The market pages of last Fri
days Minneapolis Journal, con-
tanning three sheets of advertise
ments of the various markets,
show that it costs from one-third
to one-half as much to provide for
the table there as 1t does in Ia
coma.
Bread Five Cents q Pound
The Washington apples, for In
stance, are quoted as follows:
Fancy Jonathans, box .....$2.14
Fancy Baldwins, box 49,. .$2.25
Fancy Winesaps, box .$2.14
Fancy Roman Beauty. box. 1910
Fancy Delicious, box .....$2.35
The word fancy" is a standard
for the best grade of apples. These
same varieties are ON sale in
downtown Tacoma stores at $3.50
to SO a box.
Persons investigating the high
cost of living could get lots of in
teresting pointers from the mar
ket pages of the Minneapolis
Journal.
Bread, for instance, is adver-
tised at cents for one-pound
loaves.
Western baking potatoes are
offered at $3.50 a bushel. Ordi-
nary spuds are % cents a peck.
Butter Al to A Cents
Best grades of butter range
from Al to A cents pound. Any
Tacoma housewife will tell you in
a minute that she could save
money by sending to Minnesota
for her butter.
And meats! The market quo.
tations for retail meat prices in
Minneapolis would indicate that
western packers who are spread
ing gloomy predictions OF a meat
famine haven't consulted the mid.
dle-west market.
Here are some figures in the
Minneapolis market advertise.
ments, showing the entire range
of prices:
Boiling beef, 8 to 10 cents: DO,
roast, 9 to IL cents; sirloin steak
12h to Is cents; lamb, IA to 1s
cents; porterhouse steak, 12h
cents; veal, 12H to Is cents;
club steak, 12h cents; yea
stew, 10 to IL cents; veal chops
10 cents; rib beef, 10 to Is cents;
pork roast, 20 to 25 cents; pork
chops, 26 cents.
Why? Why?
Poultry seems to be plentiful
too. Hens are quoted at is Ia
23 cents, dressed; ducks, 23 to
rs cents; geese, Is to 23 cents
turkeys, 80 TO 81 cents.
Turkeys were not higher than
35 cents in Minneapolis before
Thanksgiving. The prices quoted
here were for the Saturday fol
lowing Thanksgiving.
Food price investigators are
having a hard time to figure why
Washington apples should be
cheaper in Minnesota than they
are In Washington. And also
why all other foods should be SO
much cheaper in one part of the
country than another, considering
that the food output is practically
normal in both places.
Maybe the dealers can give some
explanation.
They haven't offered any yet.
