LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Turkeys for the New Year dinner
were in demand today. Saturdays
turkey market was not so brisk, and
prices dropped considerably. This
morning prices were the same as
those of Saturday, 40 cents for
choicest stock.
A Accent wholesale market should
make nothing over a 50-cent price in
the retail market, dealers suggested.
There were abundant supplies
of chickens, ducks and keats in mar
ket this morning, with no change in
prices since Saturday.
