WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Gordon Walker Ltd.

Another full penning of poultry, which sold to an uusatisfied demand, came forward at Gordon Walker Ltd.'s weekly market sale. The market could easily absorb double the quantity on

offer at top rates. The reserve pens were necessary to cope with the entry of pigs, which sold readily at late values. Porkers and baconers continue to sell in excess of sehedule ?ates.
