Poultry A»r>GAM*.-The week has been a showy 
one for dressed stock, especially for turkeys. I he 
Christmas supply was elegant, and (hough prices 
were not high, ihey ran even owlug to the uniform 
good qua.iiy. The near South sent some very at¬ 
tractive dry-picked thia year, and there Is roomfcx 
repetitions. Geese seem to have lost their special 
Christmas call. A certain class of our foreign popu¬ 
lation used to form a valuable demand. Custom, 
however, has given place to economy, and the 
plump, tender turkey can be more readily ptaced at 
fair prices than bony or doubtful aged geese at 
Live poultry has no settled place In trade. Dressed 
can now be depended on as a regular receipt, ana 
tho weather ravors what has to be carried over.
