WASHINGTON PRODUCE
MARKET

At a rise OF from 10 2 cents FOR tur-
keys IN the local produce market this
morning, heavy demand kept the
prices up 70 the top figure Of q cents
until shortly after noon. when the edge
dropped of and the best birds could
be bought for from Is TO 20 cents. Live
turkeys were but ! cent lower pound
Chickens were also in good demand, the
best dressed stock selling readily at 151z
and 1912 cents per pound. Receipts or
these commodities were far better than
had been expected. but not only were
the amounts large, but the quality of
the goods shipped in was of the best.
Moderate wholesale prices for cram
berries, squash, pumpkin, celery, and
other commodities which go with the
turkey was the general rule, but some
merchants sold goods Of this class at
high prices for even this season. The
arrivals of all green fruits and vege-
tables were good.
Instead Of rise in prices of game. as
had been expected ample shipments
kept the figures down to normal
