The price of mullet has risen in the
local market. Young fish are now five
cents each, while grown ones are ten
cents. This is due to the fact. that
they can only be taken now by cast
nets, and are consequently scarcer
now than usual.-Tampa Herald.
The wholesale destruction of the
turtle, and what is worse, of it's eggs,
is a matter that calls for the atten-
ton of the State legislature. There
was a time not so many years ago,
when the pursuit of the turtle was
profitable industry in the State, but
the catch has been gradually decreas-
ing year by year, until from many.
thousands of dollars the value of the
crop has dwindled to a few hundred.
This is an industry that certainly
needs the protection of the law; we
have our game laws, for the benefit
of those who seek their pleasure with
us during the season.; our fish laws
which are in some cases unnecessarily
restrictive, then why not give the tur-
tie show, so that as a contemporary
POLITICALLY puts it, ''the voice of the
turtle might still be heard in the land
Of flowers? ?" 1t s-probable that those
who will be most benefited by such1.a
law will oppose it most vigorously, for
that is ever the way of mankind, but
the supply Of turtles is not inexhausti
bic, and if no steps are taken to pre-
vent the destruction of their nests, the
days of the Florida turtle are num-
bered. -Titusville Advocate

SUDDEN RISE IN DRESSED BEEF.
An Advance of LIE to L 1-2c That
VIII Principally Affect the
Poorer Classes.

There has been an advance in the price
of dressed beef that Will materially af-
feet the Kansas City consumer. Yesterday
morning the agents Tor the packing
houses visited the retail meat men OF the
city and informed them that they could
no longer supply them with beef at the
old prices and that no grade of dressed
beef would be sold hereafter at less than
6 cents per pound, and that all other
grades would be advanced in proportion.
The butchers at the city market were in
dignant at the sudden raise and claim
that IL is a result of a combine between
the big packing houses. All of the packers
except Swift deny that they have made
any raise in prices. +. H.. Cliff, manager
of the retail trade for Swift & Co, says
that butchers are continually asking for
light cattle and as it is practically i'm
possible TO get them in this market his
firm was compelled to get more money out
of its goods and. consequently, had put
the price of beef at o cents.
The higher prices will affect no class
as much as ii will the labOring people
and poorer classes. who buy the cheaper
grades. The butcher will. of course, adj
vance the retail price and the consumer
will have TO foot the bill. one butcher
SAYS that he will have to advance the
prices on medium and fair beef from l to
1lz cents per pound.
