Indications Are That Turkey
viii Continue at % Cents a
Pound Until Thanksgiving.

Poultry prices remained steady this
week, notwithstanding the approach of
the Thanksgiving holiday, and present
indications are that dressed turkeys
will continue at IS cents q pound until
Iext Thursday. Fresh meat prices are
about the same as last week, having
eased off q cent or two in some in
stances. The quarantine Que to the
prevalence OF the foot-and-mouth dis
ease has had no effect on the retail
market
Eggs took another jump during the
last seven days. the top price now be-
Ing so cents, though Western eggs can
be had from 40 to 30 cents. Dealers say
that every advance above 60 cents will
cause a marked falling off of trade, and
Tor that reason do not expect the price
TO climb much further. Butter, which
Tor several weeks held steady at 40
cents. now sells as high as Is cents for
the best grade. with medium quality
st from aj to f6 cents.
Fruits and vegetables are still plenti-
ful, and the supply bids fair 70 hold out
all winter. irish potatoes are bringing
from 81 20 ~ cents n peck, according
TO size and variety, and sweet potatoes
are wcfth a. cents peck.
Good tomatoes are 10 cents pound,
