mind to buy an $85 suit and at the
same time trying to add up her col
umns before the floor walker turned out
the lights. "It is easier to sell in this
department, where every thing costs so
much. The women in the hats and
waists don't have "a chance to make the
grand totals that we in the suits do"
Mrs. Joseph Truesdal le was lady floor
walker, and from O'Clock in the morn
ing until $3.50 was on the job. seeing

WASHINGTON, March g. Immediate

Unless business men make sure

tolerance has been reached and for

New York, March 5.-Whatever
the major influences In the foreign
exchange market, the fact was made
evident today that the recovery OF
sterling rates was having a bene-
fetal effect throughout the entire
market. The rise of 9 SAC to the

to further strong advances in French,

quotation advanced fully 23 centimes.
In the absence of definite news OF

weigh the early rumors with con-
scrvativc scales and the impression
grew stronger as the day advanced
that really large quantities of the

Paris of moderate amounts from
time to time, it was felt, would have
a Worthwhile sentimental effect and
such movements might begin at an
early date. The receipt Of $3,OOO,0OO

Prospect Of Further Decrease
In Near Future-But-

Steady.

The price OF cggs> the awaiting
tendencies of which have been the
despair OF housewives all winter, is
down now and due for an additional
drop, according to h. B. Murphy, in
charge OF the butter and egg depart
rcnt at Hayden Bros. grocery de-
partment
Today's quotations are 50 cents a
dozep, and Mr.. Murphy stated that
there may be a further drop OF 10
cents a week from today. The cold
spell OF the last two days will have
no effect on the supply. he believes,
as the season for increased laying is
far advanced. Increase in the sup
ply has been responsible for the
lower price.
Butter prices remained steady dur
ing the past week aud range from S.
cents to 20 cents per pound, depend
ing on the grade.
Mutton Plentiful.
With the approach of Easter the
market is well supplied with mutton
and lamb, with possibility of rise
in price for the latter. At present
prices are steady, as are those OF
beef and pork.
Poultry is scarce, meat dealers
say, but prices have not been raised
during the~past week, and the old
quotations of 40 cents for hens and
~SS cents for young roosters still
hold. Ducks, geese and turkeys are
practically off the market for the
season. according to reports.
In spite Of what seems to be a
plentiful supply. fruit continues to
increase in price. oranges being 10
cents dozen higher today than
they were week ago, The best
grades may be had at about 70 cents.
Grapefruit also has increased about
two0cents. Apples and lemons re-
NAMED fairly steady during the
week. as did all varieties of dried
fruit and nuts. Cooking apples are
very scarce now. grocers report.
Vegetables Steady.
Vegetables are selling today about
as they we're week ago, except-that
the supply Of head lettuce has
diminished, with a resulting increase
in the price from ~ to 10 cents per
bunch. Cabbage is still plentiful.
and sells at the price that has, re-
mained steady for several weeks.
Potatoes showed no change during
the week.
Flour prices also We're mistaken.
after the drop OF two weeks ago, and
the quotation of $500 for S-pound
sack,still holds. The 24-pound- sacks
sell at $l.65 at most groceries.
