FEB TfflEJS Growers Apparently Not Sat isfied With Price of Twenty-Three Cents. SATURDAY IS BIG DAY Bulk of Birds for Christmas Market to Be Received by Local Buyers on Fri day and Saturday. The appeal to growers to ship turkeys to the east at a price of 23 cents per pound resulted in fiilure, as not enough birds wera received today to make up even one carload. Growers apparently are taking a chance on Friday and Saturday's market rather than sell for eastern shipment. Four or five loads of birds came in today and were taken by the Farm Ilureau and by Georse Kohlhagen, local buyeres, but the number was very limited and not enough to make any material differ ence in the market. The price paid today was 23 cents as advertised by the buyers. The price will remain the same for Sat urday, according to Mr. Banning or the Farm Bureau Exchange. A few sales at 25 cents have been reported. One or two buyers of the countv received orders for a limited number of birds and purchased enough prime fowls to fill the orders at a price slightly In advance of the regular market, rnese naies, How ever, have not been of sufficient sise to materially affect conditions. Birds for the Christmas trgde will come lri on Friday and Saturday, and it is expected that receipts will be quite heavy on those days. It was reported today that the market in the large centers Is not as strong as It has been, and that wholesale buyers are extremely wary about quoting a price. The market may become stronger, and u so me imiu may advance to 25 cents, but It ap pears to be the general opinon that 211 cents will be the top price paid. The birds being brought In at the present time are very fine and the nmilltv is excellent. It Is expected that there will be more turkeys for i ha f-brlntmiis ninrket than were brought In at Thanksgiving time.
