This is red letter day in the markets.
Center Market put on Thanksgiving clothes
and an air of business last night, and today
it is the scene of crowding, surgtng, fret
full. faltering, turkey buying humanity.
The crowd is large, but 1t is not what 1t
was last year, the market men say, norwLat
1T has been years before. The dealer tells
you, as he takes short intervals for breath.
between waiting on this customer and then
on that, that the stores are fast driving
the market man out of existence.
In fact, he himself says that ne Will soon
be an extinct species, for where is the man,
he asks. that would not step around the
corner and purchase his whole holiday lay
out of palatables than to travel a way To the
market, even though he hnew he could get
better and cheaper?
The market is far from an unsightly place
at these times. Prcttily decorated booths
of the freshest flowers at not infrequent in
tervals are the handsOnest adornincnts of
all. The vegetable stands reveal every pig
ment in Natures color box, from the bright
vermiliion of the beet to the blending OF the
flake white celery stalk into the brilliant
green OF the spraying top.
Thelorg avenues or the meat stalls present
so tempting a display that it is difficult
to prevent the very teeth from shedding
tears. Stall after stall is filled with the
choicest porterhouse steaks, prime ribs
lamb chops, quarters of beef, hams, saus-
ages and salted meats of every variety.
Along the side aisles the fish rows and
game stalls stand side by side. The game
hampers are filled with everything that
heart or appetite could wish. In monster
piles or in tempting punches salmon, bass,
perch, pike, red snapper, sheepshead and
score OF other varieties attract the eye.

10 cents a pound this morning, but he
will sell for IL IL cents this evening. In
