SMOKED MEATS DAY p '9 iiiUaieHia AT BIG FOOD SHOW mmMM Tiirrow in ai w fc Second Delegation qf Wash- ingtonians View Exhibit at Reading Terminal Mar ket. A second out-oMown. delegation of market experts arrived In this city today to villi the Food Exposition now In prog rewi In tho Heading Terminal Market. They represent the Hay alid Ccntro Mar kets of Washington, D. C, and nro unanimous In declaring that they have ooma to learn as welt as to admire. Today will be marked as "Pork Prod ucts and Smoked Meats Day." Although these products are being featured, the other exhibits, such as fruit, vegetable, Sh and meat displays, continue to at ict much attention. Tho visiting experts were Introduced to A. Darlington Strode, n "pork specialist" of the Terminal Markot, who outlined for them somo of tho features of the business and the great extent of territory to which tho produce of tho Philadelphia market Is sent. PHILADELPHIA IN LUAD. "Wo not only ship sausage scrapple and other pork products to Pittsburgh and Harrlsburg," Bald Mr. Strode, "but us far West as Chicago and Detroit. This market has a splondld reputation. The demand from these distant cities Is not occasional. It Is steady and Is con stantly Increasing. If wo are to judge from letters received from somo of tho distant dealers, Philadelphia is known to them as a city whero llrst-class produce can bo obtained at reasonable prices." After a morning spent In examining the displays, the Washington market men wero taken to tho Terminal market res taurant and given an opportunity to cat some, of tho foods which they had been examining. This, they declared, wns an unusual and an excellent feature of tho Philadelphia market, as It afforded cus tomers an opportunity to seo how tho goods they bought should be prepared. LAMB AND FISH IUSE. Although p'rlcea on most produco liavo remained steady slnco the coming of cold weather thcro has been a slight rlso In the prlco of lamb and u noticeable Increase In tho .prlco of such fish as Spanish mackerel, wcakllsh and blue fish. This Is offset by a decllno In tho prlco of turkey, which Is now quoted at prices ranging from 23 to DO conts a pound for first-class "nearbys." Tho poultry dealers say that the holding over of many birds Intended to bo killed for tho Thanksgiving market. and the fact that cold weather has arrived to stay will keep the prices of this fowl at the present quotntlon and may even drop tho price of choice birds as low as So to 2S cents a pound. FINE FRUIT CROP RDPOUTCD. Although prices In tho fruit market are steady, an excellent crop of oranges, grapefruit and pineapples Is reported, and It Is expected that within n, month there will bo a decline In prices rather than the usual rise. At present grapes are sold at prices ranging from 15 to M cents, a. box, eating apples at 35 cents a half peck, oranges at figures ranging from SO to GO cents a dozen, grapefruit at from 60 cents to $1 a dozen and Seckle pears at SO cents a till. DEMAND FOR GAME GROWING. There is an Increasing demand for same Is the market and although the only wildfowl to bo had Is duck, and the only meat is venison, there Is a good arKet for both, venison Is quoted at 70 cents a pound and wild duck at prices ngtng rrom 51 to Ji a pair In the Read- ng'Termlnal Market.
