BALTIMORE, Md, July 30.-The
hive poultry market rules generally easy
with some lines showing decline from
last week. Receipts continue liberal
especially of poor thin fowl, which is
hard to move, and values on Spring
chickens and pigeons show decline
buyers favor. Mixed colored Spring
chickens, pounds and over, finding
fair outlet at 10 and 20 cents a pound,
but 2 to 212 Founders not so desirable
at IA to Is, while white leghorns move
slow at IL to Is Shipment of Spring
chickens under pounds not advisable
as there is practically no outlet for
this class Of stock. Choice, fat old hens,
pounds and over, are bringing Is and
1s with smaller stock selling mostly
13 to Is and leghorns IL and II, but
all poor, light fowl under 312 pounds,
as well as old roosters, are hard to
move at 8 to 10. The weather con-
tinues too hot for any active movement
on ducks and only stock weighing Az
pounds and over attract attention at
II to Is, with poor thin ducks not
wanted at any price. Pigeons continue
in ample receipt and show a decline of
cents pair at 20 for old and Is to
20 for young.
The egg market continues easy and
unchanged from last week at 13 and
IA cents a dozen for current receipts
and 16 to 18 for hennery whites, 55
pounds to the case. but it takes well
graded, fresh laid stock to bring these
prices Too many Of the receipts from
nearby points show evidence Of having
been held and as buyers are very crit
ical as to quality at this time Of the
year all stock not grading first has
TO be sold at discount.
Season for old potatoes practically
over and demand now conferred on new
stock at 1.50 to It's barrel, but mixed
and ungraded stock is not wanted at
anv price.

den truck continues in buyers favor
