ANNUAL BANQUET
TO Be A BIG ONE
Commercial Clubs Capacity May be
Stretched 10 Accommodate Those
Who Accept Bids.

Inc annual banquet OF the CONNER
ciel club has become a very popular
social function in the eyes of the
members. for already over one hum
drcd acceptanccs have been received
by Secretary Caine to the big affair.
When the mail came in this morning
the face of the guiding star of the
club began to wear a worried look.
Great Guns!' And then he pushed
his fingers through his hair thought
fully. "One hundred on the sixth. That
breaks all records, That leaves three
more days. and at that rate It's going
to make us hump some" And the
secretary folded UP the last communi-
cation With a very grave look upon
his face.
The Tact OF the matter Is that tho
present accommodations of the Com
mercial club arc somewhat limited
and 1t has grown to such great pop
ularity of late that all functions have
outgrown the present quarters. The re-
grets to the annual banquet brings a
smile to the Caine face in the great
fear that the "big feed" may be OF
such proportions that II cannot be
held In the club rooms.
The capacity of the present accom-
modations at the club is just about
300. although this may be stretched
somewhat. Should ii go much beyond
that figure there must be a shift in
the scene OF operations There is u
keen interest in the annual banquet
and the secretary Is feeling about
tentatively in case there is a necessity
OF seeking new banquet hall.

Up Go Prices In Local Markets
With the Railroad Blockade

The local markets are rapidly becom-
Ing bare, as there are no moro soiith'
crn California supplies over the Salt
Lake Route, and such shipments as
have been made via Sacramento are yet
TO arrive, being delayed by the storms
and cold So the marketmcn arc wait
Ing for something To turn up. AT the
same time there is little or nothing to
be secured from the northwest today.
Large shipments of flsh made via the
Northern Pacific from Seattle to this
city. via Butte. are reported held up
by the cold west of Butte, so there Is
little fish to be had until the delayed
shipments manage TO get through.
Dates have gone up cents. 80 have
fresh tomatoes. Dressed beef, whole
sale, has advanced half a cent; dressed
hens have jumped from 10 to IL cents;
cheese Is UP 2 cents-wholesale.
The butter situation continues very
much strained. Ono of the largest
markets on the Row has discontinued
entirely the handling of Salt Lake
creamery butter. and Is buying cxclu-
Siyely OF Ogden. where the creamery Is
turning out pound packages that weigh
Is ounces. as against 1ile and 151s
ounces for pound" packages of Salt
Lake manufacture. II the Salt Lake
butter was only put out for the full
tncre WUulu not fO nlu'n
complaint. But when As cents Is charged
for butter that actually weighs from
an ounce to an ounce and a half less
than the genuine pound weight, II is
held to be the correct thing to Wig
orously protest One Market Row deal
er says his butter sales have been re-
duced 90 per cent since As cents was
charged for the genuine article.
Richards street dealer tried Wednesday
afternoon to chage 80 cents pc pound
for oleomargarine; but the storm that
this raised was not calculated to en-
courage any more such attempts. Deal
erS agree that a very good profit can
be had at prices ranging from 20 to 80
cents per pound for olcomargarinc, and
il is an outrage to try and make the
public pay moro.
Meats are going up. The advance has
already been made In the wholesale
market. and advances In the retail to
follow little later. The reasons given
are the high cost OF hay and grain. and
the loweing of the duty on hides s2 per
hide. The grower thus receiving So less
per hide than formerly, he of course
win Increase the price of his cattle on
the hoof The prices obtaining in to-
days markets are as follows.
