Wholesalers are holding back

This was one of the reasons C. w
Hawkes., buying manager of the Ran
dolph Market Co., gave for the re-
markable increase in the cost of food
stuffs.
Increases are coming so fast that
we cannot keep up with Them" said
Hawkes.. ''The wholesalers seem to
advance all old prices in sympathy to
the extreme quotations Of -four"
eff the public knew the actual con-
dition of food in this country a panic
would result" said a statement is
sued by officials of the Steele-We-
deles Co. 'The people will have to
pay high prices until another crop
has been received; prices may come
down then"
U. S. Dist Atty CIyne today con-
tinUed his examination of big whole
sale grocers in compliance with the
charge Of retailers that food prices
are being unnecessarily raised.
G. r. Campbell, general manager
of the Consumers Co., said today
that the real cause for the present
coal shortage, was the shortage of
railoard cars. He said miners were
compelled to work about half time
because the railroads could not fur
nish cars to get the coal away from
the mines.
Coal averages 25 cents a ton high
er than last year and managers of
big coal companies say they could
get a much higher price if they chose
to take advantage of the shortage.
