Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, July 19.-The live
poultry market shows an easier tone
under liberal receipts and white mixed
colored Spring chickens, 212 pounds ana
over are moving out readily, smaller
stock is slow sale and the market gen.
orally in buyers favor. Most of the
receipts of Spring chickens being under
sized are slow to move at outside prices.
Too many small Leghorns are arriv-
ing, which are hard to move, and bare
back chickens being Disseminated
against and have to be sold strictly on
merits at sharp discounts. Mixed col
ored Springers, pa pounds and over
meet with ready sale, 20 to "a cents a
pound, but smaller will not bring over
IS to 80. Leghorns are in fairly good
demand at 20 to "a for stock weighing
2 pounds and over, with smaller stock
neglected at II to 10. Old hens in
liberal receipt and more than ample
for trade wants, consequently, the mar
ket rules easy under only a fair de-
mand at 20 to 26 for. stock weighing
3la pounds and over, but Leghorns will
not bring over IL and 49,, while all
poor, thin fowl is neglected at IA to IS.
Old ROSTERS in ample supply for the
demand, which is limited at IA to 16.
Only full-feathered young ducks attract
attention and with demand limited the
market rules easy at 10 to % for stock
weighing pounds and over, while
smaller stock is not wanted at any price.
Pigeons continue In liberal receipt and
the market is easy at 25 cents q pair
for old and is to 20 for young.
With little trading on the exchange
and sales confined mostly to street sales,
the egg market has a firmer tendency
on fresh laid stock, which shows an in
crease OF cent dozen over opening
prices Monday. With the warmer
weather prevailing, most of the arrivals
are showing losses under the candle
and this class of stock is slow TO find
favor even at current receipts prices.
Buyers are very critical as to quality
at this time of the year and prompt
shipments are advisable to realize best
results. The market closed today at
% cents dozen for nearby firsts, but
current receipts will not bring over 20
cents.
New potatoes in moderate receipt, but
ample Tor the demand, which is light,

undesirable cattle, weighing 1000 Il
1900 pounds, which sold at Z to
cents, but cattle of first quality are il
