What we eat is an important factor
in life, and inquiry made of loca
fishdealer discloses the fact that there
is weekly sold in this city about 250(
pounds of the product on an average
throughout the year. Of course dur

reach the high water mark. There il
about as much fresh paddock sold al
all other kinds combined, as it is les
expensive than some other varieties

twelve cents per pound, while on tn,
next week the price will jump to near
ly if not quite thirty cents per pound
