RETAIL TURKEYS
60 CENTS TODAY
Some Dealers Hint at Still
Higher Prices-Eggs TO
Be Cheaper.

Turkeys and trimmings for the
Christmas dinner claimed attention Of
sellers and buyers this morning. Tur.
key prices covered a wide range,
prices for dressed stock ranging from
AZ 10 30 cents at wholesale. while live
turkeys were offered at lower prices.
There was A tendency on part of
certain dealers TO boost prices, while
others declared there appeared TO be
no reason for such boosting. Most of
the wholesalers said a 60-cent retail
market should prevail while in a few
instances a price as high as SIS was
suggested.
1t was declared by many dealers
that turkeys were plentiful enough to
supply all demands. while others sug-
gested a possible shortage. All kinds
offered at prices dealers consider ex-
ceptionally req sonable for the Christ
mas holiday season.
Very little change in the butter and
egg market was reported. Dealers re-
port the egg market, already weak
ened, will drop soon after the holiday
season is over.
Celery from New York and Cali
fornia is more plentiful than usual,
although 1t does not make so good an
appearance. New York stock was
quoted at $500 and $500 a crate, the
California product selling as high as
$500 and $500.
