Turkeys 27 to 30 Cents Live.
One thousand turkeys, iiveraging 1 pounda "to the bird," or ivn aggi-egat of 13,000 pounds x>t feathered de¬ licacy, were aold Thursday in o*?/- hour at the opening of tho annual turkey sales in Hatfield, As the tur¬ key sales have put the town on tlie map to the extent that "the Hatfield price" practically sets the cost of the Thanksgiving dinner of all Philadel¬ phia who muat have turkey, Phfa- delphians can now tako it for grant ¦ ed that, if they eat turkey, they'll pay a real price for that privilege.
The "highest figures ever obtained" prevailed at tho Hatfield sale—$30 7ii per hundred, live weight, wholesale, being the high figure for first choice turkeys; $28 second, and $27 third. Tho lowest price was 21 centsi ;», pound, paid for a few tfUl-enders.
