PRICE OF PORK GOES UP
Advance of 0ne-HaIf a Cent
a Pound Is Made by
Dealers,

Beginning today housewives will be
forced to pay 4 cent per pound more for
pork than hitherto. An advance of this
amount was made yesterday I'm the
wholesale price. Pork viii bring cents
per pound wholesale from now on instead
of SD cents Meat men do not attempt
to explain the advance.
The shortage of veal is still enc Of
the features of the local meat market.
Very few shipments of veal are being re-
ceiVed from other states, and practically
none is being offered by Utah farmers
The price of this meat is so stiff at pres
ent that marked advance Is looked foF
at most any time.
For three weeks the best quality Of
grape fruit has been lacking locally. Sew
eral large shipments OF t1rSt grade were
received yesterday. The price of this ar
ticle in retail markets is from 10 cents
to Is cents each Several shipments of
California vegetables were received in
Salt Lake yesterday, contrary to expeC-
tations. California vegetables are there
fore plentiful
Local fish margets are dull On &C
count of storms along the coast, and in-
land as well, fish shipments have been
small and somewhat delayed. It has
been impossible for fishermen to go out
into the open sea to any extent on &C
count Of the bad weather. The fish are
Lot running well as might be expected
at this season Of the year. Shrimps are
plentiful at 20 cents the quart. Crabs
are still in market. They are bringing
30 cents each Catfish, sea bass and the
more common varieties of fish, such as
salmon, are plentiful now The follow
ing are the prices quoted in retail mar
