" The Chronicle last week quoted 3] 18c. for turkeys. 12c. for geese. 12c. n for duzcks. 11c. for chickens. and be. S for fowl. The prices paid by the 4 city buyers were from 18 to 20 for turkeys. v2 to 14 for geese and a ducks. 112 to 14 for chickens. and 7 'f to 10 cents for fowl. These prices It were based on quality. and the 3- lowest price named in each was 31 the price generally paid. Consid- it ering Christmas time. and the ie.large city demand for fowl of all ct kinds. we think our local men made a good showing. It must as be remembered also that the city 1e buyers had many of their orders n- booked. knew before hand thei to disposition they would make of.‘ up their purchases. and were taking llS no chances. i a In this respect they differed *\\' from the local buyers. who haVc to depend wholly on the commis- nd sion merchants. and accept the prices when the goods reach the -._.f- city dealt-rs.
