Other IAnea Strong.
The TiianKislvfnfc turkey market closed
vcs.erdav with prices firm and a (rood clean
up Ail the choice stock was disposed of
t.v noon and the culls were worked off by
the close of business hours. Only belated
shipments today should flud a ready market.
No. 1 turkeys held at the previous days
quotation of 24 cents, and culls sold at 20
cnts. The talk of large receipts of Eastern
poultry had no effect on the market. The
retailers supplied their want early, and as
buying at retail was good yesterday, the
market men had no objection to paying the
pHces quoted on the street.
Dressed ducks and geese were also In
sharp demand and cleaned up at firm prices
The best ducks brought 20 cents and No. 1
Feese sold at 19 cents.
The live poultry market flattened out. as
usual at this tltne of year. There was some
demand for chickens, but live ducks and
geese and turkeys were hard to move.

SUES OF OREGON WOOL IN THE EAST
rreeeiit Situation, From Dealers' Standpoint,
IS Satlslactory.
Original wool sales at Boston in the past
week for Oregon, Wyoming. New Mexico.
Nevada. Arizona, Utah and Colorado Among
the sales of graded stock Is that of 26.000
pounds of fine heavy territory at IT cents.
Sales of original territory during the week
Included 75.000 pounds of Arizona wool at
prices ranging from 17 to 22 cents, a lot
nf original Colorado wool at 20 cents, and
2OO.000 p.iunds of original New Mexican at
20 cents.
Commenting on the outlook, the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says:
Tno sentiment of the market is very
cheerful, and considerable satisfaction Is
being expressed by dealer, at the prevailing
situation In wool trading. It Is practical y
Impossible to conceive of a more favorable
condition by which the wool trade could
better meet the prospective adverse condi
tions. The wool supply Is short and the
prospects are that under the most unfavor
able condition in the mills all the wool In
the market will be taken up some time
before the new clip is shorn and wool deal
ers will take care not to liuy from the grow
ers at prices that the manufacturer will be
unable to pay. and the change to lower
values will be at the expense of the wool
grower."
HOP PRICES AREJVITHOi;T CHANGE
Iw Activity in the I.oral Market Condi
tions Abroad.
There was less activity In .the hop mar-
ket vesterday. There was no subsidence of
the demand and growers were as willing to
sell as heretofore, but the buyers who have
been operating lately And their time taken
up now in taking In their recent purchases.
A. J. Ray at Son bought 3o0 bales at 11 to
1 2 cents.
The British Board of Agriculture has is
sued the following official report on the
trade-in the Borough during the week' end
ing November 13: Business this week has
been limited, the demand being slow, and

Some growths have been disposed of. but

recovery. Average prices arc as follows:

this time of the year, when the cold weather
approaches.

Bad Roads in the Country
May Mean Life or Death
Good roads mean to the farmer and town man what good
streetcar service means to the city man cheap and rapid
transportation all the year round.
During the Winter months mud roads are impassable. The
country doctor's fees are high because it takes him so long to
make calls and his own health is in danger.
Every breakdown, accident or injury to vehicle, beast or
produce adds something to the high cost of living in the cities.
Small, narrow-tired wagons,- instead of big auto freight
trucks, are now being used, and the cost of transportation is
therefore more than double what it ought to be.
Roads built on Portland cement concrete base provide hard,
- smooth surfaces and, therefore, cheap and rapid transporta
tion. . -
"Permament Construction" is a book published for all who
wish to know how to manufacture Portland Cement Concrete
and how to lay it properly. Follow the directions in this
book, or see that your contractor does it, and you will be abso
lutely certain of permanent improvements, which will not need
to be replaced in your time. This book is mailed free.
