REPORT GOOD INQUIRY.
Buyers are inclined to tack nvelier interest
III the -four market, and millers report the gen
eral inquiry good. The railroad situation

ment. Demand is we'll divided and covers the
entire territory with especially good demand
noted from local consumers. Stocks In the
eastern centers light and are decreasing
slightly instead of increasing. The outlook 1s
for good. steady demand to continue. This
morning the car situation, in so far as obtaining

proved. but there is little improvement in con

English Sparrow Nuisance.

The attention of the News has been
called by leading citizen of the city
to the threatened expulsion of song
birds and other native birds from
Palatka by the invasion Of the Eng
lish sparrow.
1t is well known that wherever this
English sparrow is permitted to live
he soon succeeds in driving out every
other bird. That would mean a great
loss to Palatka or any other Florida
town where we have the mocking
bird, the red bird, the robin and many
other beautiful birds of song and
bright plumage.
The English sparrow is here. He
is multiplying fast. But he doesn't
own the town yet. 1t has been sug-
gested that the city council take up
the matter of their determination.
Judge Vertrees thinks that one or
two good men could be employed to
shoot them, and that these men after
tracking them to their haunts could
kill them off in few evenings.
One thing is certain, whatever is
done must be done quickly in order
to be effective.
