LIVE POULTRY-The market is
badly disturbed, and no regular prices
were made by receivers. Two cars
were sold at auction, bringing as high
as 20Ac for fowls. The only quotable
prices are those made by the auction.
Trading is light and prospects not
good for high close. fowls, 20n
20i4c ROSTERS. old and young, 1Sc;
geese, Western and Southern, 12Isc.
DRESSED POULTRY-The market
Is still unsatisfactory. Some dealers
are looking for a break. especially in
frozen stock. Not much fresh killed
Is coming. and nothing but heavy
fowls are wanted. But little nearby
poultry Is in evidence, with the eX-
cepton of squads, which are plenti-
ful and weak. Frozen turkeys are
still high and scarce.
