Dealers Hoping for Freezing
Temperature for Thanks.
giving Trade.


for tomorrow was good news to local
poultry dealers who already have
started dressing turkeys for the
Thanksgiving holiday trade. They
would fully appreciate drop to about
freezing, cold weather meaning a more
attractive condition of supplies and
enabling deliveries to a much better
advantage.
There is not the slightest likelihood
Of shortage in supplies of the king
fowl for the approaching holiday trade,
according to dealers, yesterdays re-
ceipts having been fairly heavy and
heavier receipts the next few days be-
ing anticipated.
Dealers are not yet able to def
nitely state what retail prices will pre-
vail the next few days. 1t was sug-
gested by a dealer this morning that
the price probably will be around 80
cents.
Rabbit Market Poor.
Continued warm weather has af-
fected the local market on rabbits to
considerable extent. Not only has
1t affected the demand, according to
dealers, but it has resulted in the
spelling Of much Of the receipts and
lowering prices.
Wholesalers today were returning ss
low as 10 cents for receipts from
nearby Maryland and Virginia and
more distant points, choicest receipts
bringing nothing over 10 cents.
Retail dealers were offering them
at prices ranging from 20 to 40 cents,
the pick of the receipts bringing the
latter price. Very few of them were
reported sold at 40 cents, however,
the price for average good supplies
ranging around 80 and IS cents.
