POULTRY RECEIPTS
ARE LARGER HERE
Many Turkeys on Hand at
Wholesale Market--Vege-
tables Plentiful.

I A fairly heavy sprinkling of turkeys
alive, this morning gave the poultry
market an appearance suggestive OF the
approaching Thanksgiving holiday sea-
son. Receipts were nothing like heavy
dealers reported, heavy receipts not be-
ing expected until the nrSt OF the
coming week.
The season for turkey dinners in
churches is on, according to reports,
and hundreds of the best OF the PICK
of the king of the barnyard fowls are
being ordered Most of the turkeys thus
far received were in splendid condition,
dealers reported, even the small Spring
turkeys being fat and attractive.
Receipts of chickens, ducks and keats
also were fairly heavy this morning, and
dealers received shipments of rabbits,
mostly from Tennessee and missouri.
Forty cents was the price OF the best
OF the rabbits cullS selling as low as
Is and 20 cents.
Tomatoes Scarce.
There was an absence of homegrown
ripe tomatoes ON the farmers line TINS
morning, growerA saying the season ior
them is over. .TWepseaSon has EXTENDED
over a much longer period this year
than heretofore, early receipts having
been light and prices high. Green to-
matoes were offered this morning
around 81 bushel. :.
Growers had plentiful supplies OF
sninach kale and turnips to offer at SO
and rs cents a bushel, and they also
had quantities of other vegetables.
Pumpkins continue in heavy supply.
ON the commission house line there
we've heavy receipts of fruits and vege-
tables. most of the latter coming from
distant points, prices continuing prac-
tically unchanged. 49,,
Dealers reported continued ilEih
condition of the egg market. Receipts
IF honnerv stock continue greater IN
proportion than the current receipts
and consumers are taking to the cheap,
err grades. Prices of both butter ano
eggs were reported unchanged TINS
morning, meat prices also being the
same as prices quoted yesterday. :,
Trading this morning was reported
heavier than during the past few Gays.
Wholesalers had supplies OF all com
modities in excess of demands, prices OF
most commodities being the same do
yesterdays prices.
