TURKEYS SLUMP TO THIRTY CENTS Housewives' Refusal to Buy Beats Price Down From 45 Cents CRITICISM FOR DEALERS The prlco of best-grade turkeys in this city has fallen ten to fifteen cents In the last twenty-four hours. Tho market began its slide yesterday morning, and up to noon today was still falling. Turkeys that sold for forty to forty-five cents a pound are today selling for thirty nnd thirty-two cents. Tho reason, tradesmen and commission men say. Is that there is hot tho expected demand for them. Tho consumer Is re fusing to pay them unprecedented high prices, preferring to eat beef. The situation was summed up by Wil liam D, Edson, president of Edson Brothers, a wholesale' poultry Arm on Dock street as follows: "A lot of Idiots, commission men. went down South' this year and paid exorbitant prices to the farmers. They had to because the farmers held' off, quoting the "hlgtf prices given by the newspapers. "The stock wasn't bought Intelligently. Some of tho b.uyers paid prices equal to somo retail prices last year. Those men counted on the public paying their prices with a little added for profit. Tho publla Isn't paying them, and there you are. The market Is glutted. Thousands of the birds aro going Into the warehouses because their Is no market for them. The house wife Is not buying turkey this year. "I believe that this will teach tho com. mission men a lesson and that they will exercise more Judgment when they buy the Christmas atock. Christmas turkeys will sell perhaps for as cheap as 35 cents a pound retail,' 30 cents wholesale, because the farmers will not, get the high prices that they did for this crop." Turkeys aro selling for as low as thirty and thirty-two cents a pound in the neigh borhood of Second and Callowhlll strets, regarded by many as the "turkey center," Many of the wholesale houses are selling the birds retail to get rid of them.
