The few remaining dressed turkeys held along Front street yesterday and today were quickly cleaned up at top prices for best birds, and other grades ruled accordingly. The market this year closed In better shape and with higher valuea to producers than ever before. The way turkeys sold was a aurprlse to the trade In seneral. Re ceipts were somewhat more liberal than expected, put this had no visible effect upon the market, for there were prac tically no turkeys remaining in storage for the Christmas trade. That the re tailers themselves were surprised as well aa were the Front street handlers is thus noted by the big buyers: Joe Green of Mace's "We had no cold storage turkeys at all, and this fact alone caused a larger demand for the fresh birds than would have otherwise been the case.- The' aeneral nubile did not believe that there wre not heavy stocks of storage blrda on hand. Even Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, market Inspector for the city, thought that the markets were full of them. After making an examination of the entire building she told me that she had not found a single one. xnis iaiK or storage Dirds hurts the trade, but everything went off all UK"!-- Mr. Goodwin of Dresser's-Sealy- Mason Co. -"Trade In turkeys for Christmas was quite good and every thing was cleaned up. There waa no cold storage stock offered." Mr. Friedman of Franklin-Barnes market "Christmas turkey trade was heavy .and as there was no cold stor age atock the fresh stuff moved off bet ter than expected." Chloken Market Is Tair. While the tone of the chicken market is not yet strong there is a slightly bet ter feeling. Dressed stock sold thli morning along the street at lS016o a pound. - juggs are weakening somewhat and in eome quarters stocks are showing an ac cumulation. While he general price along the street remains at 40o the stocks are not moving fast enough and some of the trade Is cutting 1 to 2e below that figure. General reduotlons are likely on Monday unless there is a radical cnange in tne situation. In the butler market a steady tone Is ruling for best known makes, but there is increasing easiness in ordinary graaes. Idaho Bays Stager Cheaper. Still further discrimination against Oregon, California and Idaho consumers and the trade' Is shown in today's an nouncement of a 6o reduction in the price of Idaho firms, deliverable at San Francisco. This markes the discrimina tion against the three coast states 70o per loo pounds. Brief Botes of Tront Street Trade. Jim- Pincua, of Isaac Plncus & Sons of Tacoma, is In the city.

While there remain very good prices In all lines' the .buying is not very aggressive for, the reason that buyers are waiting until after the turn of the year oeiore lining up witn supplies. Packing operations are on a very small scale over the holidays and there fore for that reason alone there la likely to be but small demand for the hogs In the yards until after January 1.

This is given out In answer to the warning la- sued to the public by Fred G. Buchtel, city sealer of weights and measures. calling on consumers to have all coal weighed and wood measured If a short age is suspected.- An official of the Alblna Fuel oonv this morning giving the wood dealers' version. .-.-:,. He said that ordinarily when a ner son bought a cord of wood and ordered the four foot sticks cutetwlce he ex pected three' full tiers. Instead it would be found that after being cut there were really but about two tiera and a half. This is because there are more stlcka, they are packed closer. , The Alblna man said that this was a well known fact to all persons familiar with the wood business and said that he would be perfectly willing to give a practical demonstration to any one who would take tne trouoie to can at nia wood yard. All wood Is measured by the cord when It Is sold. Then it Is sawed. If ao ordered by the -customer.
