Show FLOUR TAKES A RAISE OF 10 GENTS Strong Demand for Chickens All the "Week Vegetables Aro Becoming Becom-ing Scarce. Thcro was an Increase of 10 cents per 100 In tho prlco of flour yesterday, although thero was no raise in tho local price of wheat. This has been attributed to a scaro owing to a raiso in tho East, and It 1b expected that It will react in tho course of next wook, as thero Is no immediate necessity ne-cessity for tho increase. Thcro is an upward tendency in winter vegetables. Potatoes, by tho way, aro $1.60 per 100 pounds, and not SL50 per bushel. Tho demand for vegetables has been increasing in-creasing of lato and tho only stock to supply sup-ply tho demand 1b tho reserve of winter stuff, as it Is loo early as yet for tho new spring varieties, and until theBo aro forthcoming forth-coming no chango can bo expected oxcopt in tho shape of a hlghor price. This has been an exceptionally good week for everything In tho lino of poultry products. Almost ovcry day in tho wook saw a consignment of thorn como Into town cither from tho outlying country or from tho East, and tho end of tho week finds tho market practically sold out, and ready for tho fresh shipments that aro expected ex-pected on Monday. A fresh lino of goods was put In yesterday In tho shapo of spring broilers frozon, In cases of a dozen each, averaging from 20 to 21 pounds per dozen, at from 20 to 22 cents per pound. Thoro Is a slight scare In eggs, and tho only wholesale prlco is $5 per box. Fish weru all In last night; in fact, by nbon thero wero only a few bass and salmon sal-mon and trout loft. Prices wero steady. In tho moat market overy thing has been firm last weelc Spring lambs wero sold out during tho last few days, but a largo quantity will be In next week. An lm-provomont lm-provomont in quality may bo cxpoctcd thon. an well as a slight drop in tho price. Turkeys aro getting very scarce and there is hardly any demand for them. Hny, Grain and Straw.
