Heavy Receipts Are Big Help
to Buyers-Prices or Beef
Unchanged.

A reduction in poultry prices was
the interesting feature of the days
market, and dealers think still lower
prices will prevail in the near future
Heavy receipts are said to be respon
sible.
Large Spring chickens were quoted
at So and So, medium at 80 and 80 and
small white Leghorns at q and 28
Very few turkeys are being received
and dealers hesitate to give quota
tions. They did mention 25 for live
and 80 for dressed, however.
