TOO MUCH ALARM

Public Laying in Such Quanti-

BROKERS ISSUE A WARNING
Plenty on Hand Until Next
Crop if Indiscriminate
Buying Is Stopped.

Fear of food shortage and mad
rush to lay in supplies is given as the
real cause for the alarming advance
in prices of foodstuffs all over the
country, according TO telegram re-
ceived last night by ]. p. Hanley.
Tulsa correspondent for a Chicago
board of trade firm. 1t is claimed
there is not an actual shortage OF
supplies.
Prices in Tulsa are gradually going
up and each day brings n slight ad-
vance in commodities considered alb
solutely essential to the average table
such as potatoes, butter eggs. beans
rice and other staple foodstuffs.
Local dealers yesterday quoted po-
tatoes at 81 peck, butter 55 cents a
pound and eggs 40 cents dozen
Beans were quoted at 20 cents u
pound and rice at 10 cents with indi-
cations of prices going higher. Other
commodities are correspondingly
high. Prices on everything are said
to be the highest ever known.
Times Have Changed.

in total loss and threatens a graver
situation than any actual shortage in
foodstuffs.
That there are ample supplies OF
