Consumption Of
Chickens Heavy
. PORTLAND, Apr. 20 m Con
sumption of chickens Is reported tho
greatest within the history of the In
dustry. This Is the direct result of
the extremely low price list ruling for
light weight hens and broilers. Both
are practically quoted at the lowest
price In the history of the local trade
since chickens wore sold by tho pound
Instead of by tho dozen.
With a 0o market generally estab
lished for light weight hens and 12c
for light weight broilers, tho extromo
low values have attracted attention
of consumers. . ,
Demand fo heavy weights remains
of fair volume , with practically no
change In the price list during re
cent days. The JowlBh holidays aro
likewise a factor In tho heavy hen
market. . .
Owing to tho less favorable quality
new lower prices are boJng named on
dressed turkeys.

trifle better, tho oast is not so anxi
ous to bid tho dime as It was a week
ago. s
In the mcantlmo shearing of goats

the federal markot bureau.
