and  wants  a  large,  plump  turkey,”  ob¬ 
served  a  dealer,  ‘‘but  turkeys  are  likely  to 
come  thin  at  this  time.  About  Christmas 
the  turkey’s  are  heavy  and  fat,  but  the 
consumers  are  rather  tired  of  poultry 
then  and  are  looking  for  small  turkeys. 
People  who  know  good  value  often  take 
home  one  of  these  fat  old  bulls.  If  they 
are  well  steamed  before  roasting  they  are 
good  eating  and  you  don’t  have  to  keep 
turning  them  ov  r  to  cut  off  any  meat. 
We  have  to  ask  nearly  40c  a  pound  for 
fat  young  turkeys  and  buyers  may 
whistle  over  it  and  walk  out.  It  means 
about  50c  a  pound  retail.” 
TTT ANKSfHVING  FORECAST. 
Said  S.  I-.  Burr  &  Co.:  “It  looks  as 
though  good  stuff  would  be  short.  Light 
receipts  of  choice  stock  tend  to  unusual 
prices  for  fowls,  chickens,  ducks,  geese 
and  turkeys.  The  demand  will  be  for 
fancy  poultry,  and  extreme  prices  should 
be  obtained  for  that  class,  while  tbiu, 
light  poultry  will  be  neglected.  Shippers 
wishing  best  results  for  the  Thanksgiving 
markets  should  time  stock  to  arrive  Nov. 
22  and  not  later  than  Nov.  25.  So  far  as 
practicable,  put  Up  each  kind  by  them¬ 
selves  and  if  possible  grade  turkeys  as 
first,  including  select,  fancy  stock  suit¬ 
able  for  the  best  trade,  and  second  includ¬ 
ing  those  not  suitable.  Old  turkeys 
should  be  packed  by  themselves.  The  de¬ 
mand  for  live  poultry  is  not  likely  to  be 
large.  We  expect,  if  supplies  are  not. 
excessive,  live  fowls  and  chickens  will 
soil  at  18  to  10c;  ducks  and  geese,  20c 
upward,  and  turkeys,  25  to  30c.  It  looks 
as  though  fancy  young  turkeys  would 
bring  35  to  10c ;  old  turkeys,  30  to  32c : 
fowls,  selected,  large,  22  to  23c;  medium, 
18  to  20c;  geese,  20  to  22c;  ducks,  20  to 
23c;  large  chickens,  4  '/•>  lbs.  and  upward, 
25  to  28c;  medium  chickens,  12  to  23c.” 
EGGS  HIGHER. 
The  end  of  almost  six  months  of  ad¬ 
vancing  egg  values  shows  no  weakness. 
The  only  sign  of  coming  change  in  the 
trend  of  the  market  is  the  appearance  of 
small  pullet  eggs  in  quantity,  much  to  the 
disgust  of  dealers.  ‘‘Every  year  about 
this  time  we  have  a  row  with  our  ship¬ 
pers  and  our  salesmen  over  pullet  eggs,” 
said  one.  “We  can’t  make  our  shippers 
see  that,  these  little  egga  are  not  wanted 
here  and  will  bring  only  about,  half  price. 
They  think  eggs  are  eggs,  and  l  suppose 
they  will  sell  in  country  markets  if  mixed 
with  the  others,  llut  they  should  be  kept 
out  of  shipments  to  this  market.  Only 
this  morning  we  quarrelled  with  our  egg 
mau  because  he  let  a  batch  of  pullet  eggs 
go  at.  2Sc*t  but  he  said  it  was  the  best  he 
could  do.  There  is  a  steady  demand  for 
big,  brown  hennery  eggs  and  the  market 
is  two  cents  higher  at  GOc,  and  not  many 
could  be  had.  The  jobbers  aud  retailers 
are  asking  all  SOlts  of  prices  owing  to  ab¬ 
sence  of  any  real  wholesale  sun  ply  of  this 
grade.  Alt  eggs  are  in  light  receipt. 
Even  cold  storage  stock  is  up  $1  a  case,  | 
and  some  holders  refuse  to  sell  even  at  1 
the  advance,  but  say  their  stock  will  be 
wanted  for  export.  Eastern  extras  are 
50  to  54e  and  Western  prime  firsts,  43 
to  45c. 
ADVANCES  IN  HOTTER  AND  CHEESE, 
Dairy  markets  are  higher.  Northern 
creamery  extra  sells  at  38c,  a  rise  of 
fully  one  pent  since  last,  report.  Demand 
seems  fair  for  all  grades,  and  receipts  are 
falling  off,  f  torage.  butter  is  in  active 
demand  at  about  the  same  nrices  as  the 
corresponding  grades  ot  the  fresh  make 
it  is  really  better  than  the  milk  of  cur- 
.ent  receipts,  much  of  which  has  to  grade 
as  firsts  selling  at  about  37%e.  The 
cheese  market  is  higher  at  24c  for  choice 
October  full  cream,  but  prices  are  nom¬ 
inal  owing  to  lack  of  buying,  and  the  wild 
behavior  of  Western  and  Canadian  mar¬ 
kets  tinder  stimulus  of  actual  or  antici¬ 
pated  foreign  buying.  Said  O,  II.  Stone 
<&  Co. :  “The  Boston  market  has  ad¬ 
vanced  another  cent  in  sympathy  with 
other  markets,  on  butter.  Prices  are  so 
high  that  trade  is  quiet  and  retailers  are 
only  buying  from  hand  to  mouth.  Whole¬ 
sale  business  is  mostly  speculative.  Best 
prints  are  43c,  which  means  a  retail  price 
pretty  near  50c.  If  prices  go  a  hair 
above  that  figure,  the  public  will  curtail. 
The  chain  grocery  stores  are  still  selling 
at  close  to  the  wholesale  price,  lint  they 
are  selling  storage  butter  which  they 
bought  at  much  lower  prices  and  store 
themselves.  The  public  is  already  cut¬ 
ting  down.  Many  of  our  dealers  who 
have  taken  uniform  amounts  for  years 
are  scaling  their  orders  by  one-third  or 
one-half,  which  means  that  their  con¬ 
sumers  are  making  a  pound  of  butter  last 
longer  than  it  used  to.  The  quality  of 
receipts  is  good  for  the  season,  but  many 
creameries  are  closing  for  the  Winter. 
The  best  cheese  is  24  to  25c.” 
APPLE  MARKET  STRONG. 
Demand  is  picking  up  with  cold  weath¬ 
er.  Windfalls  are  getting  out  of  the  way 
and  the  bulk  of  the  hand-picked  crop 
seems  to  be  in  strong  hands  ready  to  hold 
it  for  higher  prices,  Said  a  dealer:  “The 
market  grows  stronger  almost  daily.  Not 
long  ago  we  thought  we  were  doing  well 
to  get  .$2  for  Baldwin ;  today  I  sold  some 
for  $3,25.  Demand  is  good  on  all  the 
best  fruit.”  The  range  oil  hnml-pieke  l 
standard  Winter  kinds  is  $2  to  $3.50. 
The  common  run  of  No.  1  Baldwin  brings 
about,  $2.50.  Windfalls  and  No.  2s  are 
$1.50  to  $2  or  50  to  75c  per  box.  Mc¬ 
Intosh  top  the  market  at  $3  to  $5,  but 
one  lot  from  Middlesex  County,  Massa¬ 
chusetts,  was  sold  at  $3  per  40-Ib.  West¬ 
ern  style  box.  New  York  and  native 
quinces,  some  very  poor,  range  from  $1.60 
to  $5  per  barrel.  Cranberries  are  higher 
at  $<>  to  $i»50  for  early  and  $7  to  $8  for 
late.  Crapes  are  dull,  at  15  to  18c,  pony 
basket. 
VEGETABLE  TRADE  FAIRLY  STEADY. 
Leading  vegetables  are  settling  to  Win¬ 
ter  basis  with  supply  and  demand  quite 
well  balanced  at  this  level ;  price  changes 
mostly  confined  to  cabbages  up  25c,  at 
$2.25  to  $2.50  per  barrel.  Onions  very 
firm  at.  $4  per  100  lbs.  Parsnips  up  25c 
at  $1.50.  Hothouse  tomatoes  higher,  at 
15  to  17e  per  lb.  Potatoes  have  been 
holding  about  steady  at  some  recovery 
from  the  low  point,  and  the  undertone 
seems  strong.  The  price  at  the  yards  is 
around  $3.50  per  bag  or  $1.00  per  bushel 
in  hulk.  Field  beans  are  strong  at  $7  for 
but  grades  and  supplies  seem  very  light. 
MEAT  PRICES  VERY.  FIRM. 
"Beef  is  higher  at  10c  for  best  Western, 
hut  country  dressed  cow  beef  shows  no 
change  at  10c.  Best  Eastern  veals  bring 
37c  and  Eastern  Fall  lambs.  34  to  3 4 V{j c. 
Country  dressed  hogs  sell  at  11  to  43e. 
GRAIN  AND  HAY  STRONGER. 
After  sagging  off  a  little,  corn  meal_  is 
back  to  $2.25  per  bag  and  hominy  $45  a 
ton.  Alfalfa  meal  is  scarce  at  $80.50 
Wheat  is  $82.50  and  middlings  $33.  Cot¬ 
tonseed  and  linseed  are  $45.  and  gluten 
feed,  $40  to  $11.  Tho  position  of  hay  is 
strengthened  by  the  shortage  of  cars  for 
shipment,  while  the  colder  weather  helps 
the  demand.  Dealers  have  put  up  prices 
on  some  grades.  Good,  coarse  Eastern  is 
$38  to  $10;  fancy  clover  mixed.  $17  to 
$18;  Alfalfa.  $10  to  $22;  swale,  $12;  rye 
straw,  $13.50. 
1IOGS  HIGHER  AT  RRIGHTON. 
An  advance  of  about  25c  per  hundred 
pounds  for  live  hogs  is  noted  at.  Brighton. 
The  range  is  now  $10  to  $10.50.  Calves 
range  from  10  to  12c.  values  being  helped 
by  the  high  price  of  calf  skins.  Steers 
sell  at  7  to  8c;  cows,  5  to  0%c;  bulls.  5 
to  Oc;  sheep,  5  to  7c;  lambs,  9  to  10c. 
Good  milch  cows  are  in  fair  demand  at 
$05  to  $100.  G.  B.  F.
