The trend of prices on holiday turkeys and the outlook for a large volume of receipts are now causing much uneasiness to receivers, who now admit that they are completely at sea as to what the coming holiday market holds forth. Shipments from Texas so far have been ex tremely light and, according to re ports from various shippers, the supply for the holiday market will not be over 60 per cent of last year's shipments during the same period. Texas shippers generally offered their turkeys at the close of last week at 3940c track, but competi tion became so keen that the track price advanced to 4243c. Later In the week over 10 cars were report ed sold to California buyers at 4446c track, Texas. Kansas and Missouri are generally asking 45c track for a equal proportion of young hens and torn. A shipment of five cars of Idaho turkeys In tended for New York has been re sold to San Francisco buyers at 46Jc. track. One of the largest turkey ship pers in Chicago, who repacks northern turkeys for this . market, stated that he bad sold more thsn 20 cars for holiday delivery to Texas Carlot Shippers, seaboard, as many of them will be Dec. 18th. Each member to distributed In the New England ! bring gift, value not exceed- states. Will Send Stock to Florida Tennessee shippers report that comparatively few of their turkeys will come on the New York market this year, as the demand for Flor ida will absorb most of the stock packed for the holidays. As the week advanced the situation be came quite tense. Some of the largest receivers do not look upon present prices as safe, but every thing that comes here Is under such a high overhead cost that owners are holding for a profit. The disquieting feature Is the atti tude of the retail dealers. Most of them lost money on their Thanks giving turkeys and will be con servative buyers for the coming holidays. The fact that Christmas falls on a Friday and that most of the large mercantile houses will close Saturday, making It a three day holiday. Is advanced by aome as a strong argument in favor of the present high prices. As the same condition prevails at the New Years' holiday, conservative oper ators admit that there is little like lihood of a sharp decline In prices until the New Year's demand Is supplied. Another sustaining factor Is that many of the shippers are consign ing their, turkeys direct to the freezers and, in case of a frozen market, the advance loaned by the warehouses would probably be in 4 Ing 25 cents. Refreshments. the shipments out of Texas would be less than one-half of the quan tity expected. So far, eastern buy ers were takirg everything as soon as packed and for the past two days San Francisco buyers were on the spot. They commenced buy ing at 44o and are now paying 46c track, extras. Retailers Call Price Too High Some of the leading retail poul try dealers who are afriljated with the master butchers' organisation state that the present prices of tur keys are too high for popular re tall trade, and that they will only purchase turkeys to meet what ever orders they may have on hand. They also argue that senti ment that obtains at Thanksgiv ing, which Inspires the purchase of turkeys regardless of cost, does not obtain at the Christmas and New Year's holidays, and that ducks, geese, roasting chickens and ca pons will get the preference over high turkeys, and that other meats will also be substituted for tur keys when the retail price Is In ex cess of 50c lb. As the Christmas holiday week gives buyers four days to shop around, it Is expected that they will make a concerted effort to break prices.

CHICAGO. III., Dec. 15. The great scarcity of highway engin eers, duo to America's extraor dinary road and street building program for which nearly one and one-half billion dollars Is being spent annually by the Federal government and the states, coun ties and cities, will be one of the subjects to receive thorough con sideration at the mammoth good roads convention to be held in ths city, January 11 to IS. The convention will be composed of from 25,000 to 30,000 highway officials, engineers, contractors, manufacturers of road building equipment and material men. as well as good roads advocates gen erally and will be held under the auspices of the American Road liullders' Association. The demand for good highway engineers Is so heavy and the supply so limited that highway of ficials are confronted with a Ber ious problem. Road material In terests have already taken cog nliance of the situation and are planning the establishment of temporary schools for training young men to become highway engineers. The field Is a lucra tive one and young engineers now graduating from highway engin eering course at technical schools are finding splendid positions Im mediately open to them at good salaries. Discussing the need for more highway engineers, Charles M. I'P hsm. state highway engineer of North Carolina; business director or the American Road Builders' Association; convention manager of the coming good roads meeting, and director. Highway Research Board, National Research Council, declared today that he Is at a loss to understand why more college students do not take up highway engineering. "For several years, highway commissioners and chief engineers have been confronted with a great scarcity of engineers," said Mr. I'pham. "A large number of en gineers from other branches have lieen rolng into the highway field. but the amount of work being done by the highway Industry Is great that the demand for ATTENTION ARTISANS !
