Live Poultry Quotations.
The live poultry market shows little
| change from last weeks receipts OF
Spring chickens continue fairly liberal,
hut consists largely of undersized
stock, mainly White Leghorns, when
are not desirable. There is no over
| supply of mixed colored Sprlngers
weighing over 2 pounds, which move
out readily at SO to 3S a pound, ana
80 to 35 for smaller, but Whte Leg
horns will not bring over 20 TO zo,
as to quality and weight. Spring
chickens weighing under pounds
move slow even at the lower values
| quoted, and shipment not advisable
as they only tend to depreciate the
value of better class stock. While re-
CENTS of old hens have been only fair
the demand is easily satisfied and
centered principally on stock weigh
ing 3la pounds and up at FL to 20,
while lighter fowl and Leghorns are
slow sale at Is and 16. Old roosters
in ample receipt and dragsy at IL
to IS.
Young ducks continue in light re-
ceipt and fat stock showing quality
meets with ready sale at u to 30, but
ducks under pounds move slow at
20 to 25, while old ducks are neglected
at Is to 20. Pigeons in more liberal
receipt and values a shade lower at
20 to 80 a pair for both young and
old.
Cattle Market Steady.
The general live cattle market rules
steady to firm on most lines under
| moderate receipts, and a fairly good
demand prevails for first quality
stock, but all offerings Of under grade
cattle are slow to find favor even at
the lower values quoted.
Spring lambs in more liberal supply
and 1t takes choice stock to bring top
values, while poor, thin calves are
not wanted.
