SEE STILL HIGHER PRICES

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-Condi-
tions in the food markets of central
Indiana are such that Indianapolis
produce dealers say they would not
be surprised If within short time the
consumers here will be paying so
cents a dozen for eggs and so cents
pound or more for butter The pre-
dictions are that Thanksgiving tur-
keys, dressed, will bring AZ cents
pound, and may be scarce at that
price Chickens will be plentiful, at
about 25 cents a pound. Geese and
ducks also will be plentiful, commits
sion men say.
Another Cause of Worry
The egg and butter markets, how
ever, are causing the most concern
The dealers say the storage supply OF
eggs is low and also the supply OF
fresh eggs is not up to tie usual am
cunt. Fresh eggs already have
brought 4S cents a dozen here. Bak-
cries which made contracts for their
butter supplies several months ago.
and also for eggs. aresgetting them at
the contract prices, much less than
the market price, and it is said prob
ably will continue to do SO. For the
private consumer no relief is in sight,
commission men say, unless hens lay
more eggs and cows produce milk with
more butter fat.
