CHRISTMAS IN LONDON. THE COST OF THE CHRISTMAS

"DINNER.

A walk round the London produce markets, says a recent London dispatch to the Indian Press, revealed plentiful supplies of most Christmas foods. At Smithheld turkeys and geese were more plentiful than in any year since 1914," were them. The turkeys were being sold although supplies were not what they were then. The turkeys were being sold at 35. a pound, and geese at 29. 3d., but n'dealer said that unless there was a rush of orders these prices were not likely to be maintained. Earge, consignments were expected from France in place of those which usually come from Italy “and Aus tri-countries which are now off our markets. All kinds of fresh fruits were plentiful in Covent Gardea except the best sorts of apples. Spanish oranges, Fespecially those from the Denis districts, Fate of very fine-quality, and prices were at a more reasonable level than they have. been for some. years. There were not mans Valencia oranges about, but big supplies were expected before Christmas.

Fruit for the pudding was rather scarce and was likely to be dearer at Christmas. Scarcely any Valencia raisins were to be had and. extreme prices were being paid for mus catels.

There was, however, good news for those who are fond of crystallised fruits. The position of the French exchange has fav oured our buyers, who were bringing in large supplies of these delicacies at quite reasonable prices, including some very, fine lots of crystallized bigürreaux, apri- cots, and greengages.

wine merchants are accustomed to hold stocks over a considerable period they are not inclined to respond to panic, and forced liquidation must not be expected." People who deal with established wine merchants may place Christmas orders for good claret at prices ranging from 438. a dozen, and for sound Graves at 476. and upwards. True Sauternes, satisfying the French laws as to origin, are sold at 55s, though for the better qualities the price is higher. Fine Burgundy is still scarce, but a genuine Burgundy of an ordinary type is available at 548. a dozen.. For wine of fine colour, sufficient age, and of famous years, one has to pay more than was asked for the first brands of champagne four years ago. Sherry, port. and Madeira now pay a duty of 1x a bottle, as compared with ed a bottle 19 months ago, but they may be said to be cheaper in spite of the doubled duty. These three wines should be obtained from 03s. a dozen, but consumers must bear in mind that if they want old-fash ioned port," made from the grapes proper to this wine and fortified with the white. brandy distilled from similar grapes, instead of a kind of sweetened Denro claret fortified with inferior brandy, they must be prepared to pay at least 808. o dozen for winea from the wood For vintage ports, even of the year 1908, the price is not less than 13. a bottle.
