Vegetables have been more plentiful
this wear than ever before" said grocer
yesterday, "but we have not had any
greater sal perhaps than years when the
crop was not so aburd ant, from the fact
that the farmer will bring in his load and
finding that the markets are full he will
start through tn, city peddling Ga the
other hand when p>tatoes sold for 81 a bar
rel, we disposed of more than when 90
cents is the price, for it is then, on account
of the scarcity, that the grower will sell his
produce at the market, to save the trouble
an loss of time in peddling.'

A ScandaIous Conversation.

Two respectable looking men Of
middle age were talking quite earnest
ly and quite audibly in Cold Spring
car the ether evening.
"Did you go to see herf" asked one.
"0h, yes, certainly" replied the
other.
"How do you like her"
Il think she is a perfect beauty"
was the rapturous reply. Whereat all
the passengers looked that way, and a
young woman directly opposite the
speaker blushed, and tried to pretend
she wasn't listening.

added the man II like her STYLE"
elegantly built and fitted out, isn't
She"
"Yes, and she's pretty fast, too"
The young woman across the aisle
could stand it no longer. She nodded
confusedly to the conductor, and got
off at the next crossing.
The respectable looking men didn't
notice anything and kept right on
with their gossip.
Il wouldn't mind owning her."
II wouldn't object myself. She'll

shipments Of Cash stopped,

WASHINGTON, July S.--The treasury
officials have been compelled to stop
all shipments OF cash to points west OF
the Ohio river, in consequence Of the
strikes. Under the contracts with the
government the express companies
are not liable for losses incurred in
consequence OF riots or other unlawful
acts OF that character. And acting
under privilege granted them in their
contracts, the several express compan-
les have notified the officials that they
will not accept cash for shipments to
points west OF Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Louisiana.
This situation is unfortunate, partlcu-
larly at this time, as pensions are now
being paid in Chicago, and money is
needed there for that purpose. The
subtreasury at Chicago, however, has
considerable quantity Of funds on
hand, and it is expected that it will be
able to make satisfactory arrangements
with the banks for any amount they
may need until the pending troubles
are over. The express companies have
been notified to return all shipments
Of cash now in transit to the nearest
subtreasury at government expense.
