fancy stock to find favor. as with the
warm weather prevailing today live
poultry is preferred to dressed.
Choice to fancy turkeys bring As to
30 and fair to good 40 to As. while

Under prevailing weather condi-
tons the egg market is strictly day
to day market and prices change
rapidly, although values show a de
cline of only l cent a dozen from
oTening prices Monday. There is no
7pecial snap to the demand and I'M
less the weather turns colder prices
will probably ease off again next
rHek. The market closed today at
361a cents dozen for firsts in free
eases, but 1t takes strictly fresh stock
TO command top values. as all held
eggs have to be sold at a discount
