PRICE OF LAMB CUT
IN LOCAL MARKET
Fowls, Geese and Turkeys
Also Cheaper-Beef
Unchanged Today.

Poultry dealers are unable to fore
cast probable prices for poultry for
the Decoration day holiday outings
Spring chickens are always in de-
mand, and it is believed prices for
Q the approaching holiday will be high
Vt is probable that many consumers
will refrain from purchasing the ex-
pensive Springers, fowls and turkeys
being much cheaper. Should the
market become glutted. however
prices may take a drop.
Dealers expect a brisk market just
prior to Saturday for the reason that
large numbers of persons having cot
tageS or bungalows in the mountain
and river sections will want supplies
Tor at least two days.
Butter prices in the West advanced
I a cent or more yesterday, but local
dealers say the advance should not
anect the local market, the change
being only temporary. Price of lambs
decreased from Is and IS to 1o cents
