Christmas Turkeys
Scents a Pound Over
Thanksgiving Price

Christmas turkeys are costing
housewives here about cents per
pound more than Thanksgiving day
prices, a check showed today.
Principal blame for the increase,
wholesalers said, falls on a to 6
cent increase in the wholesale price
of freshly killed birds within the
last 80 days. Wholesale prices here
yesterday were 81 to IS cents a
pound for hens and ranged from So
to SIS cents for toms.
However, one chain advertised 12-
pound hens for 63 cents a pound
and listed toms at 81 cents. Pre-
Thanksgiving prices at the chain
stood at SO and 81 cents.
Higher prices are posted in most
stores for larger birds, with another
chain listing turkeys over II pounds
at 81 cents a pound and a 62-cent
price for those under II pounds. A
scarcity of small-weight turkeys
drove prices at one store up to IS
cents a pound for those under II
pounds.
Bread prices for diversified loaves
used by hotels, restaurants and in
stitutions were raised cent q
pound in most bakeries yesterday
with the price of the standard loaf
used in most homes remaining un-
! changed.
