are holding back quantities of penal -
try to market jrarnediately before
Christmas, and this, they think is
wrens', as if all farmers market at
the same time there is bound to be
be a slump in prices. Last year
dealers lost money on Christmas
poultry in this way. They think far-
mers should take advantage of the
good prices and market now.

Mr. Uurh Spackman, of Exeter,
whose time for Warden of tbe
