FOOD PRICES GO LOWER
Potatoes, Cabbage, Apples, Butter and
 Eggs Included in List.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Potatoes, cab bage and apples continue slipping in prices and butter and eggs show signs of weakening in sympathy with de- clines in other foodstuffs. Potatoes sold yesterday at $1.70 and S1.SO per hundred weight Growers in Wiscon- sin and Michigan say they are getting about a cent pound for their potatoes. Today's prices compared with the peak of $8 a hundred pounds less than a year ago.
 Cabbages are selling at $15 ton as compared with $75 ton year ago. Onions are selling at one-third the price they brought year ago.
 Apples have been holding firm for some time, but they have at last hit the skids. Thirteen million more car loads of apples were shipped this year than last and this probably explains why they are selling 40 per cent cheap CT than they were year ago.
 Butter, in recent weeks, mas dropped from GA to 48 cents, wholesale. It is retailing for an average of 55 cents.
 Eggs hold firm. Wholesalers get them for 72 to "A cents a dozen and they are retailed at 90 cents to dollar. Sugar registered still further declines. It is said Cuban sugar is being offered on the eastern markets at 7-S cents a pound. Flour and all other ingredients are much cheaper.
