WITH SHOPPING CONTINGENT
What Has Been Doing on Omaha
Market This Week.
WARM WEATHER AIDS TRADING
Green vegetables Feel stimulus and
Buyers Are More Numerous Be-
cause of Desire for
Light Food Products.

Shoppers who were on the market fire.
auently this week found that prices had
changed little from the points at which
they we're located during the previous SIX
days Eggs we're not advanced. though
the storage product was taken up in
large quantities by Spectators. The cCn-
dition in the butter market was unsatis-
factory, though the general condition was
little changed from the previous week.
Potato receipts fell far short Of the
expectations, and there was q change for
the higher in some OF the prices on the
retail market. Chickens met with a
slight increase, and the movement Of
cheese, vegetables and fresh fruits was
more satisfactory than in the preceding
week. with low prices and favorable
weather contributing to stimulate buying.
Fresh Vegetables Come In.
Lower values in some cases were
quoted on fresh vegetables and fruits
The supply on the local market was
larger than in previous weeks, and this
had a tendency to cut down the prices.
Shoppers took hold OF the situation with
ayldity and brought freely.
The weather. which. on few DAYS was
the warmest Of the year. was favorable
to a broad berry trade. Strawberries were
sold in the largest amounts OF the sea-
son, and most Of the women shoppers
bought freely all during the week.
Tomatoes, of finer grade than of the
previous week. went out Of the market
in large quantities. The hot weather
stimulated the trade in this vegetable
line, and dealers all reported large
business.
Women Many on Market.
The hot weather also increased the
number Of shoppers on the market.
Women were led to leave their homes for
the downtown district, and once being
there, they naturally strolled around To
the various stores and shops. Seeing
things they liked they bought, so the
general trade of the week, especially in
the green vegetables, was increased
greatly.
