OCR Text	Show HENS SELL AT HIGHEST PRICES IN MANY YEARS. Chicago, May 20. Live fowls, the kind that produce eggs for table use, are now selling in this city at the highest price paid in many years, according ac-cording to statements of Southwater street men today. Incidentally the famous fa-mous Thanksgiving bird the turkey is now at a discount compared with its smaller rival, the former selling today at 15 cents a pound live weight, while live hens were bringing 16 cents. ' This condition of affairs is said to be due to the unusually high prlco which has prevailed for grain during the last year, and to the rcconl -breaking price of eggs, which, during the spring months, has been the highest ever recorded for the similar period in thois market.
