Receipts of grain on market day were above average with wheat at 63 to 64 cents, peas 70 cents, barley 46 to 48 cents, rye 47 cents, and hay priced at 8.50 dollars. Meat prices held steady though hogs fell to 5.75 dollars, while fowl rose in volume with turkeys at 10 cents per pound, ducks 55 to 60 cents, and chickens 40 to 50 cents per pair.
