were quoted for peas and lima beans. Receipts
of tomatoes showed marked falling of but the
market was still overburdened with stock pre-

Poultry and Game

Yesterdays arrivals of poultry from state ship
ping points were large being well above 10C
coops. and consisted largely of understood hens
for which there little sale even at round
concessions. Fat heavy hens and all kinds OF
young chickens were in good request and kept
we'll cleaned up at firm prices Turkeys were
distinctly weak, with no one quoting over CSC a
pound for large young birds. and sales at that
figure were slow. Game arrivals were 76 sacks
of which 81 contained wild ducks and the bal.
ance geese. hare and rabbits. Wild ducks were
in urgent request and were rapidly closed ont
but the quotations had wide range, as most OF
the birds were thin and bony. Geese and rabbits
