Butter in the top grades has advanceg about a cent @ pound, but the lower grades remain as last quoted.

Cheese is very firm, and prices have advanced a_frac- uon throughout, with indications of still.| higher prices. Poultry continues firm and prices are about as last reported]. The same can be sald of game. In vegetabies and fruits the market remains about as it has been for the past tw» or three weeks, and beef and other meats show only the changes noted from week to week.

Eggs are dull and about a cent a doxen lower today, prices being held down by ihe southern arrivals. Nearby fresh, 17 cents a dozen; western, 16 cenis, and southern, 15 cents.

Secretary Wilson said.to a Star reporter this afternoon that yesterday and today had broken all records for the winter in the number of applicants who have called at the office of the Associated Charities. Many sad and pitiful stories of want were told, and wherever ihe ‘nvestigation has shown genuine need something has been done in the way of relief. In vigw of the fact that the funds at the disposal of the police are entirely exhaust- ed, many applicants appiying for assist- ance from that source have been sent away, and for the most part they have gone direct to the Associated Charities to ask for a Httle food or fuel.
