Though business is reviving prices
continue 80 gravitate down. Fruits have
been lower than they have ranged for
years. Fine melons that never brought
less than fifty and seventy-five cents
have been sold in great quantities at
prices ranging from fifteen to twenty
five cents. Peaches cheap at seventy
five cents by the basket have been q
drug at thirty cents.
Boarding house people complain that
while there Is a rush for board, prices
are disastrously low. Walters who would
scorn less than $40 week thankfully
take IS. One of the largest establish
ments advertised for q bookkeeper.
Hours from seven to six; pay $6 a week
In one day over six pounds of applica-
tions were received. Houses that have
readily rented for $1,000 can be had for
5000. Good board that has not since the
war been less than $40 week, can be
obtained for $6. Dinner at first class
hotel can be had for forty cents, with
three courses, including luxuries.
Around the post-office number Of
restaurants have been open on q cheap
bill Of fare, with very fair table. Roast
beef with filings, fifteen cents; beef
steak, ten cents; and drinkable coffee

meal Is not furnished at these places.

reduced and people have their choice of
taking the low prices or remain out of
