WAR SENDS NEATARNIES Of EVROPE.

IN FIFTY YEARSBATTLE POSITION.

Highly indignant with the repeated
increase Of meat prices, Wilmington
butchers are today watching the trend
of the market. The statement was
made today that the hind quarter of
beef is selling for 20 cents pound
wholesale and that this price is the
highest ever paid in the history Of
Wilmington since the Civil War.
This has not tended to sweeten the
temper of reAiIers. Butchers are
making comment on the prices asked
for pork, which is So higher a hun
drsd than beef.
The fact that the prices OF nearly
all farm products were higher today
than on Saturday caused a glut of
vegetables in the street markets.
Corn was the only product that
showed a falling off in price 1t re-
tailed at II cents dozen today as
compared with 20 cents on Saturday.
Lima beans. unhulled, still brought

ranged from 75c to $125 a basket.
These last prices were not consider
ed high by the housewives.
Delaware tomatoes were selling to-
day for 10 cents quarter peck or
20 cents a basket, while those from
New Jersey were much cheaper. SELL

Wilmington consumers should get
ready to pay from 25 to so cents per
pair more for shoes; also more for
clothing According to plans now on
foot the increase will mean that YOU
will pay from S425 to $3.50 for shoes
now costing S4 and there is every rea-
son to believe that the increase will be
the latter figure.
Commenting on the tendency of the
shoe market, j. w. Loud, manager of

said Il expect to see shoes up from
25 to 80 cents on the retail price.
The advance should come at an early
day. Shoe manufacturers import
much leather from Russia and Ger
many, and the war has practically de-
stroyed the import trade" The adj
vance in clothing prices will affect
