With the exception of ducks and
geese the general live poultry market
rules steady with a fairly good de-
mand prevailing for choice fat stock.
Turkey Market Better.
Market for live turkeys has shown
some Improvement the past week un.
der lighter receipts and the demand
is increasing as the Thanksgiving
holiday draws closer. and prices hold
firm at 38 and 40 pound for young
turkeys s pounds and over, but old
stock not so desirable at 35 to 3S.
Large smooth fat springers in good
demand at % and leghorns at % but
poor thin fowl is neglected at IL and
is. Old hens pounds and over

as well as leghornS are slow sale at
Is to II, while old roosterS are draggy
at ii and Is.
Demand fair for large fat ducks 4
pounds and over at % to "a, but
lighter fowl will not bring over II and
IS. Fat young geese in fairly good
demand at % to 20. Guinea fowl ard
pigeons steady at 40 to 80 each for
the former, and 20 to 80 a pair for

dressed poultry and unless the cool
weather prevailing today continues
next week, shipments are not advis-
able as the market still prefers live
stock.

Receipts of native and nearby strict

there has been no offerings on the
egg exchange this week, business be-
ing confined entirely to street sales.

premium of to cents Il dozen over
quotations. Current receipts ample
for trade wants, and market generally
slow at 40 to AZ cents dozen in free
cases.
Receipts of white potatoes have
been liberal the past week and with
the demand easily satisfied the mar

for No. 2's, while sack potatoes sell
mostly 75a1.90 per 100 pounds, as to
quality and size. Receipts of sweet
potatoes and yams have been exces-
sirS the past week, especially from
the Eastern Shore, and the market
rules dull and easy under a slow de-
mand at 1.25a2.00 barrel for the for
mer and 1.50a1.75 a barrel for the
latter. All stock, however. must grade
