Poultry dealers continue to report an active
market. and with receipts of both local and
western stock running light. prices for every
thing on the list rule firm, and occasional sales
of small young chickens, which are in better
demand than anything else, are reported at n
small premium. Dressed turkeys are still in
evidence, but the offerings represent the tail
end of the supplies in the country and are
not of very good quality. Game continues to
find prompt sale at satisfactory prices.
