Cranberries, a must" for most
holiday tables, have dropped to 10
cents a pound, approximately IS
cents under last years price.
Canned pumpkin, No. 21a can, is
selling for about 13 cents, a drop
of seven cents from last year, and
sweet potatoes at 13 cents a pound
are four cents less than in 1947.
Potato PRICE STEADY
Regular potatoes at 50 cents a
peck are about the same as year
ago, and vegetables generally are
said to be lower in price.
The local turkey situation is said
to fit into the national turkey short
age this fall, perhaps one of the
reasons for the sharp increase in
prices, although higher cost of feed
also is the target for a part of the
blame.
Shortage of turkeys is said to be
particularly evident in the eight to
18-pound bracket, in which most of
the small family demand falls.
Oysters at rs cents pint are
two cents under last years price.
Butter at rs cents a pound is also
