TRADE IN TURKEYS
IS BR|SKER TODAY
Good Demand for All Poultry
and Rabbits Is Reported
in Market.

Increased receipts Of both live and
dressed turkeys this morning gave
the market a more decided holiday
appearance. Buyers were out in large
numbers early this morning to get
the first pick Of the stock on hand.
1t appeared that buyers were giving
very little thought to other commodi-
ties, although there was a fairly good
demand for all varieties Of poultry
and rabbits
Increased receipts Of rabbits put a
large supply of the game on market
benches this morning, No. l stock
selling at 35 and 40 cents, while No.
stock sold at 20 and 25 cents.
Live turkeys were quoted at 40 and
~ cents this morning, the dressed
stock selling at AS and 48 cents.
A slightly increased demand for
hams was reported this morning. the
increase, 1t is stated, probably being
due to the high price Of turkeys.
Meat dealers do not expect heavy
trading in their line this week. how
ever, and many of them cut their
orders for supplies. 1t is expected
that meats will he in much greater
demand the coming week
There is no relief from high prices
IN the butter and egg market in sight,
according to dealers, and it is gen.
orally believed high prices will prevail
throughout the holiday season.
