HIGHER EVERY DAY
Housewives Wonder if Bot
tom Ever Will Fall Out
OF Market
ASK ANY OLD
PRICE FOR EGGS
The II. @. l.. is raising Cain.
The markets all a buzz,

The price OF food Is higher, dears
Than ii most ever was.
A trip through King street this
morning proved the truth OF the above
jingle Eiverythings gone up and
when last heard from. the food prizes
aeroplane hadn't as yet struck the alti-
tude limit Market men, many OF
them, gave their prices sullenly and
grufly. while others went into lengthy
explanations as TO why they had to
charge such prices
Some OF the prices in various foods,
especially eggs, varied considerably,
the producers In one square asking In
some cases. from five to eight cents
difference in their prices from the
producers in the other square. For
instance, eggs, strictly fresh, ranged
from 81 cents to 40 cents. When the
representative OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL asked producer how he
could sell his eggs. each Of which he
guaranteed as being strictly fresh, ac-
cording to a sign over them. for 81
cents, while others we're charging as
high as 40 cents, he smiled and said
he hardly knew as he could sell his
eggs at 81 cents and then clear Ave
cents a dozen on them. AT that rate.
then, some OF the marketmen are
clearing as high as 10 cents dozen
on eggs.
That the High Cost OF Living is
due to a "hold-up' somewhere. is the
general opinion OF housewives and
others interviewed this morning. Two
OF the leading producers I'm the mar
ket said they went TO Philadelphia ves-
terday to buy cabbage and out OF
thirty-hve wholesale places visited.
there was only one merchant there
VINO had any cabbage and he had only
hve barrels, which he sold for 50 n
BARREL The same man said potatoes
also are being cornered. One market
man said that during the fair last
september he bought potatoes from a
local farmer for S1.35 a bushel. Some
time ago the same man offered 10 buv
one hundred more bushels for $50
bushel, but the farmer refused In
sell at the price.
Aside from potatoes, eggs. chickens
and cabbage, the producers blame the
nigh prices OF things on Florida and
Iexas being frozen up. Chickens this
morning were scarce, and those I'm
the market brought from 2s 10 80
cents a pound. Oysters and FISH re-
NAMED about. the same in price. Other
prices quoted this morning were
Onions. 20 to % cents a quart; pota-
toes, 70 cents a quarter peck: eggs
81 to 45 cents a dozen; celery cents
bunch; caulihower, 10 to 20 cents d
head; cabbage, ~ cents a pound let
tuce. 10 cents head.

this morning that in April the prices
would come down great deal. as he

that all manner OF crimes have been
committed by the Mexicans in the
United States and declare that Amer
leans are afraid to fight.
The people as a class are very ig-
norant and do the bidding OF the Of

spect other nationalities. but the
Americans are called "grineoes" They
nave more respect for a Chluaman

out to fight with muzzles on,' said
Major Reed, referring to the insults they
were compelled 10 take from the Next
cans, and yet were forced to keep Quiet.
Major Reed referred TO the vast
amount Of capital tied up in Mexico in

pie from this and other countries, which
IS slowly going TO ruin, and apparently
this country is doing very little Co bet

Der of women musicians. Lunch was
