Mr.. Frank II. Davis, of Dover, disposed of
rumors that he was disgruntled with the Republi-
can party because of his defeat when a candidate
for Attorney General. Mr.. Davis will make many
new friends by his statement, and we have no
doubt that he will be properly rewarded for his
faithful service to the party when the time comes
that he may want a reward.

day, but a portion of the last car that came in
on the preceding day offering and dis
posed of at satisfactory prices without difficulty.

to over 60 coops. but with the demand for all
descriptions brisk the market remained firm,
with prices for largeN young chickens pointing
upward. Dressed turkeys were still in evidence,
but there was very little call for them. and only
prime stock brought anything like satisfactory
prices. Game was quiet, with all kinds of geese
quoted lower.
