meat to some extent. Up to four o’clock 
of the day before the dealers kept the 
bluff up of not half enough turkeys to 
go around, and indeed this looked true 
to the people looking about the market, 
as only a medium or small supply was 
to be seen. Much poor stock had been 
seized by the authorities and had been 
damaged or spoiled on the road for rea¬ 
son of improper cooling and packing by 
shippers and delays during the warm 
weather. 
However Thanksgiving eve brought 
prices down as dealers saw they were 
stuck and they might as well lose by 
selling cheaper as lose by not selling at 
all and taking chances of keeping for 
another time. From 20 to 30 cents per 
pound bought the birds Wednesday even¬ 
ing. Good roasting chickens sold at 
from 10 to 22 cents per pound; fowl 18 
to 22 cents; broilers 22 to 27 cents. 
Roast pork was selling lower and many 
bought this at 16 to 18 cents per pound. 
Beef could be bought from 12 to 25 cents 
per pound. Lamb and veal held at 15 to 
20 cents. The above are average retail 
prices. 
Live beef at Brighton and Watertown 
was in good demand. Steers and oxen 
brought .06% to .06% per pound; cows 
and heifers of good quality $4.25 to $5.50 
per hundred pounds; veal calves .08% to 
.00% for best per pound; western hogs 
8% cents; sheep four cents; lambs seven 
cents; dressed hogs 10 cents; lambs 12 
cents. 
Horse market is quiet at this time with 
best heavy draft horses bringing $450 
each, medium $250 to $350 each; good 
common light stock $150 to $225. 
Eggs are down a little. Best fresh 60 
cents; fresh western 54 down to 50 cents; 
storage 30 to 33 cents. Butter is easy 
and reasonable; best 34% to 36% cents; 
good 30 to 32 cents. Cheese slow but 
steady at 17 to 20 cents. 
Grain prices are moving up a little, 
corn and cornmeal bringing $1.58 to 
$1.64 per bag; bran $25 per ton; mid¬ 
dlings and mixed feed $28.50 to $30 per 
ton; cotton-seed short at $33.50; iinseed 
$32; gluten $30. Good hay $19 to $23 
per ton; poor grades $13 to $18. 
Apples in demand both at local markets 
and across the water, with heavy prices 
paid for nice ones; $7 per barrel being 
about the top notch, with more going at 
$5 and $6. Common stock brings $2.50 
to $3.25 per barrel and about $1 per 
box. Onions in fair supply and demand, 
natives bring $2 and $2.25 per 100 pound 
bag. Potatoes hold at $1.45 per bag for 
Maine stock. Squash short and high; 
green squash brings 2% and 3 cents per 
pound; yellow 1% to 2% cents. Celery 
sells slowly except for a little fancy 
which brings $1.50 to $2 per box.; let¬ 
tuce 50 to S5 cents per box ; cucumbers 
$3 to $6 per box; tomatoes 30 cents per

] Crops in a/h 
Western Canada 
parts of the Provinces ot.v. 
' Manitoba, Saskatchewan and \» 
Alberta, have produced wonderful , 
yields of Wheat, Oats, Barley and 
Flax. Wheat graded from Contract 
to No. 1 Hard, weighed heavy and 
yielded from 30 to 45 bushels 
per acre: 28 bushels was about the 
/total average. Mixed Farming may be 
considered fully as profitable an industry as 
grain raising. The excellent grasses full of 
nutrition, are the only food required either 
'for beef or dairy purposes. In 1918, at Oht- 
g/cago. Western Canada carried off the 
' Championship for beef steer. Good 
schools, markets convenient, climate excel¬ 
lent. For tne homesteader, the man who 
wishes to farm extensively, or the Investor, 
Canada offers the biggest opportunity 
of any place on the continent.
