Butchers Refuse to Stock Up

A buyers strike in New York is

wholesale purchasers from New Eng
land. New Jersey and up State had
bought their supplies here yesterday
at 81 and 20 cents a pound break
in the market came. Prices began a
downward trend which is expected tc
continue through to-day and to-mor-
row.
The break was caused by fear of a
growing movement by customers tc
refuse to buy turkeys at high prices
Accordingly, local butchers would not
stock their shops at prevailing quota
tions. The result was a much easier
tone to the market
Most of the sales yesterday were 10
the butchers and merchants from out OF
town.
Nearly 100 carloads were bought n
the following prices: Maryland turkeys
10 cents pound Virginia. SO and 6s

Three buyers appeared for every tur-
key.
Local butchers. sensing customers
strike, refused to buy except in quanti-
ties to meet the immediate wants of a
few patrons. Many retail merchants
said they would not buy until the back
bone of high prices was thoroughly
broken or until they had orders in adj
vance for every turkey.
The buyers strike took on organized
form yesterday through letters mailed
by many women's organizations appeal
ing to members to refrain from buying
until prices were reduced. Housewives
were asked to substitute chicken. duck
lamb or some other meat for the usual
Thanksgiving dish.
The Metropolitan Housewives League
through its president, Mrs. Frank Green
burger reminded the members that the
war had taught them to deprive them
selves of Injuries for just cause and
requested members who were able to pay
high prices to refuse to do so.
Receipts of turkeys here yesterday
amounted to 11,745 barrels, averaging
from twelve to fifteen birds to barrel
Twice this amount Is expected to be re-
ceived to-day when> the great bulk OF
produce for local consumption will come
in. The drop in the market to-day is
not expected to be preciptous. but
steady.
The following retail prices on substl-
tutes for turkey were quoted yesterday

MILK UP A CENT A QUART

Has Decreased.

December milk prices will be raised a

ment just issued by the Borden Farm
Products Company. The price in Man
haitian, Brooklyn, Queens Westchester
and New Jersey will be 16 cents quart
for Grade B and 19 cents for Grade A.
Pint BOTTLES remain at 10 cents.
The company says the advance is due
to the normal decrease in supply at this
time of year. augmented by the unusual
heavy demand by manufacturers OF con-
densed and evaporated milk. While the
milk shortage has not reached alarming
proportions, the announcement states,
the situation Is such that the company
has been forced to cut down It's whole
sale supply by 20 per cent. and the re-
tail supply by per cent. The farmers
price has been advanced slightly more

Harvey Finds War Fever
Has Fled from the World

r ONDON, Nov. 27 (Associated
Press). - George Harvey.
American Ambassador, at
the Forum Club tonight. alluding
to what he called "the common
placeness of great events" pointed
out that during the last six weeks
there had been n general election
in England, tremendous events in
the Near East, the Fascista revo-
luton in Italy and other important
occurrences, and added. I'VE have
paid not much attention to any of
them"
Even more remarkable. there had
been no bloodshed. He deduced from
this that the world was tired of
killing and that it would be iInpos-
sible to create any great war for
years to come. because the people
would not have 1t.
"a dominion of common sense
has come over the world" he de-
clared. "The British and American
people were never since the civil
war as free from resentful feeling
as to-day"
