Waterbury Produce Market
Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture, B. P. Storrs, local agent)

The price schedule announced by the price committee of the Con- necticut Turkey Producers associa- tion Thursday, for the Christmas
 trade, is two cents a pound lower
 wholesale and four cents lower re-
 tail. The new prices are 34 cents per pound and 42 cents respective
 ly, these prices applying to the yell
 low tag turkeys which are those passing the fancy grade inspections
 and produced by members of the Connecticut association. The asso- citation committee decided on these
 lower prices in spite of the fact that the western dressed turkeys are selling higher than at Thanks giving because most of the local producers of this state are able to
 market a much larger proportion of their flocks now than were we'll fin- ished and ready at Thanksgiving time.
 As stated in this report at mid week the western dressed turkeys are selling higher than at Thanks , giving time by two to four cents
 per pound. Large chain store have announced Christmas prices of B cents compared with 29 cents a pound last month. At meat whole salers the western turkeys are us-
 ually selling two or three cents higher.
 The final 1884 potato crop esti- mates, based on information of December 1 by the United States department of agriculture, places the total crop for the United States at a little more than 385 million bushels, an increase of about two million bushels over the estimate
 a month ago and 65 million more than the final 1883 crop estimate. The estimate for Maine was re- duced about one million bushels, but most other states were expect ed to have slightly larger crops, or were left with unchanged esti- mates, compared with November 1. The apple crop prediction for the whole country was increased from a little more than 72 million bush els on November 1, to over 75 mill lion the first of this month.
