AND CARROT
PRICES IN AIR
Array of Asparagus, Parsnips,
Cabbage, Lettuce, Turnips
And Other Vegetables on
' Market This Week.
The fragrant green, onion; blush
ing radish, and healthful carrot may
no longer be despised, for they are
away out of the class of cheap vege
table now and rank with the most
expensive that may grace the family
table. Green onions, radishes and
carrots are on the market irf con
siderable numbers now, but the long
railroad trip they take reaching
Omaha makes aristocrats of them.
All sell at about IS cents per bunch.
A veritable array of vegetable
treats awaits the marketer this week.
Asparagus hs 'now to be had and
own season. The latter is plentiful
and is being sought by housewives.
To the new arrivals must be added
cabbage, lettuce, turnips, and the
others that have been! available all
winter. , Cabbage Is still selling at
10 centi'at most groceries, and head
lettuce, still plentiful, at about the
same price asked last week.
Fruit Prices Tumble.
Whether the grocers' drive-on-the
H. C L. Avas responsible is not
known, but during the past week
fruit prices suffered a slight tumble.
Oranges, selling at about, 90 cents
per dozen a week ago, may be had
this week at about 80 cents. Grape
fruit is also down a few cents, but
lemons remained steady. Potatoes,
on the other Hand, took the advent
of -the drive nd the appearance in
the field of a federal fair price com
"missioner as a time to go up in
price,' and are generally quoted at
a slight increase over last week's
prices. .
Flour is available at a large num
ber of stores at wholesale prices,
and the quotations depend on
whether the flour was bought before
or after an increase of a few weeks
ago. Butter prices today are slight
ly higher than they were a week
ago, .but eggs are lower. Grocers
are Confident that the season of
good supply and low prices of eggs
is at hand.
Poultry Off Market.
Wholesalers put beef prices up
"about 5 cents on the pound during
the -airfV. meat dealers declare, but
at many markets the increase hasj
not yet been passed onto customers.
Lamb is scarce, the butchers say,
and prices have been growing grad
ually. Pork remained steady.
Poultry if almost off the market,
according to reports. Hens sell
wholesale at about 38 cents, and
roosters 5 cents cheaper. These
prices are slightly lower than those
of a few weeks ago, in spite of the
decrease in the supply.
One of the sure signs of spring
reported by grocers is a demand
lor garden seed. Seed racks have
been aet up in many stores, and
early buying indicates that Omaha
acquired a habit when it began
planting war gardens a few years
back.
