TURKEYS CLEAN UP
Firm Prices Rule in the Local
Market.
SHIPPING BUSINESS GOOD
Cily netailer Buy Most of Their
Supplies in the Country Poultry
of Other Kinds Plentiful.
Lire Fowls in Demand.
Front-street Jobbers received more tur
key yesterday than they did Monday,
thnurh the total receipts for the city were
probably not larger. There tu consider-
able activity on the street and practically
everythlnr cleaned up before the close of
business hours. The tone of the. market
was strong- throughout. Prices ranged from
SO to 23 cents according to quality. most of
the sales of choice turkeys being around
24 cents.
As was the case Monday, a considerable
portion of the supply received was disposed
of in outside market!, and more would
have been sold on shipping account had
prices not been so high. Buying by local
retailers was rather light. Many of them
secured their supplies In the country and
others put off their purchasing until today
In the hope that there might be a break
In prices, which is not likely, unlessthls
morning's receipts are heavier than ex
pected. A feature of the trade was the large
quantity of dressed poultry, other than tur
keys, received. Dressed geese were particu
larly plentiful and It was with some diffi
culty that the big supply was moved at the
quoted price, 15 cents. Dressed chickens
were offered at 13 cents.
Live poultry worked off fairly well. Most
sales of chickens were at 11 cents and the
same price was quoted -on geese. Ducks
were firm at 16917 cents. There was not
much doing in live turkeys.
WHEAT MARKET OF HOUDAI T1TE

was no change In the wheat situation.
There Is some Inquiry here from Mexico

Grocery Notes,
Southern advices are of a shortage of
stocks of gallon apples which are causing
prices to advance.
Eastern starch haa declined and Eastern
-rups are also quoted lower.
Beans and rice are steady.
The Eastern sugar market ts weak, but
the condition is ignored by the California
la now estimated that the total park
pf canned peas for 1S08 will be little In
excess of 4.500.000 cases. It is reported from
some sections that the seed supply for the
ISO crop will run considerably below the
requirement of the canners. and this fea
ture la expected to operate against a normal
pack next season.
Efgs Are Moving Slowly.
If there Is any Increase In the egg produc
tion It Is not shown by the current re
ceipts, which are running very light. There
is no doubt that a considerable part of the
eggs produced in the valley are being bought
up by Seattle houses. The small local re
ceipts, however, seem sufficient for the de
mand, and 41 cents Is now quoted as top
on the atreet for fresh ranch stock.
Butter is in light supply and firm. Prices
nave made another advance In the East.
There was no change In the cheese market.
Fresh Produce in Demand.
There was a very active city and ship
ping demand for fruits and vegetables yes
terday. Oranges continued prominent be
cause of their firmness. The day's receipts
Included a car each of oranges and celery.
Celery was quoted Arm and higher at fit?
4 60. Small California vegetables, of which
a shipment was received by steamer, show
advances all along the line.
Bents Buys West Side Hope.
The only business reported In the hop
market yesterday was the purchase by H.
L. Bents of about 500 bales on the West
Side, but It was not known locally what
lots were bought or what prices were paid.
There were no advices of any kind from out
side markets

BOSTON. Dec. 22. Quietness still obtains
in the local wool market, but prlcea hold
firm, although a ellghtly easier tendency Is
noted In the poorer grades. I.ocal houses
state that their bins are cleaned up better
than at any corresponding period for several
years. The supply of good domestic wool is
so small that quotations are scarce. Fine

DAY OF MANY RUMORS
Security Values Affected by Stories
of Absorptions and Combinations,
Mostly by Harriman Short
Covering Helps the Rise.
NEW YORK. Dec. 22. There was some
shrinkage of activity in the stock market
today in connection with the recovery, but
the closing was very active and the tone
buoyant at the top prlcea
The feature of the market was the cir
culation of rumors of proposed absorption
and combination of railroad systems. E. H.
Harriman, whose supposed critical condi
tion of health figured In the imagination of
speculators yesterday In connection with
their heavy selling of stocks, resumed a
very robust condition of activity today and
was permeating the railroad map of the
country with his projects of combination
and transformation.
On the other hand It was confidently as
sumed that he was planning the rehabili
tation of the Wabash system and devising
Its combination with some outlet, prefer
ably the Lackawanna or the Erie. In an
other quarter the retirement of President
Newman from the New York Central might
be opening the way for Mr. Harrtman's
expected entry Into formal activity In that
property. An Incident was to be the hitch
ing up of the Toledo. St. Louis A Western
with the New York Central lines for a new
connection Into the Southwest.
There was great activity in all the securi
ties of the Missouri, Kansas A Texas, fol
lowing the present assumption that the
sale of the Colorado 4 Southern to the
Chicago. Burlington & Qutncy was a fair
Index of what was to happen to other
Southwestern railroads with a Gulf out
let and eligible for combination with
Northern and Northwestern roada Opinion
halted between Chicago Alton and Chi
cago. Milwaukee A St. Paul as the most
probable absorber of this system, but that
It would be one or the other there was
nn room for doubt.
These' were the most Important and the
most plausible of the rumors In circula
tion and they will serve as examples of the
tendency of the day s speculation. The bril
liant advance In the price in the market
value of the Colorado 4k Southern mortgage
securities with the assurance of such power
ful ausplcea for the affairs of the com
pany as the Burlington, offered an attrac
tive proof of the advantage to accrue from
such arrangements.
A considerable short interest has been
built up In the market in the course of
the sharp fall In prices which haa occurred
since last week, and buying to cover was
a help to the advance. This -was In evi
dence In the rise of the Missouri, Kansas
Texas, for which stock there had been
purchased apparently large options in the
long market. A lively demand from that
point today testified to the effect of the
sudden advance in the price and empha
sised It.
The money outlook and the coming tarlftT
revision still entered Into the current dis
cussion, but with not such effect as the
reports yesterday of Mr. Carnegie's testi
mony In the tariff hearing. Nearly 9750,000
of gold waa engaged to go forward to
Paris tomorrow and the Subtreasury con
tinues to absorb quantities from the banks
with the' prospects of this drain Increasing
toward the end of the week because of sub
scriptions to Panama Canal bonds. The
reaction In the foreign market was an
effect of the gold shipment and also, it
Is believed, of some buying of- stocks for
London account. Requirements are not yet
covered, however, for payments of Interest
and dividends to foreign holders of our se
curities and remittances on this account are
expected to hold up the exchange rate uutil
the sailing of the last steamer available to
make delivery before New Year's. The
tranquil and rather easier tone of the call
money market deprived the subject of
disturbing Influence.
fiends were strong. Total sales, par
value, 910.004.0O0. United States bonds were

Quoted Lower. ,
SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 22. (Special.)
The demand for turkeys on Western avenue
has exceeded all expectations and if It con
tinues up to Chrletmas the supply will not
be adequate to meet the requirements. Deal
ers today sold double what they expected to.
Prices were very firm, but no higher. Four
more carloads are expected In tomorrow, but
their arrival Is not expected to have any
effect on the market.
Four cars of apples and six of potatoes ar
rived. Apples sell exceedingly well at out
side prices for fancy stock. A car of cran
berries reached the street unexpectedly late
last night and assures an ample supply for
the holidays. Dealers did not hold out for
the outside price today and many sales were
made as low as 91. although a few tried
to get 916.
Eggs were fairly Arm today at 44 to 86
cents.
Wheat was quiet and unchanged. The hay
market Is weak on heavy receipts of Mon
tana and Idaho stock.

pit was not of large volume, but sentiment
was tulllsh throughout the entire day. Tho
strength of the markets at Minneapolis and
Duluth was the chief factor in the situa
tion." The firmness of the Northwestern
markets was due mainly to the continued
falling off In receipts. Arrivals at those two
points today were 250 cars against 436 cars
the corresponding day. a year ago and ad
vices received today forecasted still smaller
receipts In the near future. An advance
of to d in the price of wheat at Liver
pool had a strengthening Influence early in
the day. Shorta were active bidders for
December delivery and that option was rel
atively stronger than the more distant
months. The market closed firm with May
at 91.06 and July at 98c.
Corn was firm nearly all day. Cash corn
at the sample tables was up' c. The mar
ket closed firm with prices up to c.
