CHIGKENS ROOST '
HIGH OH PRICE LIST
' THESE WINTER DAYS
Broilers May Be Out of the
Reach of All Except the
wealthy Buyers by End
of Week.
Fastidious marketers who have been
hie to provldo chicken for Sunday din
ner In spite of tho "hard times" may find
tho tender blrtl roostlnfr beyond tho
Much of thetr pocketbooks before the
iveek la over, as the scarcity of fowls has
ent the price soaring-. Drolling chickens
sold ns high as 35 cents per pound In tho
Reading Terminal Market yesterday and
IU C Gethart, oho of the biggest poul
try dialers In tho city, declared that
epicurean palates that refuse to do -without
chicken meat may have to be satis
fied with the cold storago article.
While tho high prlco of chicken was
Virtually tho only Increase In tho week's
schedule, butter nnd eggs are still held
at high prices. Meats, both smoked and
fresh, are on sale at about tho same
rates which have been In evidence for
several weeks past. The winter rates,
which havo kept housewives hard at
"work figuring- since the cold weather
started, dealers predict, will remain sta
tionary forsomo time In spite of tho fact
that tons of meat aro being; held In cold
storage In this city after representatives
of tho nation at war abroad had refused
to consider the offers of American
speculators.
A tour of the city markets today dis
closed tho fact that dealers at the
Farmers' Market, 18th street and Ridge
avenue, maintain about tho same prices
for meat, produce and vegetables as
those which obtain at tho Reading
Terminal stalls. But a visit to tho 2d
and Pino streets market, which Is some
times called the "Poor Man's Market,"
showed a wldo difference, meat, butter,
eggs and produce being offered at tho
downtown stalls at big reductions over
tho other places.
Many of tho customers at tho 2d and
Pine. Market aro "hyphenated-Americans"
and would no more think of buy
ing at the Reading Terminal than of vis
iting the homes or hostelrlcs whither
most of the staples on sale at 12th and
Market streets find their way.
Strawberries at 40 cents and SO cents per
box ard finding buyers at tho Heading
Terminal, as well as butter at 43 cents
per pound; eggs at 35 cents per dozen
and roasting chickens ,ns high as 29 cents
per pound. If. C. Qerhart, who gets from
23 cents to 23 for his chickens, predicts
that the fowls will be out of reach next
Week.
Rib roast at 23 cents per pound, according-
to 'William R. Margerum, chuck at
18, rump and round steaks at 23, Blrloln at
82, hamburger for 20 Is not high. Lamb
chops bring 30 cents, veal 23, while pre
pared ham Is selling for 30 cents per
pound, fresh sausage for 23 and scrapple
for 14.
With the exception of tho pork prices
meat Is offered considerably cheaper at
the Ridge Avenue Market.
Down at the 2d and Pine streets stalls,
in tha oldest market house In Philadel
phia, some of the prices aro as follows:
Steaks, round and rump, 3 cents per
pound; roast, 14 cents: veal chops, 25;
lamb chops, 25; legs, 20; chickens, 14 to
25 cents per pound; guaranteed fresh-laid
eggs, 32 cents per dozen; butter, 29 cents
to 3S cents. Hams bring 12 cents per
pound, scrapple 7 cents, sausage IS, bacon
18, lard 12 cents and liver S (cents.
