Butter and egG merchant have
been the greatest sufferers among the
dealers In food products. There have
been no egg and butter shipments Of
any siss siHce last Saturday. and the
freoh seg market 10 therefore almost
entirely depleted. Como OF the lsrgsl
arms have . large store In hand. bu
III IL feared tho demand will not b
net.
Potatoes and other vegetables hav'
/ risen from - to 30 per cent. IN price
a. q result Of the storm. The raise II
prices has besn due to inability o.
the msrchants TO make many deliv'
cries and the increase In cost OF thu
deliveries they have been able Il
make.
The poultry and game market hai
not been much affected because o
the large amount the merchants hav'
lkept on hand to meet just such a
emergency a. the present.
