ceipts of all commodities were very
good The activity OF the market is
a forerunner Of an excellent Christmas
market
Turkeys and chickens. both live and
dressed. started to go up. and It, IS
prophesied that figures will come near
TO reaching the highwater mark they
did before and during the Thank sgiving
holidays. Receipts Of POULTRY we're es-
pecially good. Arrivals or game picked
up very noticably. and were better this
morning than for several days. A
ready market was found for all stock
in good condition.
There was little change in green fruits
and vegetables. Grapes were not 10
be had for any price. the supply having
given cut completely. Large shipments
Of cranbcrrics forced the price down
