Poultry md Came

Yesterdays arrivals of dressed turkeys ap-
proximated 400 cases, about 80 tons, a sur
prisingly large amount to come from local ship
ping points when the shortage around Christmas
time is considered. At the opening receivers
asked 30c pound for the best selections, but
buyers refused TO pay that figure and prices
for prime stock quickly receded to 27l2Sc. The
latter price was paid by small store keepers,
who took only few cases. the large market
men paying from 25c TO &c. Live birds were
in limited supply and found ready market at
satisfactory prices. Everything in the live
chicken line was in good request and the days
arrivals were cleaned up at stiff rates in short
time. Receipts from state points 80 coops
and car of western, making the fifth for the
week, received. Receipts OF game were
liberal, but there was a good market for sound
stock. Prices for wild ducks had a wide range
owing to the large number of thin birds received.

RcanN and Seeds

The bean report of Adolf KoshIand says
owing to the expected raise in eastbound
Irelgnt rates on January L there has been con-
siderable activity during the last few days, and
a number of orders came in for shipment before
the new rate goes into effect.
AS the market Is quiet, prices were not af-
Iected by this movement, and unless good de-
mand for actual consumption should come soon
after the first, there is no likelihood of an i'm
mediate improvement in prices.
Arrivals have been very light. Some lower
grades of white beans have been shipped out and
stocks OF this variety not heavy. The mar
