WHOLESALE GROCERY QUOTES PRICES IS PER CENT HIGH
 ER-GOODS ARE SCARCE

Tn a letter received recently from one of the big wholesale grocery stores in Seattle by one of the local merchants, announcement was made that there will be a big advance in the price of groceries next season. Moreover, there is likely to be shortage in many lines, especially in canned goods and dried fruits,
 According to the letter, il is not so much a matter of selling the goods now as it is of getting them to sell The wholesale firm thinks that this shortage of the stock on the market will make the high prices that they quote sound very reasonable in the spring. The prices given by the firm are strictly in line with the aver age prices on the market.
 Local merchants say that there IS an advance of about fifteen per cent on the already high prices of last fall Flour and the commodities made from wheat have advanced a great deal, along with the increasing price of wheat on the market. Flour has advanced, according to the local merchants, fifteen per cent in the new rating given in the letter. Canned goods and dried fruit have advanced about fifteen per cent, according to the new schedule. This is due to the scarcity of the goods. Sugar is the only commodity that has fallen in price. It has not decreased, how ever, to a very great extent.
