TURKEYS ARE FIRM.
ON D. c. MARKET.
Retail Price of Abou'
Cents Predicted /
Holiday Trade.

raising centers informed dealers Of |
continued arm condition Of the
turkey market, with supplies great |
enough TO supply increased demand |
for the Christmas holiday trade.
Turkeys this season are in much bet
ter condition than usual.
1t Is expected that retailers will |
hold back their orders until the last !
minute In order to get some idea as
to prices at chain stores.
A retail price Of around 80 cents |
was what one dealer thought would
prevail. He thought IS cents would
be the highest price for choicest tur-
keys.
