Agriculture Commissioner John C. White released the third monthly Texas market basket survey. Turkeys showed savings of up to ten cents a pound in November while coffee costs rose about 20 percent. The statewide average for 20 commonly bought items fell to 18.19 from 18.26, amid producer losses of more than 1 per bird as demand lagged.
