FIRST TURKEYS BRING
40 CENTS IN BALTIMORE
Good Demand for Fat Chickens;
Strictly Fresh EGGS Few; Po-
tato Market Is Easy.

BALTIMORE, Nd. October 1s.-The
appearance in the local markets arrived
this week. but the fowls were few in
number and brought 40 cents per pound.
and this price will probably remain ef-
fective until tho season has become
more advanced. Reports indicate that
there will be plenty of turkeys this sea-
son.
Good and constant demand for nice
fat chickens. whether young or old. still
marks the poultry market, but there is
no demand for the poorer grades. and
these are hard to move even at q dis
count. The daily receipts include poor.
small and laid-out old hens, and these
are proving in some instances to be a
total loss. Receipts Of ducks are heavy
and only fat ducks Weighing around 81
to pounds are attracting any atten-
ton.
Very few strictly fresh eggs are being
received and the business Of the market
Is centered in the cold storage stock.
This is being distributed to sources
which ordinarily would demand only
strictly fresh eggs at this season OF the
year.
Tho market on fruits and vegetables
shows little change in prices since last
week Supplies continue to come in
fre ely and the demand is only fair.
The general potato market Is easy.
The embargo at Bolton station con-
tinues on bulk stock. on account OF car
shortage, and with receipts very liberal
there is only a fair movement and
values are hard to maintain. only No. 1
graded stock bringing top prices. Sweets
and yams are a shade better under a
fair demand and ample offerings Of de-
sirable stock. Chestnut receipts have
been moderate this week and are again
firmer with a fairly good demand for
choice fresh nuts, but there is some
wormy stock coming in which is hard
to place Prices today, to 10 cents q
pound and $3.50 to s6 a bushel

Shortage Still Acute.
The building shortage throughout
the country is just as acute now an
IT was at the end of the war T.shor
prices and the general cost of living
nave gone higher. so that the cDst
OF building operations must continue
toward more advanced levels. while
the process of marking up rents will
likewise continue. 1t is to be regret
eeo; from the standpoint of the gen.
eraI public. particularly those who
are dependent on modest salaries IN
the larger cities, that rents must ad-
vance for some time, but It must be
borne in mind that we are paying the
penalty of our general lack of thrift
in which the innocent as well as the
guilty must suffer. We have entirely
ignored the law of supply and de-
mand. and, during the year that has
ensued since the end of hostilities we
have failed to make any considerable
progress in relieving the general
building shortage.
Capital for building purposes has
been timid in many instances because
of an erroneous assumption that
prices would go lower instead bf
higher. while labor disturbances in
the building and allied industries have
helped keep production at a low ebb.
Until the whole nation resolves to
settle our economic problems by the
only solution possible. namely, in
creased production through thrift, we
may expect building conditions to
grow more acute continually. with
rents mounting correspondingiy
higher.
1T is encouraging to note that the
public is beginning to understand the
vital need of thrift at this time. The
elimination Of strikes and walkouts
in the building trades throughout a
very large part of the nation and
the increased building activities
of the last month indicate that we
are beginning to take these problems
in hand and make a start toward
general sterilization along the only
lines that will produce lasting re-
suits"
