DEALERS EXPECT
BREAK IN SUGAR
Much Speculation as to How
Long the Market Will
Be Up.

reported in the wholesale price of
sugar, the retail price in Boise appears
to be weakening and a majority of the
retailers were today selling cane sugar
at $7.75 per hundred with beet sugar
rs cents below that mark. There is
considerable speculation as to how
long the sugar market Will continue
up A number of dealers feel that the
advance will not hold long and are not
laying in any sugar at the higher
prices, believing they have a sufficient
amount on hand to run them until the
break comes. Moore's early grapes
from Emmett are on the market and
are selling well. Several cars of sheep
and hogs were sold on the market this
morning and brought good prices. The
poultry market was well represented
today. Egg receipts are good, ranch
butter slow. All fruits and vegetables
are plentiful. Following are the pre-
vailing prices:
