Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, March Sin
sympathy with other leading markets
as well as to ample receipts from all
points, the egg market continues easy
in tone and values show further de-
cline of nearly cents a dozen. With
all receipts being sold as current re-
ceipts, sales on the exchange have been
light, owing to the fact that most OF
the receipts are of mixed stock and
consequently cannot be sold as firsts.
The market closed today at 1234 cents
a dozen for current receipts from all
sections, with small pullet eggs not
wanted at any price. Duck eggs, how
ever. continue in good demand and
the market holds steady at % cents
a dozen for nearby, large, clean stock,
but small or dirty eggs move slow at 18.
Poultry Prices.
The live poultry market holds steady
on practically all lines with the excep-
ton of old hens and geese, but it takes
large, fat stock of all kinds to bring
top values. Turkeys continue in light
receipt with a fair demand prevailing,
but centered on smooth fat, young hen
turkeys at 80 to 80 cents a pound, and
gobblers, % to 25, but old hens and
large gobblers at 20 and crooked breasts
at Is and 16 are hard to move out.
Medium to large, smooth, young chick
ems continue in fairly good demand,
especially broilers at % and %, but
LeghornS are not SO desirable at ID

as bare backs. neglected at II and 13.
Demand for old hens is easily satisfied
and the market shows slight decline
at Is to 18 for fowl weighing 3l3
pounds and over and Leghorns, Is and
is, but all poor, light fowl as well as
old roosterS are hard to move at ii
to 13. Young ducks, Az pounds and
