Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 14-The
live poultry market continues steady
under generally moderate receipts and
fairly good demand, but, with the ex-
ception of old hens, which show a de-
cline of cent a pound. values show no
change from last week. For choice
large SpringerS. 2la pounds and over,
there Is ready sale, but smaller size
chickens not SO desirable, and most of
the receipts consist of this class of
stock. Leghorrs weighing az pounds
and over in fairly good demand, but
too many small and poor fowl are ar
irving. and this class of stock Is not
wanted. Mixed colored Springers, IL
pounds and over, are selling at 80 to 40
cents a pound and smaller at IS to 80,
but Leghorns will not bring over "a to
80, and birds under IA pounds slow
sale at 20 to 80. Demand fairly good
for old hens, 312 pounds and over, at
81 to %, but Leghorns are slow sale at
II and 10. and all poor, thin fowl Is
neglected at IA and Is. Old roosterS in
ample supply and market dull and
draggy at 13 to Is. Only limited de-
mand prevails for ducks, and 1t takes
choice fat stock to bring top values of
1S to 20, while smaller ducks are not
wanted at any price. Market for guinea
fowl and pigeons holds steady at so to
rs each for the former and Is pair
for the latter.

readily at 500 to $50 a barrel for No.
Is. but No. stock not so desirable, at
$50 to ATS. Market for sweet potatoes
