ESTIMATE TIE FIGURE
ON CHRISTMAS TURKEY
Dealers Believe Choice Stock Will
Not Exceed 80 Cents
Pound.
Market Quotations on Vegetables
Gradually Lowering-Few Changes
Noted in Meat Prices.

Turkeys are today quoted in the mar
kets of the city from 80 to 80 cents a
pound. and the dealers this morning
told a Star reporter that these are the
prices they expect will prevail in the
coming week, when supplies for the
Christmas dinner are being purchased.
Less desirable grades of the holiday
bird may sell as low IS cents a
pound, but about 80 cents, the market
men say. will be the price for choice
birds. There has been practically no
changes in the poultry market since
Thanksgiving.
While few changes are to be noted in
vegetables and fruits, it is stated the
market is gradually lowering the
supplies from the southern gardens in
crease in quantity. Veal and piece
bacon are quoted lower in the meat
market today, but these are the only
changes in meat prices.
