SAUCE FOR BOTH GOOSE, CANCER
AND TURKEY TO BE CHEAP
FOR A CHANGE.

Cranberries have established pre-
cedent by placing themselves on the
market at a fairly reasonable price
For the first time in recent years
cranberries promise to be actually
cheap for both Thanksgiving and
Christmas consumption.
At present wholesalers are quoting
choice cranberries at Sc per barrel
which puts them at about 10 cents
rer quart. 1t is not believed that
this prize will advance much between
now and Christmas.
Last year and for several years back
cranberries haNs sold at from IS to
$11 per barrel at this season and until
Christmas time. The Cape Cod crop
OF berries has been exceptionally
large, 1t is said. and this is chiefly re
sponsible for the low price.
