Poultry and Game

The situation in dressed turkeys was most un-
satisfactory to the selling interests yesterday
In past years the 23d of December was the big
turkey day OF the season and receivers were ac-
customec to having large supplies on hand that
day. but yesterdays arrivals were remarkably
small and proved disappointment and sur
prise to the trade. According to the express
companys manifest early deliveries aggregated
so tons, but as this estimate was a rough one
and based on an average of $50 pounds to the
case, with no allowance made for the difference
In size OF cases, 1t is unlikely that there were
more than GO tons hand for the early trade
The Oregon express train which taps the prn-
cipal turkey raising country in this state and
Oregon and which was expected to bring one
half, If not more, Of the holiday supplies, ar
rived late. with a paitry IL tons. According to
the most liberal estimate therefore, the receipts
for the day were less than 100 TONS whereas in
past years three times that amount of local birds
has been handled on the big selling day. to say
nothing of the chilled stock brought from the
east Dealers were slow TO realize that there
was shortage yesterday, and the market opened
at 2ic pound. but soon jumped TO Soc which
was the ruling price until noon When It was
seen that stocks were running low prices were
advanced TO 31@32c. all of the late arrivals
finding buyers at those figures Unless subse-
quent receipts are large the market may be
higher today. Local live birds were higher in
sympathy with dressed, and eastern chilled stock
advanced to 24@27c a pound. There was not
much doing in chickens in game. but prices
In both lines were steady a rule.

but the approach of the holidays has brought
good demand for remittances. and the market
is now above par with strong tendency.
Silver reached the lowest point since the
closing OF the Indian mints, and sold as low as
4ies cents an ounce, but has since recovered
somewhat. Oriental exchanges based on silver
have generally followed the fluctuations of this
metal, and a good deal of speculative investment
has been made at the ruling cheap prices. The
future is still very uncertain and will very likely
remain SO until the heavy stocks of white metal
IN india and China have been disposed Of -
