was crowded all day long with shoppers
who We're preparing for today's Thanks
giving dinner. Although turkeys retailed
at % cents a pound. buyers picked out
their birds, and few complaints were made
about the price. Those VINO felt them
selves too poor to purchase a turkey were
supplied with spring chickens. Every
body seemed to be preparing FOR a big
dinner, and quantities of vegetables and
fruits were sold. The appearance of the
market was decidedly changed last night
when the stores closed The long rows
of turkeys were picked over aud only the
poor and old tough birds were tett. The
choice pieces Of meat. and small pigs
which were prepared for tOday's menu
were sold, and the duck hunters will be
called on again 10 supply the market to-
