PRICES SOARING (CONTINUE* FROM PAGE ONE) ed from seventy-five cents or a dollar a bushel. The wholesale price on all canned goods is said to have gone up from ten to forty per cent; all imported fish have soared; smoked meats have advanced; olive oils and all high class imported good's are said to have advanced even more markedly. Sugar, beans and coffee are the chief local products that have been affected- The price of stock, however, has raised and pork is said to be the highest of the year. None of the meat dealers here have raised the price of meat thus far, but ff the stock prices Increase, the retail meat price will be sure to go up. One restaurant man stated today noon, that if prices ad vanced much more, it would be necessary to raise the price of meals from the present price of a quarter. These advances will increase, dealers say, until trade conditions are resumed with foreign countries. The advance on canned goods is not caused entirely by the European war. The season has been very hot and there are a large number of canning factories whic« will not open at all, owing to the fact that there is only a small quantity of stuff to can. This, of course, tends to bring the prices up. While these advances hit the American public where it hurts, there are other conditions which will be brought about by the war which will assist business, it. is said. For instance, Belgian glass factories will be unable to open this fall and this should have an effect on glass in this country, tending to open, perhaps, the hand plants here. Grain Goes Up. The daily market reports of today show’ the following boost in the grain market: Corn $1.15, advance of 15 cents, Clover Seed $8.75, advance of 75 cents; Wheat 86 advance of 2 cents; Oats 35 cents, advance 3 cents.
