Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The week is too young for any fresh develop
ments, but with the skies brighter than for
many Mondays trade starts out with signs Of
improvement. The chief trouble lies in the
scarcity of stuff. Potatoes are still scarce and
firm. Apples are in light supply, but move
slowly on account Of high price. Oranges are
good stock at quotations Cabbage is quiet.
Onions are steady. Dairy products move along
in the old ruts with a steady demand for high
grade stock. Eggs are quiet but unchanged.

BUSINESS NOTES.

The bulk of house renting is over for this
season, for which real estate agents are truly
thankful.
BUSINESS was unusually quiet on Fourth
avenue yesterday. Even rumors were scarce
1t is thought the lull will be of short duration
as everything points to brisk times in the i'm.
mediate future.
THE Reading Railroad reports that its coal
shipment (estimated) for the week ending
March q was 10000 TONS of which 5000 tons
were sent to Port Richmond and lOOOO tons
were sent to Port Liberty.
THE Pennsylvania Railroad reports that the
quantity of coal and coke originating on and
carried over its lines east of PittsburC and Erie
for the week ending March Is was 34l 326 tons. of
which 226 0O4 tons were coal and 1l5, ,322 tons
coke.
THE syndicate formed to buy up East Ohio
street, Allegheny, is proceeding very cautiously.
Only two or three small purchases have been
made, but some important deals are said to be
cooking. So far there has been no movement
in values.
THE talk of locating the main building of the
Carnegie library at Point Breeze has given
quite an impetus to real estate in that vicinity.
An agent was kept busy for several hours Sat
urday evening answdting telephone inquiries
for options at Boulevard place The indications
are that prices will move up peg.

TIE BOOM EXPLODED.
Pleasant Valley Tnkes n Downward Course
Gas and fractions Wenker.

The demand for Pleasant Valley seemed to
have been satisfied yesterday, and the boom in
it collapsed. 1t declined from 2754 at the open
ing to q at the close, net loss of 75 cents
share. Whether the depression will be per-
manent or is only preparatory to another deal
must be left TO time to determine. There are
those who think that the rapid advance was
not justified by the earnings, and that the
slump is natural reaction.
Central Traction also submitted to a sharp
concession, while the others barely held their
own. Philadelphia Gas lost ground, declining
from BIZ at the opening to 81 bid at the close
Monongahela National Bank was bid up to 1l9,
without offers. The par value of the stock Is
500.
There was very little change in the rest of
the list which was steady as a rule. Early
prices were generally the BEST Total sales
were 375 shares

THE PRESSURE RELIEVED.
A Large Amount of small EoIes Brought
West-Easy and Busy.

The scarcity of small notes was temporarily
overcome yesterday by the receipt of large
amount crisp and fresh from the Treasury,
consisting of assorted sizes from twenties to
ones.
The week opened with an easy money market,
the supply being abundant and the demand
moderate. Checking and depositing were
large, showing that business is at least holding
its own. Exchanges were SIS OLA 81 and bal

CHARLESTON, s. c., March PA vio-
lent storm, approximating the force of a
tornado in some places, swept over the
northern, western and central portions of
the State Saturday afternoon. Many tele-
graph wires are still down and satisfactory
reports are not yet received. The loss of
lie was small. Several negroes were killed
in Sumter county, and white man in
Union county, by falling houses. The rail-
road bridge over Broad river, near Spartan
burg, was blown clean from its piers five
minutes after train had passed.
Many dwellings and stores lost roofs and
spires. The Baptist church in Sumter was
blown down. Buildings were unroofed,
fences leveled, trees uprooted and Presby-
terian church destroyed in Chester county.
There was a severe blow with occasional

FRUIT FOR THE PEOPLE.
Fruit Importers Protest Against Increased
Tariff on ORANGE. and Lemons.


Tariff on Oranges and Lemons.
NEW YORK, March PA large number
of dealers, jobbers and importers of foreign
fruit and lemons and oranges have sent a
petition to the Committee on Ways and
Means at Washington, protesting against
any increase in the duty on oranges and
lemons.
The petitioners claim that the bulk of the
working classes and in the tenement dis
tricts, and quantity is sent to points west,
where none OF the Florida fruit is sold on
account of its high price. They assert that
no injury will be done to the domestic trade
by keeping the duty at its present standard,
and that an increase of duty will only tend
to drive out of the business without doing
the home fruit growers any good.
