sPRING VEGETABLES.
The Sorry Ghosts OF Them That are Now
TantaII1Ing the New Yorkern.

TantRlIEinE the New TOrkers.
NEW YoRK, March 9.-Strawberries are
in market. They are not of the best Quail
ity, large, ripe, red and lucious, but they
are tempting, and cost only seventy-five
cents for the little basket known as a
quart, at retail. They come from Florida.
So, also, the retailers in Washington mar
ket talk about green peas, but about green
peas hangs a mystery. The truth is that
a lot of green peas did come into market
some days ago, and they were sold for
forty cents half peck in the pod. These
peas were raised In South Carolina, but
were frozen in the pod-at least so say
those wholesale dealers who did not sell
them. The first crop of peas and beans in
the South ID frozen out. The few boxes
OF green peas and beans now in the mar
ket are from Florida. A six Quart box
of ripe red tomatoes from Nassau and the
Bermudas can be bought for one
costs thirty cents. They have been in the
market for six weeks So a lot of new po-
| tatoes came from the Burmudas on the
last trip, and are selling at fifteen cents a
quart, but their character is assailed bv
the wholesalers that did not purchase
them. It is said that they are not this
years potatoes at all, but a late crop of
/
appearance much newer and better than
last years potatoes grown in this State.
Very nice English breakfast radishes have
been on sale for three weeks at 81 dozen
bunches- They come from Boston, where
| more attention is given to their hot-house
culture than on Long Island or in New
Jersey. So also the first early lettuce
comes from Boston lighthouses. 1t looks
very appetlzing, and costs only 81 25 a
dozen heads. Water crosses have been
pulled out of Staten Island streams for two
weeks. Spinach is selling for thirty cents
per half peck. A few barrels were brought
from Norfolk last week, but it is no better
than hot-house product Other retail
prices are as follows: Sweet potatoes,
twenty-five cents a half peck; pieplant,
two punches for twenty-five cents; parse
ley, five cents bunch; onions, ten cents
quart; white turnips, eighteen cents q
half peck; carrots, twenty-five cents a
dozen; cabbage, ten cents a head.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The Board OF
Directors of the Columbia College Boat
Club held a meeting tonight to consider
the challenge sent them by the Harvard
University Boat Club to row an eight
cared four=mile straight-away with the
coxswains. AS the challenge grew out of
the desire shown by both clubs to begin a
series of annual cared races, it was
unanimously resolved to accept the chaI.
lenge and committee was appointed to
take charge of the arrangements.
The race will be rowed for q set of flags,
and will probably take place before the
Yale-Harvard race in June, and on the
same course. Other racing events of the
season will be the Harvard Columbia
freshman race, and the race for the ChiIds'
Cup at Philadelphia. The Columbia crew
regard the outlook for the coming race as
talr. Five new men will be required for
the University eight; three of last years
four remain in the CO ,lege.

TIRED OUT.
Garfield Weary OF the trials OF his New
Position.


Position
WASHINGTON, March 10.-A gentleman
who called upon President Garfield to-
day, says that his face unmistakably shows
the effects of the days of WEAKNESS and
anxiety through which he has passed.
He has lost in weight, and looks very
weary, or, as the gentleman put it, COM
pIetely tired out. The cares and anxieties
of the exalted position set much less
lightly upon him than upon President
Hayes, who kept up his weight and spirits
through all the trying ordeal 1t is said
by those who know them, that HAYES
could dismiss the cares of office and go to
sleep, but that Garfield takes the anxiety
of the day to bed with him, and hence
loses much needed sleep. 1t is regarded,
however, that the most trying days of his
experience are passed, and that hereafter
he can take it easier. To-day, in COM
pany with friend, an intimate friend and
associate of President Garfield called
upon him and asked for certain Office in
Ohio. The gentleman who made this re-
quest befriended Garfield in his youth.
and has been his long friend The
Presidents reply Is important as settling
the question weether he will make many
removals amoug the minor classes of Off
GERS. He said the office in question was
not now vacant, and that he should make
no removals simply to make places for
somebody else, in cases where the incum-
bent satisfactorily discharged his duties
He said that WhC n the commission of the
incumbent expired, he would take into
consideration the application of the gen.
tleman IN question, but would not, under
any circumstances, remove q good man
from an office simply to make room for
another.

England and Iho Monetary Conference.
LONDON, March lO.-A deputation of
the Liverpool Incorporated Chamber of
Commerce yesterday held a conference
with Harrington, Secretary of State for
India, and presented a memorial urging
the Government to appoint commission
to represent England, and especially India,
at the Monetary Conference. Harrington
pointed cut there was some difficulty,
owing to the terms in which the in invitation
OF France and the United States was
couched. As originally worded, it seemed
to commit the governments accepting it to
the adoption of bi.metalism and the ad-
mission thSt the maintenance of the gold
standard is impolitic. The Government
could not participate in any conference
which assumed Willingness to abandon
the gold standard. NegOtions have con-
sequently taken place with a view to mod
flying the invitation in order to permit
England to accept it consistently. With
these reserves, England and India would
willingly adopt any sale and prudent
measure which might help to rehabilitate
the value of silver.
