Smith, a merchant of Jacksonville, Report of Committee On Food Prices in the City L The committee appointed by the em ployes, exclusive of superintendents and foremen of the fertilizer industry in Wilmington, to investigate current prices on foodstuffs in the city, yes terday tabulated the results of its findings in every quarter of the city, onsome 26 articles of food. The' table is given below; i The committee stajtes that prices here are on the "downward slide," its is evidenced by the prieeB quoted from, a large number of stores In the eastern, western, northern, southern and cen tral sections of the city. Thirty-four stores were asked for prieeB, but the committee says that some of them were so" "scandalously high" that they refrained from usiner the quotations given. The committee declares that the consumer can find plenty of places where prices are reasonable, and says that these places all have phones and delivery service; and that It Is up to the consumer to seek out the places and patronize them, thus encouraging the dealer who is offering foodstuffs at what the committee considers "rea sonable" prices. Members of the committee were very confident that agitation and pressure recently begun by the Klwanis club' has had a good effect, and that prices have undergone a decided change r the better, from the consumer's stand Fu1 The conimittee said, however, that there were still places where high prices prevailed. Some of the dealers put down as "reasonable," said the committee, are making known their prices through advertising, and others are not, and the consumer will Inst have to hunt them up. No names are given in the tabulated report, but prices are quoted as found in the varioS sections of the city, as follows- North 25c 20c 35c 38c 35c 40-75c 50c 50c v South 25-28C 15-16-18C - '45-50C 35c 35c 40c 30c 30c 40-50c 60c 35-40C 90c-1.00 95c 12 lb. $112 lbs. ...
