THE HOUSEWIFE HAS
GREAT CAUSE TO
REJOICE
She Can Buy Produce Cheap
er in st. Paul at Present
Than in Any Other City
Prices Generally Show
Heavy Decline From Quo
tations Of One Year Ago.

st. Paul as a living center is one Of
the cheapest places on the continent.
An investigation among the local mar
ketS yesterday showed that the best of
produce may be bought by the ST. Paul
housewife for prices that no other city
in the United States can boast. And
that there is this year a great improve
ment over the prices of 1902 no doubt
remains.
Last year creamery butter was SELL
ing out of the wholesale establishments
on Third street at q and % cents; this
year the best of the kind is going for
% cents. Eggs that last year sold for
Is cents are bought now by the dealers
for IS cents. Packing stock butter, one
year ago yesterday, sold for 26 cents,
yesterday it went out the doors of the
wholesalers at IA cents. Brick cheese,
on April Is, 1902, sold at wholesale for
10 cents; yesterday it was exactly the
same. There is not SO much difference
noticeable among the cheeses as among
the other articles. Full cream twins are
selling for Is cents, just cents more
than at the same time last year.
Poultry Is Higher.
Poultry. of all kinds Is scarce this
year. Live hens that last year brought
II cents, call for as high as 15 cents,
wholesale, this season. Young roosters

this season. The turkey is the scarce
bird Of all; one year ago yesterday he
was worth 9k cents, and yesterday he
was calling for Is and 16 cents per
pound. In veal there is little appreci-
able difference in wholesale circles, last
year it sold for ~ cents on April Is;
and this year, on the same date. 1t call
ed for SC.
Barn stuff is on the whole a little
In advance of last year. Upland hay
that last year sold for 81, is today go
ing at $11; timothy yesterday was SELL
ing at wholesale for $12, and one year
ago at SO. Oats that last year whole
sailed at SO cents, went yesterday for
45 cents. Corn last year was So cents,
and this year 40 cents. Bran was SIG
last year, and this season it is at $12
per ton.
Apples are appreciably cheaper this
season than one year ago. The same
article that last year wholesaled at 81
Is this year selling at 81 and $3.50.
Lemons at wholesale last year brought
from $3.50 to $3.50; this year 81 less
gets them. Potatoes for a long time
have seen no greater drop in a twelve
month than during the last year. Last
April saw them going for GO cents and
all the way up to 92 cents. This month
they are wholesaling at from % cents
to sc cents.
Retail Prices Lower.
In the retail circles the same story
was heard. At Michaud Bros The
G o e was told that eggs which sold
at this time last year and were hard to
get for 20 cents, are now to be had in
quantities for Is cents. This was ex-
planned by the fact that last year the
trust-composed of the Swifts, Ar
mours, Cudahys, etc.-bought up all
the eggs in sight, thinking to corner the
market; but their fingers were badly
burned in the venture, and this year
they are leaving the visible supply to

the country. Butter last year was away
in advance of what THIS Spring has SO
far seen it.. During the middle of April
last year it sold for 80 and 80 cents:
this year the housewife thinks if high
If she is asked more than 25 or 81

year for Is cents, very.Ilittle difference
from that of last year. One wear ago
yesterday 100 pounds of flour brought
all the way from 1925 to $3.50: this
year 1t stands pat at 81. Canned stuffs
of all kinds, fruits, fishes and yegeta-
bles are much cheaper than twelve
months ago. 49,
In the meat market the same drop ia
felt. One proprietor Of a meat market
said that were one to take a beef car
cass and average the entire weight
with one of the same number of pounds
sold last year, that, cut for cut. II
would average 8 cents less on every
pound. The same is true of hams and
all cured meats. Mutton is high very
high-indeed, the market man would
be as well pleased If no one ever asked
for a pound of any sort of Sleeps meat.
Dried fruits that sold last. wear for
90 cents per pound are going now for
1215, and the same drop is felt in all
groceries.

ed to Capt. Andrew Mylo, who is In
charge of the engine house. that his
men take possession of the lot and-con-
vert it into a small park. The fire
men received the suggestion with en-
thusiasm. and Dr. Ohage, having OBJ
tanned for them permission from Mr..
Somers, the owner Of the property,
they Immediately set to work to i'm
prove it. For the past two weeks they
have been busily engaged clearing
away the refuse and filing in the hol-
lows. In two weeks the ground will
be ready for the grass seed. In the
meanwhile rakeS, wheel barrows, picks
and shovels have been called into re-
QUESTION and every day the firemen
have been as busy as the proverbial
beaver making q beauty spot out of an
unsightly patch.
Engine House No. l is one of the
Oldest fire halls in the city. Visitors
coming into the city or driving over to
Dayton's Bluff must pass this hall and
heretofore in summer time the patch
has been an eye sore. Occasionally a
fire alarm has interrupted the men at
their work and they have dropped
rakes. shovels, picks and wheel bar
rows to seize instead rubber coats and
helmets. But these Interruptions have
only added ZeSt to the work and no
man has refused to do his share.
AS soon as the plot of ground has
been cleared and leveled an iron fence
will inclose it and the men will begin
the work of identifying the space A
number of flowers will be planted in
beds which the firemen themselves will
arrange. and which they viii take care
of.
Capt Mylo thinks that the work will
be as beneficial to the men as the re-
suit will be beneficial to the city All
firemen take pride In keeping their
quarters in neat condition. This new
outdoor work will not only afford them
variety but will give them necessary
out of door exercise. The work on
