SOARING FOOD PRICES I e Wrmatat is That Agrees With The war has touched some vital bts in the market for lome proâ€" @ts.‘ The flour market, /which has n quite placid up to two weeks io, went up on Monday 30 cents a trel, and advancing wheat portends ‘mmm ascensions. ‘Oatmcal and led" 63t=~ant ~otherâ€"cerealsâ€"have so been ‘‘drawn into the vortex" id gohnc upwards.

Q’@u foods that . come to us within the war zone will go up, pricés being contingent upon the‘ ‘ hn of the mammoth disturbâ€"| e. â€" Among these will be found| t, beans, nfuts, cream of tartar, | g prunes and French peas. Alâ€"| dy sugar has taken the plunge. An rapce of 10 cents a hundred went El;wt here on Monday. â€" ‘The of this is the fact that laborâ€" ~have been withdrawn from the} ids in the European sugar beet tricts to fight for their respective intries, thus becoming a burden to mionl instead of producers; ied ‘with the fact that the Unit: F@m which" purchases the k of her supplies from the conâ€" lent, ‘is now competing with s â€" West India raws, the supply ‘of ich," so far as this year‘s crop is T he Aged b.«- mt ..

At w'tlxe same time in thus staying the Gérman advance. the Belgians have tpcrmitted the juniction of French and British atmies hastening to their aid. Even if the report be true that the Germans have at last succeeded . in lovetwhelming the defenders of Liege by vast superiority of numbers the Belgians have won a great moral Vicâ€" it«ory that is likely to have an imâ€" portant pearinz upon the futute oPerâ€" lntions oi.the opposing atmies. We used to hear that it was kings made war, and that if it were, left to the people there would be nc war. And so it would seem still, says the Montreal Witness, when we note the fervid and at times violeat opposition to militarism ‘of those enâ€" gaged in the labor movement, and their declarations that they â€"wil} istrika pigainst war. ~But when the trum; blows there nevet lacks popâ€" ular support.
