_ h I turkeys. geese, ducks and poultry of ,tb all descriptions will he lower this 4 Cliristmas than for years. There is zi - reduction of almost 30 per cent. from

last year's prices and this is caused by _the large supply which is almost flood-

~ ing the market. Turkeys will sell

‘around 20 to 22 cents per pound, pro- bably less. Geese will sell in the vicini-

ty of 18 ti\19 cents and ducks will also be going a low prices. lt is expected that fowl will sell ut 14 to 15 cents and no family should be without ii bird ol' some description this festive season. - The great reduction in prices is caused by the lack of export t.o Euro. penn countries this year. The United _States are taking scarcely any poultry from the maritime farmers, having more than they can use tor the sonic reason-no export. The trade with the West is also greatly restricted, in fact, there is no demand from that

insrliet, instead the Western farmers

have stock on their hands for which they cannot obtain a sale. - Last year the prices of turkey were
