Everything was unusually quiet in the
harbor yesterday. not fish arrived be-
cause it was foggy the night before and
no fishing boats went out, and because
it was rough outside and no fishing
could be done. No lobster smacks ar
rived for the same reason.
She ship ST. John was ready to sail and
expected a Morse tug at 10 o'clock a. M,
but waited all day for the tug, which
didn't arrive. She is bound to New
York with the remainder of her cargo,
including fancy Japanese articles and a
large quantity of manganese ore to be

COMM ERcIAL NOTES.
Bananas and Strawberries Lob
ssters and Raw lobster and Fried Lob

Bananas have begun to come by the
car load The first car load came about
two weeks ago to Cummings & Winches-
ter. The second came last Monday to I.
S. Bean S Co. Three car loads have
come up to date. These two firms are
the only agents of importers in the city.
They receive practically all the bananas
that come into the city, except small lots
of few punches. All other dealers on
Commercial street buy of these two re-
ceiving agents, because they are the only
firms that buy bananas by the car load,
and the others buy OF them at the same
price and save good deal in the freight.
In the height of the summer season,
from four to six carloads of bananas
come to this city every week. Now they
are averaging car week. There are
other receiving agents, from the import
efs,in Bangor and Lewiston. These
threescities are the only distributing
points for bananas and the agents re-
ceive nearly all the bananas
for the whole state, the total being, in
the height of the season, from six to
eight car loads week There are from
800 to 400 punches in a car and about 125
bananas for an average in bunch, which
makes a grand total of at least 300, 900
bananas handled weekly by the whole
sale houses of Maine.
Our wholesale fruit stores began to
handle strawberries this year on the 10th
of February, which is two months earlier
than ever before. Now they are hand
ling from 800 to 1000 quarts week.
There was a big cart in front
of a lobster shop on Commercial street
yesterday. It was full of red and green
lobster shells and CLAIMS. Some of the
CLANS on the green shells were moving
with life. The poor Holsters had just
been torn apart and the flesh removed
for particular purpose. 1t is the Gus
tom to utilize those Holsters that get
dismembered and mutilated in the cars
/ and not fit for the regular trade, by re-
moving the flesh and sending it raw to
Boston, where it is sold to the hotels for
25 cents pound. These Holsters are
called ''pistoP' HOLSTERS. In the summer
time one firm alone frequently sends to
Boston one ton in a week of this expen-
siye and delicious flesh. On special oc-
casions, such as Fourth of July, there
are special orders, and this firm has sent
out from 1900 to 1900 pounds in one day.
The Boston hotels fry It. in Jumps like
fish balls, and it is said to be delicious.
1t might be worth while for Portland
people to make use of these mutilated
Holsters in this way and keep some of
the raw flesh in the home market.

THE FESTIVAL OF AUTHORS"
Whittier's "Snow Bound"-The Living Pic
lures Again-The Fair Fully Underway
and Well Patronized.

To realize the extent of the efforts of
the promoters of this Y. M. G. A. Auxil-
larry fair, and their efficiency and taste
fulness it is only necessary to carefully
inspect any one of the principal fea-
lures.
Enter the sSnowbound'' exhibit. Ev-
erything possible has been done to repre-
sent the famous old farm house as per-
fectly as possible, and here Architect
Tompson again proved blessing to the
ladies. He built a fireplace exactly SIM
liar to that in Whittier's old home in
Haverhill, except that the brickwork is
painted on paper, and the crane is made
of wood. But it holds the old kettle all
right. Apples are roasting in the fire
place. and there is a basket of the clas-
sic hickory nuts. Everything else in the
room is old. The spinning wheel in the
corner belongs to Miss Sarah Brock, and
used to belong to her mother. The flax
that Miss Brock spins every evening
with the skill acquired in childhood, was
raised by her father on the old home
stead in Lyman, York county. There is
a looking glass 100 years old, warming
pan that has been in Mr.. j. B. Coyle's
family $50 years, and chairs and books
equally venerable.
