will be before Saturday or Monda1 according to Daniel J. Sullivan. manager Of the Nohican market That the turkeys will be cheaper Mr. Sullivan has no doubt Most eastern birds are on the market 10. day than heretofore.

 "Wc are I'D a tree on prices. sIid Henry x IIoruEoll manag.r of tan Armour branch here. Fur. keys are plentiful and the price will Go lower. how much no one can say For the past several years turkey raisers have held of OH th1 price until tu" day or SO before ThanNs@jvuG. in fact. We hardly know the price until rhe ear gets in. They kept their finger on tho pulse O. th" market and make their prices accordmgly. This will be the year to cat turkey. however.

 "Of course," says Mr Hanno0 | turkeys are a holiday commodity and 1hcr" may l." slight boost IT price uy that time. but We look for lower prices this year In fact. some turkeys now are cheaper than chickens. while others compare fav. orably in price, '.'-
 While other commodities such as celery lettuce. grapefruit. oranges. crahberries, potatoes. sweet potatoes and the usual lin" Of staple "ftNins' will remain much on the same price basis as last Thanhsgiv- ing. the turkey price. while un- doubt"dly lower than last year. will depend somewhat on weather con ditions, according 10 D. 4. Per rottl. manager Of the |. & Y. Mar kct on Main street.
 If the warm weather Of last week had continued large quantities of turkeys would have been put on the r market, thus forcing the rricc ostft, lower, Mr. pcrrotri stated. Cool weather will influence some produ- ccrs to hold back some Of their stock for 3 higher price and this will have a tendency to send the market siyward.
 Whil" it is Impossible for anyone to predict the retail price of turkcy al this time, Mr. Porrotti after d trip 10 the New Yorl, market. said he expects the birds to sell in New 4 Britain for anywhere from 49 to D cents pound for Al stock. Chick ems will be priced to correspond. The turkey market is more boun- . tiful this year, Farmers in northern New England and throughout New { York state have raised more turkeys 1 than ever before. Mr Porrotfi says . The all the year around demand by ) hotels, restaurants and road houses { has helped keep the price on a'more . substantial plane. , b Chain Stores Waiting
 Chain stores agree that the price of turkeys will be lower but how much no one seems 10 know. A. & r. managers have been advised oi wonderfully low prices on turkeys With the exception Of apples, which are high. other Thanksgiving food siuffs will be about the same as last year. Clarence Hayward. one Of the managers, said.
 "Thc market is quite uncertain but there will be sufficient turkeys for everybody" was the statement made at the local district headquar, terS of the Economy stores.
 I've will not get into the meat ! lin" until after We have been or. . ganized , weeks. but other com. : moditics will rcmain about the samt . as last year" said Arthur I" Lake l president and general manager O | tho United Grocers. Inc.
