POULTRY PRICES
NOW ON DECLINE
Turkeys Selling in Lower
Sussex County for 81
Cents Pound
ANOTHER DROP
is LOOKED FOR
10 rhe EvenIng Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal
GEoRGETOwN. Nov. 19.-rhere
is a sudden decline in the price of
poultry in lower Delaware. and indi-
cations are that there may be an
other drop in prices before the
Christmas holidays. as many OF the
farmers are determined TO convert
their poultry into money. since
they are unable TO realize but lit
tie from farm products. One year
ago turkeys we're selling. live weight,
for 40 and IS cents per pound. To-
day the market price here is 81
cents. Guineas, which last year
sold for $3.50 a pair, have dropped
to 81, while there has been a drop
OF cents a pound in the price Of
geese.
Fresh eggs are retailing for 81
cents a dozen. while chickens have
declined in price 13 cents since last
fall. Dressed pork is selling for
S12 a hundred weight. with pros
poets of a drop Of two cents pound
within the next two weeks. Ducks
can be purchased for 90 cents a
pound, while potatoes, owing to the
scarcity. are being sold for $3.50 a
bushel Sweet potatoes and turnips
are bringing so cents a 5-S basket
and onions 81.
A sharp decline in foodstuffs has
enabled the laboring class to work
at a cheaper wage scale in this sec
ton Of Delaware. and there seems "a
be little complaint OF high prices un-
til a visit is made to the stores and
purchases OF wearing apparel made
which seem TO be on the downward
trend at low pace.
