Compared With Omaha I'riccs.
The above list of prices was submitted
to several Omaha jobbers yesterday morn-
ng who raado a careful examination into the
prices charged the stnto by Raymond Bros.
As the quality of the goods furnished Is un
known 11 Is very dinicult to glvo an exact
statement of what the prlcos ought to be , but
nssun.inz that the various articles wore all of
good grade tha prices are considerably above
tie market pi ice.
Take for example rico at OVc a good
article can bo had for 5l c
and possibly for less money. Iloaitny
can be bought at any wholesale grocery in
Omaha at S3 50 per bbl of 200 Ibs. For beans ,
4c per Ib Is not too much for a good article.
As there are so many different gi ados of
ted and coffee nothing can bo snld as to the
pilces charged In the ubovo list only this , 20
@ 25o will buy a grudo of tea in Omaha
equal to what the people In the western part
of the state arc in the habit of
using. Bacon is charged nt < % ° pcrlo. The
list price here Is ( ic.
Without knowing the quality nothing can
bo said regarding the charges for flour and
meal. The regular price for rolled oats is
only fli.OO per bbl. instead of $0.50.
Dvvight's ' soda is charged for at the list pnco
but other manufactures of soda could have
boon supplied at S3.00 which would have
auswcred the purpose just as well.
Alter reviewing the prices the jobbers
generally expressed themselves of the
opinion that under the circumstances they
wcro not exorbitant , as the money had not
jet been appropriated , nnd nollrm could af
ford to tnko chances without some remunera
tion. One firm declared that it would not
furnish the goods under the conditions at all
All agreed , however , that if the
legislature had appropriated the inonoy
and the purchasing committee could say to
the jobbers "wo nio prepared to pay casu or
wo can pay cash in thirty or sixty days" they
could buy the goods way below the prices
charged In the nbovo bill and oven below the
list price. Oio : house bald that as a matter o :
charity , and to make the inonov of the s.tnto
do ns much peed as possible , they would bo
In favor of selling the gotxls at Just enough
nbovo cost to pay the actual expenses of ban
dllng them.

Sporting men are discussing the outcome of
the battle with more than the usual amount
of interest. Several largo wagers have al
ready been made at odds of 8100 to $80 on
Dlxon. The McCarthy supporters won't have
to go about hunting for Dots whan the Disun
ites get to town , as they have lots of inonoy
that they are only too anxious to put up.
Over in Jersey City McCarthy has a thou
sand and ono friends who will back him to n
man , and should ho meet with defeat the
whole town -will go in mourning. The splen
did showing that the little Jersey champion
made against big odds when lie last met the
' chocolate" bov is still fresh la the minds of
the followers of pugilism.
With both in good condition it should prove
"
to bo ono of the best , , "nnd most ovonly-con-
tested affairs ever witnessed. Both men are
determined , and no gamer little fellows ever
stepped into the a cna to no battlo. The
tickets , which are selling at $10 a piece , are
going very well. If'is expected that fully
4.000 people will wltnpsa the contest. 'J'ho
club's seating capacity is said to bo 0,000.
