Show SPRING CHICKENS ARE DISAPPOINTING Very Few of This Year's Crop Havo Appeared in Local Market Prlco Is High. ' "SPRING chickens should bo ripe at this time, but for somo reason tho season Is backward, both in Utah and the East. A very fow Bmall invoices havo been received by local commission men during tho past week and thoro Is dlsappolntmont among both dealers and consumers. It Is believed that tho Eastern East-ern product Is being packed as fast as It comes in, but no special reason appears for the homo Bhortagc. Wholesale, dcnlors aro paying 27 cents a pound for tho fow springs they aro ablo to buy, and thoy aro sold to retail dealers at 60 and 65 cunts apiece. Poultry of laBt year'a vintage, both Utah and Eastern, is qulto plentiful. Thcro was a good trado In fish yesterday, yester-day, and tho supply of all thc popular varieties va-rieties was amplo to moot tho. demand. Oats continue scarc, with tho possibility of a further advanco in prlco beforo tho now crop appears. Strawberries still lead oaally in the fresh fruit markct and tho supply nnd quality aro both qulto satisfactory. Tho season has about closed In California, and Texas berries will be Bhowing up shortly. Hay, Grain and StTaw.
