CHICKENS HIGHER;
TURKEYSDEC[|NE
Fairly Large Shipments of
Rabbits Moving Well.
Meats Are Steady.

Spring chickens, low last week, due
to heavy receipts without correspond
ing increase in demands, advanced
several cents yesterday and today.
Turkey prices took slight drop.
Dealers are receiving fairly large
shipments of rabbits from nearby
states and distant points, the trapped
stock being in particularly good con-
dition, while some of the shot rab-
bits have anything but an attractive
appearance.
Consumers are willingly buying both
classes of rabbits, however, prices de-
pending entirely upon size and condi-
tion of the game. Good stock is bring
ing advanced prices, retailers asking
as much as IS to 80 cents for them.
A continued firm condition of the
butter and egg market was reported
this morning, meat prices remaining
about the same as those reported yes
terday. Snow early this morning did
not interfere with trade or keep re-
tailers from reaching market at the
usual early hours.
