The Chinese ara tha nrlnclpal con sinners of ducks and they sometimes hid high lor these In jirder to get thera. Whenever a Chinese merchant wants ducks It is foolhsrdy for a white maa to trv to get them away from him be cause he will bid the price so high that only a rarnegie or itocaereuer can com pete. While th Chines are saving In other ways they will not allow expense to stand In th way of their obtaining ducks. While a week or 18 days ago spring ducks were quoted very close to 80o a round, today thev are not worth mor han 16c a pound, simply becsus the Chinese are not active Dinners. To s slight extent th lack of buying by the same Interests has hurt the chicken trade and the market today Is weak at ISo for hens. Only a few gees have com forward recently ana tnese are not waniea. Turkeva are a drua? on th market and th price dropped heavily during tne weea.
