FOND OF POTATOES.
Birmingham Uses More Than Nash vile and Chattanooga Combined.

Last week was rather quiet on Morris avenue, the markets being in little more settled condition. One feature in the fruit and produce market was the scarcity of hens. There never has been time in the hist ory of the avenue when at this sea- son hens were as scarce. It Is supposed the high price of eggs, 16 cents. has kept them out of the market.
 There are plenty of young chickens at 15 and 20 cents, but few large frys. The first canteloupes and peaches of the sea- son came in last week. The cante loupes are selling at $2.5O to s and the peaches at q to $1 .50. Watermelons have also ap- peared, and are selling at 50 cents each.
 Southern Alabama tomatoes are expect ed in the last of the week.
 Birmingham at the present time Is con- suming an immense amount of Irish po- tatoes and cabbage. Produce merchants say that more potatoes are shipped into Birmingham than into Nashville and Chattanoo ga combined
