Turkey Supply Is More Lib
eral, and Prices Drop
Accordingly.

Increased shipments resulted in tile
drop Of ! cent pound in all grades Of
live and dressed turkeys this morning.
Not in two weeks mas the poultry mar
ket presented as normal conditions, and
quotations are expected to so still low
er by the end Of the week.
Bidding began early on poultry with
the receipt Of thirty barrels If dressed
turkeys, chickens, and geese by one
Of the large commission houses. Two
barrels of turkey hens sold at IS cents,
opening the market at that price. After
that, the quotation huCtuated consider
ably i'm the sales made.
Dressed geese advanced hair a cent,
several barrels going at 1919 cents a
pound The highest price brought Sat-
urday was y cents. With the falling
off ina the dressed turkey market, live
turkeys also dropped I cent. The ad-
vance in dressed geese was not notice
able in live poultry Of that class.

stock remained the same, although they
are expected to gradually decrease dur
ing the week with the weakening Of the
turkey market Lambs We're strong

etable market as sufficient shipments
