LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.

The average receipts OF fruits for Tues.
day. which are usually heavy, came IN
yesterday and the stocks were very well
cleared out.
The potato condition Is now Strengthened
and the oyersupp9y that glutted the market
for good while locally, is wiped out
and the commodity was becoming a scarce
one yesterday. The price In most sales
was at S1.35.
More lemons could have most likely
been disposed OF. hut the scarcity was not
sufficient to affect the market.
The grain and hay situation was slightly
weaker than on the day before. Quota
Tens were slightly altered.
The cousignments OF poultry were ex-
uenloly few, though for the day selling
Prices did not change
The special blue star brand Of oleomar-
garine was advanced PC On the pound.
Onions are also at better demand and
prices moved mp &c per pound.

expected in few days

Talking Of counferfeitefs puts me In
mind OF one. a notorious rascal. who
vas caught not long ago In this city
while at his nefarious trade said the
ex-treasury official 20 the Washington
Star. 'The paper money this man pro-
duced was absolutely perfect IN every
detail but one thing. and it seems
strange that a man Of his knowledge
and experience Of the art Of counter
feting should not have known IT, !"
Here the treasury official took a 81
bin from his pocket Il was new and
crisp and he pointed out a diminutiVe
letter G on the right under the bill's
number and another down in the other
corner. Nov" be continued, Il don't
suppose there are ten men IN a hun
dred outside the treasury department
who knows that these seemingly un-
necessary letters are on United States
bills. And even Il they had noticed
them ! am willing 70 bet that not one
Of them could tell what they signify.
Handing another bill TO the reporter
the ex-treasury man asked him to read
the last four figures They we're 1921
The treasury man said almost Instant
ly The letter on that bin is B, which
was correct Half a dozen other bills
were produced and when the treasury
man was told the last four figures Of
their numbers he was able 10 tell with
lightning rapidity what letter would
be found on each bill In each case
the letter was either A. 3. C or d.
"The explanation is simple" said he.
II you take the last four figures Of
the number on any bill, no matter
what ifs denomination. and divide
them by four you viii have a remain

many precautions taken by the gov
ernment against eounterfeiters. You

or good by making that test would

A pleasing little variety they offer
in Vienna is in the purchase Of theater
tickets. II You buy them in advance Of
the performance you are charged an
extra sum for the privilege, says a cor
respondent in the New York Times.
You pay for your reserved seat and
you pay for reserving it. AT the res
taurants there Is another peculiar Prep
osition. Apparently no account is kept
Of what you have ordered, but when
you are through with your luncheon

Indeed. It has been well said that for
eolltude TO be successful a man must

most trying features Of his unmarried
life Is TO have to eat alone And a
premature dyspepsia IS the only thins

There are some few happily disposed
individuals who can dine alone and
not eat too fast nor too much nor tot
little. With the majority it is differ
ent. The average man puts his novel
or bis paper before him and thinks
that he viii iengthen out the meal

through his food as fast as possible to
plunge into his arm chair and litera-

lonely man must digest at a disad-
vantage. Certainly It is not good 70

The effect Of dipping any potato into
lye water, no matter how old, is to
crack and curl the skin, while It at the

firm. The resemblance Of the spurious

so close that Il takes an expert TO de-
