POULTRY DEMAND
MARKET FEATURE
Turkey Supply Exhausted,
Causing Top-Notch
Prices.

Only a small amount Of business was
transacted in the wholesale market this
morning and quotations remained prac-
ticalIy unchanged from yesterday.
Demand fer poultry was again strong
and as arrivals continue light, choice
quality brought top prices. The turkey
market, especially, was active. The
stock of dressed turkeys has been pretty
well cleaned up and there is no i'm
mediate prospect of the quotation drop
ping.
Cattle was received IN light supplies
and prices remafa firm Demand was
unusually strong in the lamb market
and, from present indications, another
advance in the quotation is not unlikely.
Hogs are holding their own with other
classes Of live stock.
The egg market is growing weak and,
unless severe weather intervenes, lower
prices viii prevail shortly. The receipts
.Of eggs show a consider Die increase
and this, together with IL anxiety Of
holders OF storage STOCK to clean up,
causes a dUlluess In all -aaes.
