FOR THANKSGIVING BUYERS

The stock of poultry in town today l is large, but the supply. of natives I may be short next week. as farmers l have expressed dissatisfaction with the prices offered and threaten to re- fuse to sell for them.
 The prices asked today for poultry and game are: Turkeys zoe for na- tives and 12c to 14c for Western; geese. 1Sc for native stock and 12c for Western; chickens, 18c for fla- { tive stock, Sc to 12c for Western: ducks zoe for native stock and 14c for Western; Patridges are $1.50: quail 75c and woodcock $1 a pair. Rabbits are soc and squirrel soc to 40c per pair. Fine ssquab are soc per pair.
 Prime roasting beef is zoe; lamb 16c; and pork 1ocl per pound. That price. for native poultry will advance between now and the time when the demand will be greater, seems to be quite a general impression among dealers In the fish markets the supply is plentiful and prices remain the same as one week ago.

TRUST BUSTING FAILS
TO REDUCE PRICES
Trade Commission Says Dissolution of
Tobacco Company Has Not AZ
fected Wholesale Rates.

According to report submitted to
the President by the Bureau of Cor
porations, now merged with the Fed
eral Trade Commission. the decree of
the Supreme Court of the United
States dissolving the tobacco trust
has resulted in the successor COM
panies competing with each other
for business in most branches of the
industry. but has not affected whole
sale prices
The reports treat of prices, costs
and profits; of the former American
Tobacco Company. known as the COM
bination: of the seven companies
among which the court in 1911 appor-
toned the business of the combina-
tion, and of the principal other tobacco
companies in no way related to the
combination. Joseph E. Davies, for
mer Commissioner of Corporations,
who signs the report, submits the fol-
lowing in conclusion:
THE successor companies have COM
peted with the smaller tobacco concerns
and collectively, have won business from
them in some branches and lost to them
in others AS a consequence Of compe-
tition the rate of profit of the successor
companies has been reduced. although
their rate of profit is still high In gen.
eral. this competition has seriously re-
duced the profits Of the other compa-
MES.
This reduction in profits has not been
caused by increased cost of manufacture
but by increased expenses of distribu-
ton, and principally by the increase in
expenditures for advertising As the sale
of tobacco products depends largely on
the advertisement of brands. competition
in the tobacco business necessarily in
Creases advertising expenditures. In
other words. for tobacco products-and

ticics-thc social cost of the system of
competition is largely found in extra

would seem to be inevitable for brand
articles so long as they have a propri-

Down by Court.
TO RESUME TRIAL TODAY

Syracuse. May s.-William Barnes
spent the day discussing with his
lawyers the plan for attack to be made
on Col. Roosevelt when the Barnes
Roosevelt libel suit is resumed before
Justice Andrews in the Supreme Court
tomorrow.
The Barnes side will begin the ag-
gressive either in the afternoon or
early Tuesday morning. Barnes will
be the last witness. He has clearly
defined idea of what his testimony is
to be. Much depends on how he de-
livers 1t. While Barnes is thoroughly
angry at the Colonel. ana as eager us
possible to inflict all possible damage
on his political enemy he has thus far
remained calm.
Fear Barnes Temper.
But he is not the most placid man
in the world when irritated, and many
of his followers fear that when he
gets on the stand he will lose his
temper and say things that will not
TT well into a cold judicial proceeding.
Barnes lawyers expect to finish his
direct examination in one day. The
Roosevelt lawyers will have him on
cross-examination another day. Mr..
Bowers. who has a sharp rasping voice
to match a sharp rasping personality will
conduct this inquisition. Every precau-
ton will be taken to prepare Barnes for
this SO he will not flare up when par
ticularly irritating questions are asked
him.
VIII Bolster Evidence.
Col Roosevelt spent most of the day at
the home of Horace S. Wilkinson. where
he is a guest. In the afternoon he took
ride In limousine. riding in the front
seat with the chauffeur. although a semi
arctic gale was blowing from the north
east.
The Roosevelt case will be concluded
with an effort to validate all their print
ing evidence The evidence thus far has
hit on all sides of the requisites. but
the lawyers declare that when their ca se
is ended they will have met all the
conditions imposed by Justice Andrews.
