up 26 cent3 a case to retailers yester
day. Some special Eastern brands ad
• uncod 60 cents a case.
An advance of 10 per cent on the
original price of all canned fruits «ud
\ egetables, both wholesale and retail,
was announced.
Onion prices, wholesale, were from
one-fourth to one-half cent a pound
higher yesterday than la3t Monday.
Cabbage went up u hulf cent. The
best cabbage now is $1.76 a crate
wholesale.
Grape prices are from 50 to 70 Hs
higher to dealers than a week ago.
The wholesale price of sugar id
vanced 45 cents a barrel. Yesterday’s
price to retailers was $8.30 a hundred
pounds, less a discount for cash.
Eggs jumped 4 cents a dozen on the
wholesale market. The best local
lunch stock, offered at 4C cents >ast
Monday, yc3terday sold at 60 cents a
aozen.
Cranberries Soar Slightly.
Cranberries brought from 60 cents
to $1 more yesterday than one week
ago.
Beans were quoted one-half cent
higher yesterday than one week ago.
All salad oils were available to re
tailers ye3terday only at a 10-cents li
gation increase.
Apple prices hit the highest levels,
both wholesale and retail. Dealers ex
pect an advance in quotations early
bis week.
And. as poor consolation to the be
moaning consumer who feels each day
hat the demon high-cost-of-living Is
retting more and more of a strangle
lold on his pocketbook, comes the au
hentlc Information that:
Tomorrow morning the wholesale
■rice of all cereals, such as oats,wheat,
'arley. spilt peas and such, will ad
ance 60 cents a barrel.
At the same time baking chocolate
vill be two cents a pound higher to
etailers.
And 3tartllng further increases in
11 groceries, perishables, and other
lecesslties would not be surprising in
.he least, said dealers lastnight.
Bread Comes Smaller.
Averaging all these price advances
and taking Into consideration that the
high cost of flour, while not actua'ly
advancing the retail price of bread,
is giving the consumer smaller loaves
and that the packages on many stand
ard-priced commodities are growing
smaller, food experts arrived at their
estimate that the cost of living la
Seattle lias Increased 12 V6 per cent la
the last six days.
Causes given for these price ad
vances were numerous. Indirectly,
however, the old War Qod Mars got
the most of the blame.
The increase in price of Eastern
Washington and Pacific Coast pro- I
ducts can be laid to the war prosperity '
of the East, said some dealers. Un- |
derproducetion because of the direc- !
tion of activities along manufacturing
lines, together with foreign shipments
for the realization of big profits, is
causing the Eastern markets to draw
from the West, thereby cutting off the
normal supply for the home market,,
It was said.
In the ca30 of wheat this was said
to be particularly evident. What Is
more inducive of price advances is the
tendency of farmers to hold wheat for!
high future quotations, dealers assert
ed.
Flour Advance Limited.
Seattle Hour mulers believe that
there is a limit to the possible advance
of wheat, and consequently Hour, and
while they would not be astonished to
3ee other small advances soon, a sen
sational Jump to abuormal levels Is
not expected, they asserted.
Western Avenue commission dealers
last night predicted an advance in
! fruit prices this week. Banana re
| ceipts are small because the largo
3hippers And greater profit In con
verting their vessels to the war trade
rather than operate them between the
South American producing regions and
| the United States. The heavy dema.td
in the East for California and Eastern
1 Washington fruit is expected to have
its impression on the Seattle market
; soon.
Consolation was felt in the fact that
meat or poultry pr co> did rot ad"ance
last week. Butter and cheese also re
mained steady. Milk went up In
price with the change to the winter
schedule oi 1' cents a quart on Octo
J her 1st.
And the strangest thing of all is
tha' lemons actually have doeicusei
! n price.
But with all the sour things hap
v . ing at present, who wan < to buy
lumens?
