The dressed poultry market cleaned
up fairly well. but owing 10 the warm
weather prevailing prices had TO be
shaded considerably, especially on
heavy gobblers ana old toms, for
which the demand was limited and
this stock had 10 bt sold low, mostly
in a iobbing way. rhe market closed
quiet today and values uncertain,
there being considerable poor stock
carried over. Oyng TO the warm
weather prevailing today the outlook
for dressed poulry next week is
rather uncertain and unless the
weather turns col, shipments of live
instead of dresser stock are advisable.
The live poultrynarket held up hetver
and closed steaFy with stocks fairly
we'll cleaned up except on large COB
blers and old tons. which were in ex-
cessive receipt and had to be carried
over. Young hen turkeys moved out
readily and prces held fairly firm at
IS to AZ, but On old toms and crooked
buyers than 1rice.

prices had u be shaded. Heavy, fat
Oil hends, "a pounds and over, also
were in fair demand at 32a25, but all
other stocks moves slowly. As a rule
demand foi poultry slumps after the
holidays and shipments should be
limited next week. The egg market
rules STEADY aIl week under only fair
receipts and demand fairly active for
new laid native and nearby stock.
The market closed today at 43 cents
a dozen for frsts in free cases and
3sa4l for current receipts in free
ca ses. White potatoes have been in
light receipt the past week, and un-
der an improved demand the market
rules firm and values a shade higher
for well graded round stock There
is a good demand at l.75a2.00 per 100
pounds. but McCormicks and reds will
not bring over Local. 30. while barreied
