REAL ESTATE TURKEY MARKET INTERESTS TRADE Dealers Anxious to Know Drift of Prices for Holi- day Offering. Poultry dealers continue to specu- fate as to the probable condition of the turkey market for the Thanksgiving holiday season. Live turkeys have been auoted around 40 cents most of thei week while dressed stock has .brought 50 and 55 cents. It is believed by some of the dealers that retail prices prob- ably will not be determined until the | first. of Thanksgiving week. | Local dealers this morning said they | were without definite information as to the probable prices for the holiday mar- | ket. They are certain that turkey raisers in Texas, Tennessee and other States in the South have ample sup- plies for both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons, but through just what channels they will pass on | their way to market is problematical. last Year's Drop. Prices Iast year took a decided drop shortly before the holiday market, and | business became brisk, due, it is stated. to the handling of large quantities of the birds in chain stores.

They brought around 28 cents a pound. Carp, white perch and cat- fish, also caught in the lower Potomac, were about the only other fish caught there. Carp brought 20 cents, perch 10 cents and catfish 8 cents a pound for the Friday and week-end trade.

Many of them are content with chickens, ducks, geese, roasts and rabbits.” Opening of the game season in Vir- ginia Thursday of this week is expected to result in increased receipts of rab- bits in the Jocal market in the near future. There is not the usual big de- mand for rabbits this season, it is staged, due partly to the warm weather that has prevailed since November 1, :&‘n!nx day of the season Io{hfiosm- and sale of the game in city. Another reason, it is stated. is the cir- culation of a report that many of the rabbits are diseased. .
