two days receipts unloaded yester-
day the volume was barely equal
to an ordinary days receipts. All of
the stock. whether iced or otherwise,
arrives frozen. Trading was light be-
cause butchers had loaded up well
before the holiday and will not buy
much more until this morning. They
complain that consumption has fallen
off and it takes but little stock to go
around. Turkeys are becoming scarce
and are lower because of the coarse
condition. But few capons around,

mand. SQUADS are steady and guineas
dull. Quotations are: Turkeys, West
