MARINEPRODICT MEET READYSALE Perch, Catfish and Eels in Demand—Meat Prices Are Lower. Marine products this morning were in fairly good demand for the Friday dinner trade, and retailers were on hand at Municipal Fish Market during the early hours in an effort to get first pick of supplies. While fish were not as plentiful as during the early Fall season, according to reports, wholesalers had supplies more than ample to supply demands. White and yellow perch, catfish and eels from points on fresh water of the Potomac River were in demand, and there was also a demand for trout caught in the lower Potomac and Chesapeake Bay. Oysters were in fair demand. It is believed the demand will increase as soon as cold weather appears. Meat Prices Lower. An easing of meat prices was re- ported, the market continuing steady and prices lower. Fairly heavy receipts of poultry were received this mornin Business is not especially brisk, how ever, and prices continue the same a: prices quoted the past few days. Dealers along the country line had attractive supplies of vegetables of almost every variety this morning, the demand not being heavy enough to keep supplies moving. ‘S‘r}mm(‘h and kale dropped to 50 and 75 cents a bushel, there was plenty of homegrown lettuce to be had, and deal- ers had light, supplies of peas and but- ter beans from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, the former selling at from $4 to $6 a bushel; California stock not 5o good, selling at $3.50 and $4. But- ter beans were about similarly priced. Today’s Wholesale Market. Butter—One pound prints, 50a51; tub, 49a50; store packed, 30a32.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, Novegxber 2—No busi- ness announcement this year has been received with a greater interest or more quickly appraised at its full value by the stock market than that of the Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday in re- gard to its proposed $100,000,000 elec- trification project. The news stimulated all of the cop- per metal and electrical equipment se- curities and had a generally stabilizing effect on the entire market. For most the industrials have had practically all the “breaks” in their favor. It is, theretore, significant that the largest program of development in prospect should come from one of the neglected rail groups. Bankers who are identified not only with the railroads but with industrials and public utilities said that the Penn~ sylvania project was only the beginning of a series of great electrical develop~ ments throughout the country which would be one of the most important in- cidents in American business life in the next decade. In its extent the Pennsyl- vania electrification will cover a greater railroad mileage than that of any sys- tem in this country or in Europe. The longest unbroken stretches of electrified line at present in the United States are those of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul in its Western divisions. Re- crntl{ the Great Northern has added to ts electric lines in its mountain ter- ritory. Aside from the suburban districts of | the Pennsylvania, New York Central, New York, New Haven & Hartford, Chicago & Northwestern and Illinois Central, railroad electrification has been progressing in regions of heavy traffic, such as those of the Norfolk & Western and the Virginian Railway. Eventually the New Haven expects to continue elec- A GOOD REASON —for the growth of the Kaufman Store is told by the bargains col- lected for tomor- row's shoppers. 1 | Always fresh in the beautiful brown ne the of radio? of radio as only \ ok of them in terms Come in and see how our budget plan will put the set you select into your home and give you months of pleasure while you are paying for it a little at a time.

BALTIMORE, November 2 (Special). —Turkeys should be more plentiful, this year for both ThAnksFlvlnx and Christ- mas holidays, according to reports re- ceived by commission men from the Eastern Shore and Lower Delaware peninsula, Farmers state that weather condi- tions have been favorable and that they have experienced good luck with their flocks. More turkeys have been seen on Lower Delaware farms this Fall than for sev- eral years, ‘The cond:'ion is probably due to the fact that the growers have increased thelr flocks, and many farmers who heretofore have not been engaged in this phase of the poultry industry have come to realize that there is good money in raising them. b B New Construction Contracts. NEW YORK, November 2 (#).—Con- struction contracts awarded in the New York metropolitan district in October amounted to $164,909,100, a gain of 24 per cent over September and 13 per cent above October, 1927, F. W. Dodge Corporation reports. The total was the largest ever reported in October and the largest for any month since De- cember, 1926.
