MARKET SUPPLIES.
Why Fish Prices Are Hfgh-POuftry
and Fruit.

A dealer in fish in the Center market said
the present high prices for fish brought
from the southern waters was caused by
the fishermen refusing to work unless they
received higher scale of wages.
THE end of the continued high prices
will probably come very soon," he eX-
plained, "for the question has been settled
and the men have promised to return to
work about the first of next month.
THE local fish dealers are paying the
same prices for their supplies this year as
they were sold at retail last year, and OF
course have to demand larger sum in or
der to make any profits"
Eggs have dropped in price since last
week. The difference Is two cents less to
the dozen, and a further drop may occur
before the end of next week.
Turkeys are rather scarce now, owing to
the large demand that was made for them
in the holiday season. The average price
asked by the poultry dealers in the market
is Is cents per pound.
Lettuce and cucumbers are found on the
stands nearly all the year round. The let
tuce Is rather scarce at present, 1t being
between seasons.
Asparagus, the product of Illinois hot
houses can be purchased now for about
10 cents per bunch.
"The rabbit season is nearly over" it was
remarked by dealer in game, but the
sale for them was good this year" he ad-
ded. -
The orange crop was an excellent one
this season." was the answer to a question
about this delightful fruit made to a local
dealer. Much better than last year, for
then large part of the crop was ruined by

His aim was deliberate. and his bullet
sped true At the report Colonel Bentley
threw up his hands and fell backward. his
horse gaIIoping on riderless. The bullet
had gone through his heart, as it was
meant to go.
The victor in the duel pulled up his horse
and rode close to his PROSTATE adversary;
the Inspection was not satisfactory, so he
dismounted and carefully examined his
fallen foe and made sure he was dead.
Then he cantered into town. told the

explained that the killing was done in self

him.
