STATE OF THE MARKETS.
The Bad Roads Kept Many Farmers
at Home.

Owing to the bad condition of the sur
rounding roads in the country leading into
the city a large number of farmers who
frequent the markets here have been COM
PEELED to remain at home since the recent
snowstorm. Those who came in this morn
Ing report the roads as being slippery and
rough which makes the going dangerous
to their animals. The few who were on
hand with country dressed poultry, butter
and eggs this morning had but little trou-
BILE in disposing of their products
From the outlook, it is stated, fish will
probably be rated at high figure during
Lent owing to the recent strike Of the
fishermen In southern waters. 1t Is said,
however, that a majority of the men have
returned to work. 1t is feared there will
be scarcity of the finny tribe from the
waters of the lower Potomac during Lent.
The dealers say this will be due to the cold
weather, which makes it impossible for the
men to work.
The price of eggs Is still at the top notch
the retail price being, as a rule, 80 cents
per dozen. Butter commands the same
price it has for several weeks past.
Dressed poultry is also rather high, from
10 cents to 20 cents per pound being de-
manded by dealers. Tomatoes have de-
creased somewhat in price during the last
two or three weeks. This morning they
were selling at from 20 cents to 25 cents per
pound Strawberries Of the dollhouse va
rlety remain at the same scale as they
were during the past month.
celery is plentiful, and vegeta bles such
as are usually on hand at this time of the

Salaries of Street Car Employees.


To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
On behalf of the faithful and hard-worked
conductors and motormen of the street car
systems of this city 1 desire to express,
through the columns of your fair and popu-
lar paper a vigorous protest against what
1 consider great injustice. 1 refer to the
dreary hopelessness and injustice of their
treatment at the hands of the corporations
that employ them, and are able to pay good
dividends and thrive through their faithful
service. This injustice and unfair treat
ment consists in a failure to appreciate
such true and good men by any promotion
whatever. No matter how many years of a
mans life and during the prime Of his life,
he has ever so truly served these compa-
nies,. he has nothing to look forward to by
way of reward for honest and painstaking
began with years ago when he was young
single man. Now he has been married sew
eral years and has a wife and children to
support, with all that means-house rent
food, fuel, clothing and other expenses Now
1t seems to me that fairness, justice and good
business policy and humanity would suggest
something like the following: For the first
five years, 50 day: for the next five years,
81 %; the next five years, $3.50, and Is cents
per day added at the end Of every succeed
ing five years until he receives So per day.
How such system Of promotion would
brighten the lives Of these men and thereby
inspire more faithful service. I know a
conductor on the 14th street line who has
been in the employ of this company for
many years. A more faithful painstaking,
competent and popular conductor cannot be
found in this city or any other city, and he
has a family to support. After all these
years has he not earned liberal promo
ton? 1 think the company should at once
raise his little income to So per day, and I
hope that very soon all our prosperous city
railroads will establish a system of promo
ton as liberal, at least, as / have sug-
gested. ROBERT A. PHILLIPS,
