Because of the better demand for turkeys there is scarcely any call for chickens at this time, but later on there may be an Improvement In select stock of the latter because of the scarc ity of best quality turkeys.

Or., Nov. 23. Shipments of turkeys to outside markets from 8a lem this week will not be heavy. The local market has started strong, rangint from 20 to 22 cents for best dressei turkeys. The local market must be sup Piled first and Dresent conditions in dlcste that as good if not better prices can be obtained at Salem by the raisers as at Portland. Best prices quoted hers uy r-oruaid mercnants are not constu ered attractive. Thrp nrp hnw.rpr fdr farniara that have already bargained ijith Port land mercnants for the delivery or large quantities or turkeys but It is expect-, eil shipments to Portland markets will be mucb below the average. Nearly ail turkeys raised in the vicinity of Salem will be consumed in the local markets. Those iwho raise turkeys near the smaller settlements will ship the most turkeys to the city and of the extent of those shipments Salem dealers are not In a position to Judge. It is thought the past season has been an average one for raising turkevs, but few farmers have paid much at tention to that side of the poultry in dustry. The labor is too bothersome end Income too uncertain to offer al luring Inducements to the average farm er of the valley, with his large fruit or bop Interests. So that it Is pretty gen erally estimated turkey shipments from the Immediate vicinity of Sa.em will not be large this week.

The livestock market wants good quality more than ever and Just now best stuff Is rather hard to get. Ftvet loads of California stuff were ready for the market this mor:,?ng. The steers wo in eiceueni snaye ana wtfignea close to 1,200 pounds on an average. They brought $4.26 for best and the market would have taken more at this figure. To be select the steers must weigh close to the figures shown by the California arrivals and but little of this quality Is now coming from local points. The best steers recently shown from northwest sections of late have not brought over $4 and medium steers have recently sold down as low as $3.60. While some low nrlces have been ef fective in the cattle market recently It was through no fault of the market for the tone just now Is quite good. The trade wants the best and Is willing to pay for It but because of the over supplies of ordinary and poor stuff the trade Is very discriminating In what It selects and pays for. While In some Instances It waa possible to secure top price for ordinary ..goods. It was not In a period similar to this when killers had too much ordinary quality and practically none of the stock that will be called top. Better Tone la Bbeep Market. While there was a fair run of sheep over Sunday, there Is still a scarcity In the local market.
