_ 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.
