Christmas TURKEYS
Are Plentiful at
Reduced Prices
Cost of Cranberries More
Than Doubled Since
Thanksgiving Day; Apples
and Beans Also Higher

The Christmas turkey will be several
cents a pound cheaper and several
thousand more plentiful than his late
predecessor, the Thanksgiving bird
While Western turkeys predominant
there will be no lack of birds from
Maryland
Ducks, geese and roasting chickens
are numerous and comparatively rea-
sonable in price.
Some firms, according to P. @. Foy
the local food market expert, have
gathered in since Thanksgiving Day
enough cranberries to enable them to
dictate prices. The 10 and - cents a
quart cranberries of Thanksgiving Day
are retailing to-day at from % to &C
cents. Celery, beans and apples have
registered an increase of from 60 to
80 per cent in price since Thanksgiv-
ing Day. England's growing appetite
for American apples has been partially
instrumental in bringing about the in
creased apple cost
The weeks receipts of potatoes and
onions have established a new high
record, according to Mr.. Foy. Onions
show falling off in price from Thanks
giving Day quotations, while potatoes
are only slightly cheaper as a result of
the heavy receipts.
Beans never, in all their eventful his
tory, were 80 aristocratic and valuable
as to-day. From a lowly 10, II and Is
cent value they have scared to the
heights of 35 and 40 cents quart.
Mr.. Foy says prices for Christmas
feast essentials should be about as fol
lows:
