XMAS PRICES

Rainy Weather Causes Halt
in Shopping; Turkeys
50 Cents Pound.

An umbrella brigade Of tardy Christ
mas purchasers, bombarded the retail
produce stalls of the city market yes
terday.
Quite obiivious Of rain. they bar
gained at the dripping outside stands
over the price Of the reddest apples
and the largest California oranges.
The merchant was at decided dis
advantage, for the anticipated profits
of a Christmas market were dissolved
with the arrival of the storm clouds,
so that many were the bargains the
careful shopper picked up.
The Christmas wreaths Of holly and
pine and spruce from the woodsides
OF MARYLAND and Virginia went for a
song late in the afternoon. when the
yeuders realized that Christmas Eve
In Washington was to be wet and
rainy. A Christmas wreath Of holly
which sold yesterday for 80 cents
could be bought last night at half the
price. The most popular greenery
from the woods were the mistletoe
boughs. which were sold out long be-
fore branches of the less romantic
laurel and box.
The wholesale market was decidedly
depressed. Cabbages and potatoes, II
was said. will have to be sold at a
loss in the Christmas market
A slump. too, is anticipated In Cali
fornia oranges and in the surplus
fruits and vegetables ordered for the
Christmas trade.
Within the houses the wholesale and
retail dressed poultry departments
were doing a highly successful busi-
ness, Turkeys. the prime favorite,
were still holding the Thanksgiving
price of from 4s to 80 cents per pound.
