Western dressed turkey prices are going to be a little higher for the coming holidays than at Thanksgiving according to reports from large terminal markets and from local wholesalers. At mid. week it appears probable that the amount of increase would be about two cents pound over the Novem- Der holiday prices. Members of the Connecticut Turkey Producers as- sociation, on the other hand, have a larger proportion of their birds ready for the Christmas trade than they had last month and the out look is for slight reduction from price levels which this group es- tablished at that time for the fancy grade natives qualifying for the yellow tag. The price committee of the association is expected to announce its new price schedule for these native turkeys on Thurs day.
 At the weekly egg auction in Hamden Tuesday only eggs were on sale, the live poultry part of the sale is to be postponed until Friday in order to bring the date nearer to the coming holiday.
