Wholesalers and retailers IN
the city were paying far more
attention to the boost in
prices than they were to the
advent of the sales tax. The
sales tax probably will be
passed on to the purchasers,
along with the increased
prices.
The bean market increased heav-
lily, with Fred H. Bruhn, of the j. c.
Perry Company, wholesale grocers,
announcing California lima beans
had jumped from SIS a hundred
pounds to S6.75.
Canned Milk Up
Bruhn also said an increase of Is
per cent is in effect on peanut but
ter, and canned milk registered a
rise of 10 per cent. Cereals also were
on the increase list, averaging Is to
30 per cent.
One chain store organization said
that the price of bottled milk was
to increase on retail selling Off
Gals of the leading milk companies
said there had been no price boost
in milk in the last twenty-four
hours.
Advance of 40 cents barrel on
flour was quoted by another retail
grocery firm. Other chain stores
said they had not received their
quotations, but there was but slight
change in general food prices.
Butter and egg prices are on the
upgrade, A. M. FeiSt of the Wadlev
Company, wholesalers, said. He
announced that butter has risen
cents pound in the last week
and eggs 3 cents dozen.
See Speculative Market
Schlosser Bros, butter and egg
dealers, predicted a highly specula-
tive market later. Roy Davidson.
OF M. OConnor Company, whole
sale grocers, said price boosts were
not due entirely to imitation, but
that farmers are pushing their sur
plus stock on the market.
Majority of the wholesale dealers
said they had not received COM
plants on price boosts, but dealers
were noting restored confidence
and are glad to see the change, for
most products were selling far be-
low cost"
Restaurant operators said they
felt the price boost in early buying
today and predicted a rise in food
costs at their counters within a few
days. One proprietor said res
taurants that have been selling
lunches and dinners at a moderate
plate rate will be forced to higher
price levels.

The B. F. Goodrich Company to-
day notified Indianapolis dealers
that the price of tires has been in
creased approximately 5 per cent.
Officials of the company said the
boost will be nation wide.

AcquittaI of Red Leader by

LEIPZIG, Germany, Dec. %
UN.SO.-Marinus Van der Lubbe,
young Dutch brick.nason, was SEN
fenced to death, and DR.. Ernst
Torgler, Communist leader, was
acquitted today as the famous
Reichstag fire trial ended.
The three other defendants
George Dimitroff, Blagor Popoff
and Wassel Taneff, Bulgarian
Communists-also were acquitted.
The acquitted defendants were
not released, but will be kept in
custody for a few days "for their
own safety" In this connection
it was recalled there have been
frequent whispered threats against
the three Bulgarians, which ap-
parently made the court fear for
their safety.
TOrgIer Action Surprise
A third party" international
News Service learned, probably
meaning the Dutch government or
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, was
expected to intervene in the case
of Van der Lubbe, asking mercy.
His attorn-y y was not expected to
appeal.
The prosecutor had asked death
for Van der Lubbe and acquittal
for the three Bulgarians, just as
the five supreme court judges
ruled.
He had asked death for Torgler
as well as the young Dutchman,
however, and the Communist lead
er's acquittal provided the sensa-
ton of the verdict.
1t marked a great victory for
DR.. AIfonS Sack, Nazi lawyer,
who, convinced of Torgler's inno-
cence, undertook to defend him
despite the fact that every Nazi
leader in the country, both in
the government and out, had de-
clared that Communists staged
the Reichstag fire as signal
for a nationwide revolt last Feb
