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-

Musician, Renew Search.
Search for Selden Miller, organist nnd
art patron of this city, who disappeared
from his home, 312 South 10th street. No
vember 23 last, wns resumed today by hts
brothers following the discovery that the
body brought from Kenosha, Wis., la not
that of the missing man, It Is now bo
lieved Miller is alive.
B. Spencer Miller, Jr., one of the broth
ers, said today that he and other mem
bers of the Miller family were convinced
that the body was not that of their
brother. They have communicated with
the Chief of Police of Kenosha asking
rhlm If ho wants tho body returned to that
city. If he does not it will be burled
hero.
Dr. Alfred R, Allen, SOU Spruce street,
the Miller family physician, and Dr, Clar
ence Salvas, 1600 Locust street, who was
Selden Miller's dentist, with B. Spencer
Miller and Brolen Hare Mill examined
the body.
The examination lasted more than an
hour. At Us conoluslon tho brothers and
physicians were convinced that the body
was not that of Selden Miller. Dr. Salvas
declared positively from examination of
the teeth that the partial Identification
made at Kenosha by Emlon Hare Miller
had beon a mistake. Doctor Allen meas
ured the body and found that it was 5
feet 10 Inches tall. Selden Miller was S
feet 11 Inches tall, and as a body stretches
in death, that brought from Kenosha
could not bj hts body.
MOTHER'S FUNERAL TOMORROW.
Final arrangements are being made to
day for the funeral of Mrs. B, Spencer
Miller, mother of the missing roan. She

private burial In the Miller lot at South
Laurel Hill Cemetery.
B. Spencer Miller, Jr , declined today
to say what steps would be taken to re
new the search for his brother. He said
that he had reason to believe his brother
had been In Milwaukee. It Is probable
that every effort will be made In the
neighborhood of that dty to find the
missing musician.
A description of Miller will be sent to
the police In all the arge cities of the
Mlddlo West In the hope that he may
be found. Efforts also will be made, it
Is understood, to locate him In sanita

after the finding of the body In the Pike
River, near Kenosha, that In his opinion
it was the body of a man who had
hoarded at his home under the name of
Alfred Freeman After this man left
his home, he told the police, he learned
that he had entered a sanitarium tinder
the name of Miller.
The brothers In this city do not be
lieve this man was Selden Miller They
say there Is no reason why he should
take the name of Freeman, as It Is not
a family name Nevertheless, efforts will
be made to trace the man who boarded
with Morgan.

that when tho transfer was made that
