THE BEE; OMAHA SATUKUAY, 1KBKUAKY 21, 1920.
FEW DECLINES
IN FOOD PRICES
A RE REPORTED
Butter, Eggs and Poultry
x Advance While Vegetables
And' Dried Fruits.
Are Cheaper.
General advances of from 4 to
lents during; the last week in Oma
ha retail quotations on buttter and
eggs sijV.elched hopes of consumers
for continued purchase of those com
modities at comparatively low prices.
Fresh eggs have jumped from the
50-ceht bottom price of last week
up to 55 cents and -there has been
an average increase of 4 cents a
pound lor all classes of butter, which
now retails at from 55 to 68 cents.
Poultry is still high, with dressed
hens retailing at 44 cents at the bi
downtown stores, roosters at 35
cents and ducks at .57 cents.. Dressed
turkey, being handled only in small
quantities by retailers, is selling at
55 cents a pound. '
Cabbage Is Cheaper.
The old reliable cheap vegetable,
cabbage, has slipped from its perch
' oi 10 cents a poundvajtid is now re
tailing;' at 71-2 cents) Head lettuce
is still cheap at 71-2 cents a heal
and there has been no change in
price for potatoes, which are sili
' retailing at 85 cents a peck.
Oranges during the last week
have gone up $1 a crate, boosting the
tetail price 5 to 712 cents a dozer.
"The real chance for saving in
buying fruits is in the line of dried,
t'fuits," declares A1 King, manager
t of the grocery department for Hay
den BfosS. "Consumers who .want
to cut their food bills ought to use
more dried peaches, prunes, apricots,
pears, raisins and currents."
Dried Fruit Lower.
Dried raisins, peaches and pears
are quoted at 25 cents1 a pounds
prunes at from 20 cents to 25 cents,
currants at 30 cents and apricots-!
at 38 cents.
Figs, of the, layer", table variety,
have shot down from 45 cents
to 30 cents .apd 25 ..cents a pound
during the last week. 1
Retailers report little prospect of
an immediate drop 'in flour prices,
most of them predicting -' flour
reached its bottom price during the
recent market flurry and w not apt
to go so low again soon. It is being
otfeered in 48-pound sacks at $3,20
and in 24-pound sacks at $1.65. ,
Free List Suspended
For Opening Night of
Omaha Auto Show
'"Free list suspended." '
1 his will be the - sign at the en-,
trance to the Auditorium on the
opening night, March 1, of Omaha's
15th annual Automobile show.
Show authorities have abandoned
the policy of issuing complimenta
ries for the opening night, in view
of the unprecedented interest al
ready shown in the exposition, and
the fact that in the past few years
" the first night crowds, owing to
complimentaries, havegreatly over
crowded the Auditprium.
"We expect our' first -night to be
better than vany other during the
. week," said Manager Powell. "Mo
torists and prospective buyers in
general have told dealers that they
were going to 'be there then to see
th: cars when they're spic and span.
( "It will be a typicar 'first night'
" occasion in- every respect."
