PRICES UNCHANGED
IN TURKEY MARKET
Warmer Weather Gives Deal
ers Temporary Scare, But
Values Hold Firm.

Yesterdays high temperature, caus-
Ing turkeys to sweat, threw a scare
into the turkey market yesterday aft
ernoon and threatened to break
prices. Dealers held off until this
morning, however, when the colder
weather treasured them, with the re"
suit that prices remained practically
unchanged.
Ample supplies of the king fowl are
being received, most of them being
in splendid condition, and dealers ex-
pect they will be able to clean up by
the time market closes Friday. I'm
less the supplies become too great for
the demand, condition not expected,
1t is believed the price viii remain at
so and So cents for choicest stock.
