Show for Utah layers Eastern Hen Fruit Labeled as Fresh Home Eggs Chickens for 1 Thanksgiving t 1 Consumers In a majority of instances may not know It, but lnrgo quantities of Eastern storage eggs are now beln.: eaten by tho fastidious here under the caption of "fresh Utah eggs." In defense de-fense of this subterfuge, one of the large dealers said yesterday afternoon that Eastern eggs kept In cold storago all summer, of which largo numbers are . being Imported into Utah Just now, are much bettor than Utah eggs gathered In the summer. Tho latter, ho says, are known its grass eggs, and gained tho namo from the practice of turning chickens chick-ens out to grass, as it were; in the summer sum-mer time, instead of feeding them, as Is the rule In the winter and early spring. The chickens having bolter food In tno spring, naturally lay better eggs than In tne summer time, when they are In largo measure ljft to shift for themselves. Thon in the East, this dealer continued, contin-ued, raisers of poultry feed their chlck-enu chlck-enu large quantities of clabber, which is known to be one of the best foods yet found for chickens. Clabber-fed chickens chick-ens aro of liner llavor and their eggo of better quality than any other. Dealers In the country aro now asking more for the real fresh eggs than city folkB are paying for Eastern "fresh eggs'' right hero at home. A gardener named Connelly, living In tho southern part of Salt Lake, has made a specialty this year of caullltower and red cabbage, and the results have been most gratifying. Heads of cauliflower offered yesterday by an up-town dealer avoraged from three to four pounds and were of as lino quality as one would v.Ish to see. The day of specialties In market gardening seems to be nero, along with tho many other specialties which havo come to stay. No chango In meat quotations Is likely like-ly to occur before the holidays. There may bo fluctuations now and then, but prices given now will probably hold good until after Christmas. On tho other hand, a docllno In the price of chickens is looked for some days before Thanksgiving Thanks-giving Turkeys will probably bo a trlllo lower, but at the lowest figure anticipated anticipat-ed would not bo within tho reach of tho masses, who will enjoy a feast of chicken chick-en Instead Tho demand for ojsters from the outside out-side districts is steadily crowing, and 'one dealer said yesterday that there has been more call for this blvalvo during October this year than dunng November and December last year. Tho new "seal-uhlpt" "seal-uhlpt" method of shipping the oysters to this c.ty has greatly increased tho demand de-mand for them, and whereas two months ago tho cans with tho yacht on wero unknown un-known in the lntermountaln country, hundreds of them aro npw shipped dally from this city. This has opened up another an-other Industry here, for the oystors aro shipped In bulk from tho seaboard and canned here. Japanese persimmons In small quantities quanti-ties aro beginning to arrive. There I3 never much of a demand for this fruit, but it Is popular with a low. Grapes wero a little lower yestorday, the baskets at tho retail dealers being offered nt 50 and GO cents.

CHICAGO. Oct 26. Smnll receipts and compartalvely firm cables caused a steady tone In the wheat market at tho opening. December was a shadu lower to a shade higher at $1.11Q1.11, May was unchanged to c higher at Jl.l.r-fcft' 113, On a fair demand from commission commis-sion houses and pit traders the market advanced a trifle, December selling up to $L14 and May to $1 13i. Selling supposed sup-posed to be for a leader of tho bull crowd caused a reaction, December declining de-clining to $1.14&. May sold olf to $1.13 Trading was rather quiet until late In tho day, the market lacking any definite news, either bullish or bearish From $1.14 'December advanced to J1.15V1 on covering by some ohorts who sold yestorday. yes-torday. lhe demnnd for May was less active and in consequence that delivery showed mora resistance to an advance. Lato in the day the market broke sharply under heavy liquidation. During tho latter lat-ter part of the session a persistent report re-port had been In circulation that a quarter quar-ter of A. million bushels of cash wheat had been sold horo at 2c under the December De-cember price. Naturally theee rumors had a depressing influence on speculative trading. An advnnce In consols and a roportcd back-down by Russian was an even greater blow to holders, especially those who had expected further war scares. Late weakness at Minneapolis had considerable Influence on tho market mar-ket hore. After selling off to $1.13 December De-cember closed at $1.13TVgl.M. Mnv declined to $1123j,. The close was at SI 12-;4. In corn an active commission house demand de-mand for both December and May deliveries deliv-eries caused a strong tone. Decembor opened Mc to fcc higher at 49?i'549e, advanced ad-vanced to 50c and closed at 49iSf 19c. Local Lo-cal receipts were 72- cars, with 5 of contract con-tract grade. Oats were dull and firm. After opening open-ing Vic higher at 29V?,c. December advanced ad-vanced to 29c and closed at 29c. As tho result of a 10 per cent decline in the price of hogs an easier tone prevailed pre-vailed In provisions nt the opening, with all products showing slight losses. At the close all Jnnuarv products were down 2c. RANGE OF THE LEADING FUTURES. Articles. Open. High. Low. Close.
