1 We can't Invite Our VERY MANY Friends to "Come
to our Party" today, but we can assure them that it is
in the Heart to Thank Them for the Making Possible
of such a celebration as we are having. It is not a
Feasting and Dancing, nor is it much of a Speech-Mak-
ing, but it is a THANKFULNESS for Success, made
possible by our Friends.
SIX YEARS AGO we started business way out in the
Suburbs, in a "Shanty" as compared with the quarters
now occupied. We had HOPE and a Few Groceries
as Capital—and a Determination to Win Out in Busi-
ness for ourselves.
Today we have One of the LARGEST and MOST
COMPLETE Grocery Stocks in the city—doing busi-
ness in Our Own Building, Owe Nobody and Growing
Right Along.
That's SOMETHING—we are surely APPRECIA-
TIVE and we Remember our FRIENDS as they have
Remembered Us, through Thick and through Thin.
Good Luck To You'

Another is the movement to get new
shades for the windows. Four of the
$18 or $20 needed was subscribed the

business men.
One hundred and thirty-seven books
were collected during this week and a
large number of others have been
promised.
Some of the collecting committee
will be at work Monday morning. The
work of collecting will not stop until
every book that is promised is in the
library.
Some cash subscriptions have been
made and a very neat sum was made
from the Electric Palace ticket sale.

gomery, cashier of the bank, it was
declared by officers, identified one of
the men.

manded admission. They were per-
mitted to enter after threats had been
made to blow up tho building. Au-

lance and authorities expect their ar-

Something of an Insight Into the
general situation of the markets of
food products and grocery supplies, as
regards the all-around advance in
prices, was gained through a talk yes-
terday with F. A. Thomson of the
Thomson Grocery company, the Tem-
ple whoesale grocers.
To draw conclusions in advance of
the recounting Of the facts, it may be
said that whiie the average buyer of
table supplies may feel that the prices
are something fierce, the kick—if h
feels that he has any kick ut all-
must be against the general situation.
It appears, and not against the retailer
who sells him the goods nor the job-
bers from whom the retailers buy
thoir stocks.
The retail merchants are having to
pay the higher prices for everything
they get—no doubt about that. The
jobbers, too, are not only having to
pay the higher prices but are having
a constant fight to get the goods even
at tho advance figures, according to
the quotations and correspondence on
file from their sources of supply.
Here are a few of the items gleaned
from the talk with Mr. Thomson:
On the 23rd of October, for ex-
ample, one of the largest cereal man-
ufacturing companies- in the United
States, one ranking financially with
the best and most substantial concerns
of the country, sent out a full line of
prices to the jobbers throughout the
country. On the 25th the company
sent telegrams to the same Joobers
withdrawing all quotations on its pro-
ducts, on account, as It staled, of the
advance In the prices of raw ma-
terials.
Canned corn was another item men-
tioned. As an illustration of the ad-
vance in corn, one firm of packers
wrote recently that owing to drouth
they could name a certain field of
1.000 acres in corn In Illinois which
would not make a bushel. Corn
packers, it is stated, are not filling
more than 30 or 40 per cent of their
contracts. As a result, no offerings
will be made until another season,
and the late quotations are 50 to 75
per cent above the opening prices.
Flour, following the recent advance
of 12 cents a bushel on wheat, has
moved up to a price that puts it close
to $11 a barrel to the consumer. Mr.
Thomson states that so far as he
knows this is the highest price on
flour in fifty years, and yet the price
to the jobbers and retailers is such
that they make no more on a sack of
flour than when It was selling at the
lower prices.
Tomatoes are quoted to the jobber at
an advance of 65 per cent, due to
short pack.
The dried fruit market Is very
strong. The packers fear that the
recent rains have damaged the raisin
crop, and therefore quotations on
raisins have been withdrawn. Peaches
advanced this week half a cent a
pound.
The wholesale price of potatoes has
advanced 45 cents a bushel In the last
week.
Onions have advanced half a cent !
a pound in a week.
Some tobaccos have gone up as
much as three cents a pound recently.
A large bean crop has been raised
on the western coast, we are informed,
but the demand In Europe and for the
United States army has been so strong
that the price remains high. In ad-
dition to the demand, rains setting in
as the beans were being gathered have
served to put up the price of the crop.
A large beet sugar crop has been
made in some of the western states,
and probably that with the outlook
for tiie next cane sugar crop would
reduce the price of sugar; but a short-
age of cars, according to all reports,
makes it impossible to get the beet
sugar to the markets, and dealers be-
lieve that doubtless manufacturers of
cane sugar are taking advantage of
this situation.
The car shortage, the dealers say.
presents a very serious situation, and
one that shows very little probability
of being relieved soon. The conges-
tion Is so serious that it is a known
fact that cars of canned corn have
remained In New York and Baltimore
from forty to fifty days without be-
ing unloaded, due to the lack of ships
or transportation facilities to get them
to the markets of the southern stales,
Two of the largest syrup concerns
In the United States withdrew prices
yesterday, Mr. Thomson said, stating
that they can not accept any more
business until Ihe first of January.
Flour quotations are being made by
wire only, with the understanding I
that if accepted, they must lie ao- :
j cepted by wire, ho offers remaining .
i open.
These items, said the wholesaler, I
| are samples of how the market is I
; running. They are given simply for
| the information of the public inter-!
j e.sted. Owing to the high prices of j
! farm products, tho producers of the j
j country who make the large part of I
} ti;e population of the south, are proi>- j
I ably less affected than any one else by j
I the skyward prices of living.
