of about point on the week. Out siders held aloof because of the unset tied monetary outlook, and trade depres- Sion, which more than offset the few sat isfactory dividend announcements, and the optimistic representatives published In various quarters Today, however, prices were the affection over parity and closed firm in anticipation of a good bank state- ment in New York
 Money supplies are gradually shrinking with the increased year end requirements and discounts continued firm.
 As was expected, the Bank of England made no change in it's rate of discount, which, 1t Is announced, will remain per cent so long as the stringency In Germany and America lasts.
