TURKEY SHORTAGE IN CITY
Birds Will Be Both Scarce and Ex-
pensive, Ranging in Price From
81 to 45 Cents a Pound

Thanksgiving turkeys in Philadelphia will
be both scarce and extensive. According to
the latest market quotations, the retail
price in this city will be:
Prime turkeys dressed, forty-fve cents
n pound second quality. thlrty-eIght to
forty-two cents pound, and third quality,
thirty-four to thirty-eight cents pound.
The much-heralded annual Thanksgiving
turkey auction sale at Hatfield Pa, not
only fixes the Philadelphia market price.
but issues a reliable forecast to the
scarcity OF the birds in this city. Whereas
usually 5000 are sold annually in Hatfield
at pre-Thanksgivlng time. only approx
mately 1000 were sold yesterday. Hence, tur-
keys will be scarce and expensive. Q. 10. ID.
The highest figures ever obtained pre-
vailed at the Hatfield sale. The turkeys
sold averaged thirteen pounds to the bird.
Some of the farmers stroked their boards
and said the thirteen" average evidently
was unlucky so far as Philadelphia is con-
cerned
The highest wholesale price paid was
5000 for 100 pounds live weight whole
sale for frst-cholce turkeys, That means
forty-hve cents pound retail in PhiIadel-
phia, according to Milton b. Benner, OF
Worcester. the auctioneer.
Purchasers at the sale at Hatfield will
prepare the birds for sale in the markets in
Philadelphia.

able to reimburse me. She spoke OF finding
the Broad street house too expensive. eX-
pecting her mother to sell, and would reim-
burse me from the proceeds helped her."

cutIon, on cross-examlnation, went into
every phase of Luckenbach's relations with
Mrs. Wolfe, and tho motives that actuated
him when he advanced her large sums of
money. The testimony held Mrs. Wolles
deepest interest. She leaned over the seat
in front of her. intentIy listening to every
word Mr. Smith took up the $4,000

Wolfe. and asked innumerable questions re-
garding II. The document purported to

ing her the $4,000. BY publicity. he meant

plain what he meant, Lucsenbach said Mrs.

twice hit the rock he aimed at.
An ordinary tin can was placed twenty

throwing at that, using the baseball
pitchers motion, but having hardly enough
speed TO strike within reasonable distance
of the mark. "Im afraid l can't hit 1t, I'm
tired. How many more have | got to throw :?
I've thrown enough to teach me never to
throw another stone," he pleaded. tears
