Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 12.-
Shipments Of poultry for the Thanks
giving holiday should be timed to reach
here not later than November 81 for
live and the following day for dressed
stock, as the rush of business on
Thanksgiving eve will keep commission
men too busy to handle receipts that
day In shipping dressed poultry only
choice, fat birds should be shipped and
particular attention should be paid to
see that the animal heat is out of the
body before packing. Turkeys, of course,
will be the principal attraction and only
large, fat birds should be shipped, with
bead and feet on, which are preferred
bn this market.
