the fowl. 1t will make a difference of sew
eral thousand turkeys, and will have ten
oency to prevent an Increase In the price.
Wild ducks are fairly plentiful but other
game is scarce and high, SQUADS being used
instead of quail and other birds. Quail
continue to be scarce and high, the price
asked for them decreasing the demand
Butter and Eggs.
There has been but little change in the
meat market during the past week, and
butter and eggs show no change in price.
F1rst-class butter Is exceptionally scarce
and dealers find it difficult matter to get
enough for the trade. Eggs are selling at
from 30 to 40 cents and are in great de-
mand for the holiday trade Storage eggs
are to be had for about q cents. 1t is said
that there is every indication Of eggs be-
coming cheaper after the holidays unless
there should come severe spell of weather.
There are plenty of them in storage and
shippers are getting enough of them now to
keep them busy. Fish are scarce and high.
And, said dealer this morning ''they
are not likely to get cheap for a couple of
weeks. Fishermen will take off the Christ
mas holidays and go to their homes, no
matter ABOUT the condition of the market.
The same Is also true of oystermen."
Fruit and vegetable displays on the
benches in the markets are made attractive
this year, as usual, and heavy sales will be
made by the dealers before tomorrow night.
Many patrons of the market dealers did
rush tomorrow, and thereby relieved the
merchants. There is a generous supply of
almost everything in the line OF fruits and
vegetables and dealers say that prices are
no. higher than usual. Apples are scarce
and higher than usual, but other fruits are
considered reasonable. Florida vegetables
are being received in large quantities and
dealers find no trouble in supplying the de-
mands. Rabbits and squirrels are plentiful
and people along the country line have
more of them than they can dispose of at
the usual market prices
Demand for Fresh Fish
The demand for fresh fish at the whole
sale fish market on the wharf this morning
was not heavy, while the supply on hand
was large and prices moderate. Both Poto-
mac and bay fish were on sale at prices
ranging about as follows: For rock, pan,
DC. to 12c. per pound: medium, 12c. to 15c
per pound; broiler, 20c to 25c. per pound
white perch, &c. to 12c. per pound; black
bass, 1Oc. to 12c. per pound; pike, Sc. to he

There is a fair supply of all grades of
oysters on sale at the wharf market, and
the demand is fair. They are selling at
prices ranging from Coo. to SIPS per bushel,
according to grade.

Purchasers Slow in Coming.

Purchasers Slow in Coming.
I've been coming here every Christmas
for fifty years." said one of the old women
this morning. land people are slower max
ing purchases this year than ever before.
1t must be that they are taking their time
because Christmas comes on Monday. but
think some of them have another reason.
When l asked man dollar for tree he
got insulted and told me he'd wait till Sun
day, and then he could pick up tree that
had been thrown away, but he might get
fooled. If had my way I'd put watch
man along here Sunday and have him arrest
every man who tried to take away tree
without paying for 1t. It's no easy matter
to get trees now unless you own a farm
and have them growing upon it. People
who have scrub pines know the value OF
them for Christmas trees and guard them
the same as they do their watermelon
patches in campmeeting time.
Most of the women who deal in natural
decorations for the holidays are in the habit
of selling herbs and produce about the mar
kets, but they are paying no attention 70
their regular stock now. expecting they will
reap a harvest selling their evergreens.
Some of them have been about the market
since early In the week and will remain I'M
I'll the last lights are extinguished tornor-
row night.
Inside the markets this morning there
were floral displays to brighten the build
ings, some of the florists adding electric
lights to attract attention Bells for the
holiday trade some constructed of paper
and others of red flowers, We're very much
in evidence, and the prices asked for them
were so cheap that fast sales were made.
There were plenty of flowers upon the
benches in the markets this morning, and
even greater supplies are~expected tomor-
row. 1t is stated that the orders for flow
ers this season are greater than usual, and
the supply may run short before Monday.
Turkeys, Chickens and Ducks.
While Christmas decorat lions are claiming
the attention of people who anxious to
haye their house present a holiday appear
ance the question of what the Christmas
turkey is to cost Is also an important one
Dealers were this morning quoting 20 and
% cents per pound, an advance over the
figures which prevailed Thanksgiving week.
A dealer regarded it as probable that some
of the big packers will attempt to buy up
the stock this afternoon in an effort to
control the market, but should such a
thing be attempted" he said, Il hardly
think it will succeed"
There is scarcity of chickens and ducks,
but the dealers expect some large consign-
ments of them before tomorrow, and think
there will be enough of them to relieve the
turkey market, should there be evidence
of scarcity of turkeys. 1t is the intention
OF some of the charity organizations to dis
tribute hams and other meats this year in
stead of turkeys, and their action will make
a considerable difference in the demand for
