sixteen dollars and sixty-fve cents,
less $3.50, leaves $875-the sum of our
loss. That's as near as l can figure it
out. I tell you, Lent's harder on our
trade than people think. No, we're not
altogether sorry when its over. It's the
worst season OF the year for us, in fact"
In further conversation with market
street fish merchant, we learned that the
increase in their trade was from 20 to 70
per cent, and the demand for eggs is in
creased to a greater or less extent. From
this it will readily be seen, that though
the butchers lose, the farmer and fish
merchant are benefited by his loss.

TEE LEsrEN SEAsoN.-he Loss to
Butehers.-But few people realize the
extent of the loss to butchers during the

is to the gain of fish dealers and farmers.
In order that the subject might be more

"Well, yes, to great extent. lou
know that great number OF our custo-
mers observe Lent, and they eat no meat
on Wednesdays and Fridays, and eat II
only at one meal on the other days, ex.
cept Sunday, when they are allowed to
partake of meat three times day, II they
so desire"
"Can you give me rough estimate OF
the loss to you during Lent? queried the
reporter.
"Yes," said the butcher. "You see we
