Waterbury Produce Market Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture B. P. Storrs. local agent)
Wednesdav. Dec. G!


 Low turkey prices for the Thanksgiving trade have resulted in a weaker and lower market for other kinds of poultry. Live fowl and chickens have not shown as much reaction as have dressed poultry prices, but the tone of the whole poultry market has develop ed an easier tendency following turkeys. Demand for poultry other than turkeys was reported much slower than normal during the holiday buying and this decreased followed by price reductions.
 The three leading winter vege- tables were firm and holding to price levels unchanged or higher today. Onions were firm at prices advanced to Monday, potatoes were but held firmly, and cabbage was fully as firm as potatoes although selling usually at unchanged prices. There were some reports of west ern New York shippers holding stocks for three to five dollars more per ton than late>last week.

T New York, Dec 6-(UP3-Profit- taking interrupted the rise on the stock exchange today. Yesterdays gains we're enhanced in the early trading and volume picked. up for a time. Then prices drifted down in many sections and the close was irregular.
 Railroad issues were the features of the session. That group register ed gains of fractions to more than |2 points in the early. dealings and held them. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy declared a dividend of $3 on it's. capital stock, a favorable factor for Great Northern prefer red and Northern Pacific which will participate. The latter rose more than point each. New York General, Illinois Central, Pennsyl- vania, Southern Pacific and South ern Railway also were in demand at higher prices.
 Utilities were bid up during the morningf led by Consolidated Gas which reached 38 3-8 up 5-S. They turned dull later and eased to small net losses. Steels also gave ground after an early advance. Wet stocks met profit-taking dur ing the entire day now that repeal actually is here. Case held steady in the farm section along with wheat. Cola mining issues declined as did the silver group. Motors and motor equipments were relatively active.
 Several issues made new highs for the year, including Johns Man vile, Hazel Atlas Glass, Monsanto Chemical, and Hercules Powder. Chemical were higher in the morn- ing with Allied and Du Pont near their highs, but they eased later and closed slightly lower.
 Automobile issues were buoyed up by prospects of big year in 1884. There has been a slight letup in operations recently because of lack of tool equipment due to strikes, but higher production is looked for shortly. Small gains were made today by Hudson and Chrysler, while General Motors ruled steady. Moto Meter ruled firm in active turnover.
 Indications of a pickup in rail- road buying of equipment brought firmer tone into the railroad equipment stocks but this group. like the general market, failed to pickup in activity. Baldwin was bid up fractionally and others of the group made small gains.
 News from the steel industry was encouraging in that orders in fai1- ly large amounts were anticipated from the railroads. The slight dip in automobile steel buying was ex- pected to be only temporary.
 Better earnings for the mail order companies aided their shares, and chain Store issues profited by advances of 3 to 26 per cent for their companies over 1892. De- partment store sales have been holding well and gains are looked for in the Christmas shopping fig ureS.
 Communication issues held well to-day as further talk of mergers was circulated. Radio lowered around the previous close as did Western Union and International

Early Trading Helped Boon, Things For Time
Railroad Issues Were the Features of the Session
 Utilities Were Bid Up in Morning

Telephone. American Telephone which would not be involved in any merger, lost 1 E point to close at IF.
 The dollar rallied to-day, but dealings in foreign exchange were light and little interest was shown in that line. Bonds were higher in the domestic corporation sec- ton, notably the railroad issues. U. s. government loans eased mod erately but there was no real pres sure to sell at any time.
 Wheat close dup h to 4 cent; corn lost slightly. oats gained B to h cent. Cotton, rubber and silver declined small amounts.
 Stocks sales today totaled 1,440,- 900 shares as against 100000 shares yesterday. Curb sales today totaled 228,000 shares as against 235,00O shares yesterday.

CITY MAY LEASE
 CARY PROPERTY
Council FavOrs Establish=
 ing Municipal Airport s. KOWalSki Dies
(1Orrington Correspondence)


 At recent meeting, the city council went on record as being in favor of establishing a munic- ipal airport in this city, in view of the fact that it will put about 75 men to work in addition to the local CWA quota.
 It is probable that the Cary field will be leased by the city for at least five-year term, and that the property would be developed with government funds. The field will be available for the use of general public and transient air. planes free of charge, and Mir Cary will be given the exclusive right to use it for local commercial pur- poses.
 If the Cary field is developed, Torrington would be provided with a place suitable for the landing of large commercial, private and na- tional guard airplanes.
 Men Selected for CWA Projects The greater part of the number of men who are to be given em- ployment under the new CWA projects in this city have been se- lected by John Longhi manager of the county federal employment office, and representative of char 1 ity and welfare organizations. These men-numbering about 3O0-have been ordered to report at the city barn for physical ex- aminations, after which they will be assigned jobs. The projects which include park and road inn provements-are expected to start immediately.

New York, Dec 6-(UP)-l want to be as modest as possible about being the first man in the United States to have d legal drink in Is years. It didn't involve much ef- fort outside of fast elbow work. The bartender handed me the glass when the flash came across the bar and l flung it head-on at my teeth. The time, I am told, was precisely two and one-half seconds.
 To me it was a joyous moment. I drowned the noble experiment in Scotch and soda, my favorite drink. Why is it my favorite drink? Because I can drink more of it. and feel good, than any other drink. If the country would stick to Scotch, dry wines and beers, there would be no digestive trou- bles. I'm sorry to admit that l have them, but the years are be- ginning to tell on me. certainly slowed it away in my time.
 am emphatically opposed to all these fool regulations. If liquor r not made as seay to purchase and as cheap as food, the speak easy and the bootlegger will re- main with us. amGfor the return

 John Daniel Kinney was born in Aristo county, Maine in 1865, and while still in his teens came to the Northwest, where he engaged in the logging industry, becoming a partner in a logging camp on the Snohomish river. He sold out and went to DaWsoon in 1897, worked lay there and was quite successful In 1900 he returned to the States, and with his brother, developed a borax deposit in Neva- da. This work soon palled on his adventurous nature, and Alaska called him back. This time he prospected on the Kuyokuk, and mined there until 1907, when he came to the Iliamna country, where he has remained, engaging in prospecting, a little mining, fur trapping and trading. His last venture was fur farming.
 MT. Kinney leaves a host of friends to mourn his loss, among whom is his wife and daughter, Rose Dolly Kinney He was a true Alaskan in every sense of the term.
