JSFICE OF THE W KEELING REGIsTER, |
TUESDAY, March II. !
The grocery trade is Frightening up
considerably, and large sales are made
1T figures given. Tie terrible condition
of the roads throughout the State has
bsd very depressing influence on gro
ccries. as the storekeepers cannot haul
their goods. There is very marked
improvement over the business OF last
week and the prices are no. cut.
The provision business is very fair,
During last week the prices fell frac.
ton, but they have again picked up and
are firm at quotations. Yesterday was
the best day as far as sales were concern
ed, that the salt meat men have had for
number of weeks. How long this revi-
val will last is an interesting question to
the provision dealers just now.
The fur season has closed. The skins
which were taken two or three weeks
ago are still in demand, but those which
have been taken within the past three or
four days are worthless.
The cheerful prospects which we men.
toned last week, of the grain market
have passed entirely out of sight, and
the trade is fat on its back again. One
of the largest -four merchants in the city
SAYS that the sales for al entire week will
barely keep the mill running day.
Wheat continues fuctusting from Sl.l5
to 1920.
Butter is very scarce, and sells for %

q to 30 cents.
