PRICE OFTURKEYS SET ACCORDINGLY Cold Weather Makes Good Birds, Warm Weather Bad Ones, and Result Rules the Market. On lonely farm down In Virginia a woman In feeding a nock o turkeys nnd looking up at the October sky for weather signs; her eyes scorch the clouds anx iously as she wonders -what weather the taming few weeks trill bring. And In Texas, Delaware, Naif Jersey, Pennsyl vania, everywhere turkeys are raised, farmers are asking the earner question. For the weather between now and ThanksgiviRS will be the Hreat faotor In determining thi quality and the price ot the turkeys which will appear In thn rhfladelphla markets before long. If the weather remains open, so the bird' may roam about tn search of food, they will be scrawny, muscular fowls without much fat. On the. other hand, It several weeks of blustering weather and cold winds swwp over the farms and the turkeys do not range far, they will be come fat and plump-marketable tur keys. T'nllke other fowls, turkeys enn not be penned up In good weather and fattened successfully. Bad wither makes good turkeys; good weather makes bad turkeys. If weather Is fair and the birds do not show good condition, many turkey raisers will not kill their birds, but will save thorn for the Christmas market. If this occurs turkeys may be scarce thl year and the price will be correspondingly higher. Last year thou sands of turkeys spoiled became they were not disposed of at Thanksgiving and their condition when killed did not allow them to hold op under colrt wa. until the Christmas demand. Tho farm era may profit by this lesson. HIGH PRICES PROPHESIED. Judging from the prilling high price of other poultry and meat' commission men and poultry dealer expect turkeys to be mora expensive 'man usual this Thanksgiving. One man prophesied that the wholesale price will be as high as 11 cents a pound, dreswd, and the re tall price 31 cents. The average retail price predicted was about O cents. Tho European war, bugaboo for prices of all commodities, is not espect-d to play an important part In fixing the number of turkeys that will be sold this year, be cause the public insists on having turkey at Thanksgiving no matter how scarce money mav be. There are practically no turkeys In Philadelphia storage houses now Tber are slaughtered in the fall and winter, and. because of the law compellng the cold storage product to be sold within 10 months, the storage rooms are well rleared of the birds by the end of sum mer, although hotels oo.u-e a small de mand for them the vear around This -eason's van sard of turkeys that will supply Philadelphia tables is expected within tin nest two weeks. The We3t probably will furnish tho first birds, which will be killed and put in the refrigerator card befora the Eastern turkevs are slaughtered. A week before Thanksgiving the buds will be arriv ng from the nearer points. Delaware, t lie Pennsylvania counties, Now .ler.v. -Virginia, and the turke niaiket will open with a rush The birds which are not disposed of at Thanksgiving will be put In cold storage foi r'hristmaa. the goal for which the Thanksgiving turkey ma" ket Is but a stepplmj-stone- HELD UP BY HIGHWAYMEN AT7TH AND SPRING GARDEN Bobbers Take S53, Gold Watch and Diamond From 0.
