|, The approach OF Thanksgiving Is creating con-
siderable activity in the poultry market There
is an abundance of chickens, and turkeys are
also coming in quite freely. The demand for
geese and ducks is quite limited, but few are
coming in. The jobbing price OF turkeys is 10
cents pound, live weight, but chickens are
much cheaper. Tho retail price for oil kinds of
poultry is IS cents at present and il is probable
: this Nee will prevail until after Thanksgiving.
The retail trade in groceries and provisions
has been trific lighter this week. Prices re-
main just the same as they were last week.
