Show jarket Men Kept Easy Filling Orders Thanksgiving Trade, Both, in and Out of City, a Tremendous One Advance in Spring Chickens. With head and feet, 22 cents a pound, without head and feet, 25 cents a pound. Theso were tho prices quoted on turkeys yesterday along Market row, and but few purchasers stopped to lnqulro tho cause of the difference In price. Naturally purchasers pur-chasers were looking for tho bird at tho lowest posslblo .figure, and many bought at tho cheaper price, without stopping to consider that they would savd little or nothing on an olght-pound turkey, and would have the extra troublo of removing tho head and feet. Dealers holding tho turkeys at tho higher price say they will not sell at a less figure, that they will put them In cold storage and savo them fOr Christmas, when a great scarcity in turkcyB is looked for. rather than dispose dis-pose of them at less than 25 cents a pound. Spring chickens yesterday advanced to 20 cents. Dealers wore making a run on cranberries cranber-ries yesterday, the best quality being offered of-fered at 10 cents a quart, retail, This Is tho lowest price the berries have reached this season, and probably will hold good no longer than Thanksgiving day. Bananas Ba-nanas are being quoted at a littlo higher prices than heretofore, the best of them now gouig at-40 cents a dozen. Somo are to be had at from 25 to 35 cents, but the choice ones bring 40 cents. Nuts, dates and nppies wero sold In largo quantities yesterday.

Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO. Nov. 22. Delay to harvesting harvest-ing In Argentina owing to wet weather caused strength In wheat here today. At the close the December option was up lc. May Is up l3Jlc; corn showa a gain of c; oats arc up c, and provisions, 5 to 20c. From Initial transactions to tho end of the session the wheat market exhibited remarkable strength. At the opening December De-cember was up 1 to 1 cents at $1-0S to $l.i'0, and May to lc at $1.C9 to $1.C9. Tho advance was largely due to higher prices In foreign grain markets. Liverpool cables being up d, notwithstanding the severe break hero yesterday. The strength abroad was said to bo a result of active buying caused by reports from Argentina claiming that heavy rains had delayed harvesting In that country. From tho start shorts wero eager bidders bid-ders for wheat, but offerings at llrst wero limited. A little later there was some selling sell-ing as a result of liberal receipts In the Northwest. There was also considerable prollt-lukincr. which finally resulted In a slight reaction. At $1 0S for December, however, shorts again became active buyers buy-ers and prices started on another upward movement. Throughout tho remainder of the day tho tendency was toward a higher level. A number of reports were received from the Southwest stating that rain Is greatly needed and that much dnmagc Is being done by drought. Another bullish cotiHlderntion was a decreaso In primary recelots. Strength of cash wheat at Kansas Kan-sas Cltv was also a factor. Tho high do Int. on December for the dny was reached at $1.09. May touched $U0. Tho market closed with December at $1.09. May closed at $1.0931.09. Tho strength of wheat, small country receipts and higher prices at the sample tables were factors that held tho corn market firm. Tho volumo of trading was not large, business being largely of a 1 scalping character. December opened to c higher at 4S to 49c, Bold between 4St?-lSc and 49o and closed at 49c. May ranged between 45 and 46c and closed at 45346c. In sympathy with the wheat market oats held firm, but tho volume of trading was small. December opened a shade higher at 2Sc, sold up to 9c and closed at 27l329c May ranged between 310 31c and 313lc and closed at 31c. Local receipts were 101 cars. Perslstont buying of lard and ribs by packera caused a Hrm ton in provisions. At tho start the market wus a trlflo easier eas-ier on liberal receipts of hogs Later prices rallied and the market cloHOd firm, with January pork up 17320c at 512.57 12.6-). Lard was up to $7.
