New York, Nov. 22.-.As the result of a sudden invasion of the American market by Russian pouftryraen, com bined with an advance in the cost of poultry feed here, housewives have been enabled te cut living expenses iE at least one respect by buying ducks and chickens in the local down tcwn markets at from six to ten cents a pound cheaper than they were last year Half a dozen big ghipioads of ducks have arrived here recently from Russia and have sold at the wholesale rate of fourteen cents q pound as against quotations of two or three cents more for the domestic bird.
 This reduction has had sysnpa- thetic influence on the chicken market. which has also had a dropping ten dency because of the apparent disin- clinatfon of poultry raisers to keep feeding their stock eorn at sI-so bag Turkeys are aise lower than last year, but possibly because of the near ap- preach of Thanksgiving the decrease in
