"a scarcity Of stock and the buying up of
turkeys in this city by Swift 4 Co. Mr..
Win,er,on of the firm of Winterton 4 Co..
Wholesale dealers at 300 Washington street,
said yesterday that he had never seen the
market so poorly supplied with turkeys
at Thanksgiving time as it v now. but that
New York is better supplied than some
other places,
In Boston. he says. there Is a turkey
famine. Buyers for firms doing business
in that city have been In New York for
several days buying up stock for shipment
TO Boston and have not been able to get all
they wanted in spite Of the fact that they
offered fancy prices.
Some In the trade do not put much con-
fidence in the report that Swift d Co. are
operating to corner the market, though II
is not denied that the company has buyers
here on the lookout for stock arriving for
commission men. In former years the big
packing firm has had an ample supply at
it's Western houses to take care Of the New
York trade.
Tomorrow will be the big day for sales
Of turkeys in the wholesale markets, and
prices will again advance unless more stock
than Is expected arrives from the country.
