According to the Richmond merchants,
the produce market is in excellent condi-
ton. and the outlook is very bright for
n splendid fall and winter trade. In the
ma jority Of cases the supply Is all that

The remarkable scarcity Of turkeys Is
q fact worthy of note Thanksgiving Day

Eobber has not yet appeared. why TINS
is so nobody seems to know. 1t may
be merely late season, and large ship
ments may be made very shortly At
least this a very general hope. There Is
already n steady and growing demand
for turkeys, and up to this time IL mas
been impossible to meet It.
The game season will open with -four
ISL on November 1st, and all the choice
wild fowl Of the season Will be on mana.
Deer is already on the market, and the
toothsome venison is in continual demand.
IT is selling we'll at ten to eleven cents
per pound.
Receipts of eggs continue about equal
to the demand, and the market Is STEADY.
The butter market is fairly active at the
prices quoted in detail elsewhere Smell
and medium chickens are selling well, ana
so are large, fat ducks and such turkeys
es are on the market The receipts OF
potatoes continue good, and the market
is active. The receipts of apples are
moderate in point Of quantity and tlrst-
class in point of quality. Il. w. Evans
