Many New Arrivals on ".'
The Vegetable Market
Oyster plint is on the Omaha mar
ket now. It is a long, slim vegetable,
and about as beautiful as an oyster.
It makes soup that tastes just like
oyster soup. x
Blackberries are a fresh arrival.
These, coming along about three
months after the local crop, hail from
Washington. They are big fellows
and sell at only 10 cents a box.
Grapes are in their heyday The lo
cal grapes are fine, plentiful and
cheap. Malaga and California white
grapes are also abundant.
Watermelons are getting scarce,
- but the price on such as are left
hasn't risen.. Cantaloupes are also
still with us.
Green corn is still "to be had," but
. has passed its tenderest age and will
soon be in the sere and yellow leaf.
Tomatoes, too, are going the way
of all vegetables in the fall. They
are still of splendid quality, but the
demimshing supply is indicated by a
substantially increased price.
, There is still plenty of time to
make some nice crabapple jelly or
wild plum preserves. Both of these
fruits are plentiful and fine.
Peaches are -fairly plentiful, both
. from Colorado and the Elberta va
riety. Pears and the cultivated kinds
of plums are abundant
Cooking apples are not as plentiful
as they usually are at this season of
the year, but they have come in in
fair quantities. Eating apples are on
the market in goodly quantities.
Fine celery is on the market, all
the way from Michigan. Green peas
and string beans are as good as ever.
Little, red radishes and crisp lettuce
are very good now. 1
Vegetable mera is a newcomer on
the local markets.
Meat Prices Show
Sharp Advances
' Since Last Spring
Germany, France and England and
the other countries at war aren't the
only places where prices of meats
are goint up.
They are going up right here in
peaceful, Omaha. They have ad
vanced 15 to 35 per cent in the last
year in retail prices, which are gov
erned by wholesale prices. The
wholesalers say a scarcity of liv.
stock is responsible for the price in
flation. The advance is particularly notice
able in pork, which is very scarce. I
. 5u, Baiu me manager I
a big meat department, "pork chops
were selling in Omaha at 20 cents;
now they are 2254; pork shoulders
were 1454 cents and now they're 17;
spare ribs were 10 cents, now ii'i;
neck bones were 4 cents, now 6; hams
were 17, now 22'A; bacon was 22'A
now 26; salt pork was 15, now 18
cents.
Wieners were i2'A cents, now
they're 15; bologna was 10 cents, now
its's 12.
, 'Veal is very scarce and his ad
vanced about 2 cents a pound. Lard
has gone up from 15 cents to 18. Mut
ton, also, is higher. Lamb chopj
were selling at 25 cents a year ago
iNow they, are JO cents.
Five-Cent Bread is
With Us Yet a While
After discussing for several hours
the nickel-loaf-of-bread situation the
master makers of Omaha last night
adjourned without coming to a delv
nite agreement as to instituting the
dime loaf entirely and doing away
with the nickel loaf. It had been
expected they might decide to abolish
the nickel loaf entirely. Because
some of the members of the club
are absent from the city and because
other master bakers in the city are
not members of the club, action on
the matter was not praticable last
night.
When the lo-cent loaf of bread
comes to take the place of the nickel
loaf in Omaha the bakers estimate it
will weigh somewhere between twen
ty and twenty-three ounces.
