LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

Dealers are looking forward to the
Christmas holiday trade. It Is too
early for them to give q definite fore
cast of the probable prices of food
stuffs most in demand at such time
but merchants believe prices will be
no higher.
Poultry dealers seem to think the
Christmas supply OF turkeys will be
large enough to cause a reduction in
price. Prices for the Thanksgiving 6
holiday season were higher here than
elsewhere. but such condition 10 not
part of this month.
Buying. this morning was not very
brisk. There were ample supplies OF
meats. fruits, vegetables and poultry
prices OF most commodities being
practically Pr the same as before
