TURKEYS KE|E.y'|,S LOWER
| N:lNl|bRKET TODAY
BroilerS Also Are Cheaper,
With Fowls Bringing Ad-
VanCed Price.

Turkeys, only in fair demand at this
season, We're quoted this morning at
prices several cents lower than prices
quoted last week. 1t is probable that
there will be an increased demand for
them for the Easter holiday trade,
When the demand may force prices up.
Spring broilers were also reported
cheaper this morning. slight IN
tcrease in the price of fowls was re-
ported, the demand for them being
fairly brisk, and receipts only about
normal.
Reports from the big butter centers
. the past two days told of slightly in
creased prices The increase has not
been felt here to any considerable eX-
tent, however, and dealers say 1t is
too late in the season for higher
values.
