 arived on trk., but will not be unloaded till 

 to-morrow.

 Very little fresh-killed poultry here of any 

 description, a few lots of fowls went at 

 18%019e, but large fowls are difficult to 

 strain up to 18 %c. Old roosters scarce and 

 firm. Squabs a trifle easier and only fancy- 

 exceeding $4 on an 8-lb. average. There 

 were a few lots of frozen fowls thrown on 

 the market and he.'d up to 10c, but buyers 

 are reluctant to pay that price, and very 

 little business reported. Frozen roasters 

 held with more confidence. Frozen turkeys 

 active.
