WEDNESDAY, April 70. !
During the past week there has
been a decided change in the prices for
nearly all classes OF goods, and the de-
mand has materially increased. The
cause OF this excitement In the mar ket
is the growing darker Of the war cloud
in Europe, which Threatens to burst at
any moment, and small dealers are lay
ing in larger stores than usual TO be
prepared for any advance in prices
which may occur. Flour mas jumped
from $3.50 TO $4,000 per barrel, and
there is fair prospect of a further ad-
vance. In the grain line wheat is IN
better demand at an advance OF
from 20 to 25 cents per bushel, and Is
quoted at Sl85 as the maxium. Grocer
les are in fair demand, with an advance OF
t@i cents tor sugars, which will probs-
bly, go still higher the present week.
Provisions are firm at i@4 cent higher
with favorable prospects for still fur
Their advance. Butter and eggs are
about the same as last week, the lstter
commodity going of slow. We quote:
