Poultry is scarce, meat dealnrs
fay, but prices have not been raised
durhig thepast week, and he old
quotations of 40 cents for hens and
,38 cents for young roosters still
hold. Ducks, geese and turkeys are
practically off tht market for the

In spite of what seems to be a
plentiful supply, fruit continues to
increase in price, oranges being 10
' dents a dozen higher today than
they' were 'a week ago. The best
grades may be had at about 70 cents.
Graptfruit also has increased about
two"cents. Apple's and lemons re
mained fairly steady during the
week, as did all varieties of driad
, ' fruit and. nuts.. Cooking apples arc
very scarce now. grocers report.

" Vegetables are selling today about
as they were a week ago, except-that
the ,,'supnly of head lettuce -has
diminished, wfth a resulting increase
- in the price from Tj to 10 cents per
hunch. Cabbage is still plentiful,
and sells at the price that has. re-
Vtnained steady for , several weeks.
Potatoes showed no change during
: the week. - . '
Flour prices also were unshaken,
after the drop of two weeks ago, and
the quotation of $3.20 for a 48-pound
sack still holds. The 24-pountLsacks
sell at $1.65 at most groceries. S j

Some of the week's developments the
eharb' recovery of sterling exchange and
tlia return of tbs raj I roads to private
operation among thcnC have Influenced
business sentiment favorably, and th
multiplying evidences of commodity,
price reaction mark a nora wholesotne
cendiilon. That prices in general axe
under a greater measure nf restraint, a
' comprehensive ist of wholesale quotations
has clearly - demonstrated; and actual
yielding has appeared in some quarters,
whore buoyancy had long been the outstanding-
feature. Such tendencies as
these, if disappointing to some interests,
are, only what might have been expected
to, follow the great rise of price that
occurred during the war era and after
ward, and not a few buyers, quick to sense
tha change lit somemaTkets and believing
that the price -readjustment wiU carry
further, are confining their commitments
within the closest possible limit.

Cbleag TribuiM-Omaha Be ttutd Wire,
New York, March 5.-Whateyer
the major influences fn the foreign
exchange market the fact was made
evident today that the recovery of
sterling rates -was having a bene
ficial effect throughout the entire
market The rise of 9 3-4c to the
pound for demand bills on London
made the full imprpvement 19 cents
since -the upward, swing began on
Thursday mbriwiuf and in addition
to further streng advances in French,
Belgian and ItalraifT)iioUtioiis Oierc
was an important forwarir swing
of neutral countries'rates. Exchange
on Scandinavian countries was par
ticularly pronounced ahd the Swiss
quotation advanced fully 23 centimes.
In the.absence of definite news of
European gold shipments, the finan
cial community was inclined to
weigh the early rumors with con
servative scales and the impression
grew, stronger as jthe day" advanced
that really large 'quantities of the
metaHvere not likely to-omc in the
near future. The transfer to New
York from Lcyndoti and powibly
Paris of moderate, amounts from
time, to time, it vvas felt,would have
a worth-while sentimental effect and
such movements might begin at an
early, date. The xeceipl of $3,000,000
gold from Canada and information
that an equal amount is on the' way,
was considered an operation purely
for Canadian account with the end
of pending support to Canadian ex
cha.?e rales in this country The
comment banking circles dis
closed a growing feeling that finan
cial and industrial events in Europe
as the spring advances would dis
close more favorable, features than
