Effect of Drouth on Chicago
Produce Market.

Chicago, July 30.-"Though the drouth
has been broken says the Post today,
the woeful effect of the agricultural
situation is now being brought home to
Chicago and to other cities as well.
Prices of vegetables average double
what they were a year ago. Poultry
and veal come in deteriorated to an ex-
tent that has caused a. material falling
off in the demand Eggs arrive with an
excessively large per centage of loss. It
is a good consignment which reaches
South Water street with six out of a
dozen eggs in proper condition. So ser
iously has the fruit crop suffered that
for canning purposes prices are almost
prohibitive and California fruits are
now bringing almost as much as they
did at the beginning of the season.
Potatoes, which last summer sold
from 80 to 40 cents per busheI are now
moved at SIPS to $1.30. During the past
few days dry peas and beans have ad-
vanced so cents a bushel owing to the
demand from the drouth stricken dis
tricts- Even at this advance dealers
are unable to fill all their orders. The
prices quoted are wholesale. The ma
jority of retail dealers refuse to keep
perishable fruits and vegetables on
hand as prices are so high that their
customers will not buy and the grocers
have learned a lesson from previous
losses thus caused

SMITH DENIES IT.
Says Mason Is Being Saved For
Doster's Place.

The Seventh district politicians are
having a time reconciling the can
didacy of both Henry P Mason, of
Garden City, and Justice Greene of
Harvey county, for the supreme bench.
There have been rumors that Mason
viii have to fight down Greene, who
will be up for an election as a con-
tinuation of his appointment when the
supreme bench was enlarged.
State Senator Fred Dumont Smith is
close to Mason, and he enters a Wig
orous denial that Mason is to be
Smith said today: THE friends of Ma
son are unquestionably for landing him
on the supreme bench. But they have
no fight on Greene. You will see that
there will not be a bit of it. Doster's
place will be vacant, and that is the
place we intend to push Henry Mason
into.
we are asking for Mason on the
state ticket for the supreme bench be-
cause we think it equitable. Every
judge on the supreme bench is from the
eastern half of the state. Greene, while
from the Seventh district, is froz1 Har-
the state must be reappOrtioned at the
next session. Harvey being on the
east end of the big Seventh will go into
the new Seventh, no doubt, and the
western counties be formed into the
new Eighth. Judge Ellis, while from a
western district, is still east of a north
and south central line. For such equit-
able reasons 1 say the Seventh is ask
ing for Mason and Greene both, and
they will both have the support of the
district, too. They will not fight each
other for it,
The First district is really the polit-
ical center that is put on the defensive.
Friends Of Welch and Mcfarland have
designs on placing one or the other of
them on the Republican state ticket in
Doster's place. If the First district
does not oppose Mason, it will oppose
someone else. That someone else may
be picked out to be Judge Cunning
ham. of the Fourth district.
