here from Minneapolis, the hfistmas
trading opened here this year earlier
than it usually opens in the Minnesota
city. and it indicates that the efforts
on the part of the newspapers to in
duce early shopping have been well
taken by the public
cit looks as though the buying will
continue we'll up until Christmas, de-
spite the fact that much of the shop
ping has been done early. We are
well satisfied with the trade this year
and other merchants are ostensibly
well pleased ALSO
All the merchants, with the possible
exception of the grocers and butch
ers, receive the direct benefit of the
trade from the surrounding villages
and from the state at large, the jew

The Christmas Dinner.
Now that the Yuletide is but a few

Thanksgiving and will sell for about

probably be all that will be demanded
at this high figure.
Chickens are plentiful and are sell
ing around ] s cents a pound. Geese
command a price around II cents and
supply will bring about 20 cents. If
prices continue to soar upward beef
will be more of luxury than poultry.
The butcher is compelled to pay more
for beef than he did a month ago, and
the market has a tendency to go still
higher. There is a heavy demand for
rabbits and the merchants are finding
it difficult to supply the orders. at
prices ranging from Is to 20 cents a
rabbit. Country sausage has also be-
gun to come in. There are not many
fresh eggs although they are to be had
at prices between 35 cents and 40 cents
Country butter is almost a rarity
Creamery is retailing around SO to AZ
cents.
The market is filed with all the deli
cacies of the season which as a. rule
are more reasonable in price than many
of the necessaries. High prices prevail
in practically every line of trade. and
the food products are only one element
to be effected. One of the latest adj
vances is announced in wire products
the price of wire nails having advanced
81 a ton during the past week This
represents an advance of IS ton ovel
the low level of last May, but leaves
the price still 81 a ton below the higf
level of 1908.
