The following are the answers receive
Brook T1out---And Others.
(By H. H. Brimley.)

To the Editor: In last Sundays News
and Observer Capt. S. A. Ashe makes the
statement that the mountain Cor brook
trout is the best table fish that swims. OF
course Capt Ashe is merely expressing
his personal opinion in the matter and
by no means thrusts his own ideas (and
favorite fish down other peoples Threats,
but he raises very interesting question
and one that / shall endeavor to throw a
little light upon IN this article.
looked up the wholesale prices of fresh
fish in New York for last week, this be-
ing the greatest fish market in the coun-
try so far as variety and choice stock
goes and found the following quotations,
those selected being the ten highest priced
ones on the list:
Brook trout, per h., 40 to so cents; bass,
boiling, 80 to 80; bass, medium, 20 to 30;
bass. pan, Is to 20; halibut, chicken, 25
to 80; kingfish, 25 to 80; northern macker-
ell, large, 16 to 20; pompano, 25 to Sc;
Spanish mackerel 25 to 80; Lake sturgeon,
Is: with Spanish mackerel dropping one
day to 10.
This strongly supports the claims made
for Salvelinus Fontinalis but other fac
tors besides table qualities must be con-
sidered here as having a bearing on the
subject. In the first place the State OF
New York has a stringent code OF game
laws and the brook trout is one OF the
infant industries subject to protection. As
the open season is not a long one the
fish's market value is enhanced thereby
without anything being added to its flavor.
Again. it is a fish of the angler-of the
sportsman-rather than of the commercial
fisherman and by reason of this and the
restrictions regarding its capture, 1T can
nowhere be taken in any large quantities
l suppose 1 might hazard the guess and
not be accused of any more exaggeratlon
than is usually allowed a fisherman. that
more herrings have been taken IN North
Carolina waters in one day than the total
number of brook trout reaching Fulton
market In 8 whole year. And as the re-
putatlon of and, the demand for the fish
are both good l can only presume that
the restricted supply must also be rec
koned with in fixing the price. Therefore,
to sum up, should say that the quality
Oh the fish as table delicacy would rank,
IN the estimation of the buying public,
about on the same level as the species on
the above list quoted at 80 to So cents per
pound

What is the most delicious fish i'll North

And where is the best sort of fishing and
the best place to fish in North Carolina?
During the past week the above momen-

many prominent citizens of the State by
reporters and correspondents. In addition
a note was addressed to a number OF eX-
pert fishermen for their opinion. The fol

Raleigh, N. C, Aug. 8, 1903
Dear Sir: Please do us the great kind
ness to write short article for Sundays
News and Observer, to be published with
thirty or forty articles, your opinion as
10 the most delicious fish found in North
Carolina waters, and the best sort of fish
ing and the best place to fish.
This question was mooted in Sundays
News and Observer and we wish to pub
hsh a symposium giving the opinion OF
good fishermen.
VERY truly yours,

and after that changes to the pike"
The pike is best for several reasons:
LIST. For its flavor. 1t has the best of
any fish swimming. End. 1t can be pre-
pared so nicely. On opening the fish
lengthwise, the back bone can be taken
out in a solid piece All the other bones
are joined to the backbone and are taken
from the fish at one time. This fish can
then be dressed in the same way as
turkey, baked and then cut in pieces
about inches long, served in orange
peel, squeeze about four drops OF lemon
juice on it and cover top lightly with
mayonaise dressing.
l tell you, boys, this Is something good.
The next fish is the "Brem,' found in
the southwestern part of the State.
The flavor of fish depends on the water
they swim in. The brem does not swim
in muddy water, but in clear spring water,
which has taken all the good vegetable
matters from the dark waters These fish
do not feed on other fish unless abso.
lutely compelled to. They feed on the
small insects and germs coming from the
clear spring waters.
The third best is Club" The flavor
of this fish is killed by the muddy water
in which they are generally found.
The "Shad' is an overrated fish, espe
cially when he gets in soft water The
shad is twice as good when used direct
from salt water than when taken from
soft waters. The soft water kills its
flavor
Another fish, which is so often made
fun of and very little thought of, but
when caught in nice clear water and well
prepared, is not to be sneezed at This
is Mr.. Cat Fish.

CAPT. N. w. WEST: Brook trout for

WHEAT.
Opening prices in wheat were strong to-
day in the face of easier cables. Bullish re-
ports from the Southwest. together with re-
ports of lack of rain in the Northwest.
cGused n good general demand at the start
and July opened i.c to &c higher at 7sa4c to
I6Is. and Sept. IsdAc higher at &c to ia.

The strength at st. Louis Minneapolis
and Duluth early in the day helped the mar
ket. but there was good deal OF long
wheat for sale at the advance. and with
reaction at st. Louis prices gradually eased
of. commiSSion-hous were free sellers
and before the middle of the session all the
opening advance had been lost. July being
down to 76i4c and Sept. to 1850. a better
demand developed toward the end of the
day aid the market became firmer. July

CORN.
Cold weather. with predictions of general
rains. was responsible for the renewal of
the bullsh sentiment in corn. and there
was good buying at the start by shorts and
commission houses. Opening prices were
strong. but as the session advanced the
market became easier. Que to n liberal SELL
ing by pit traders. The market closed about
where 1t left OF last night, July being
unchanged at 49a,c, after selling between

OATS.
Trading in oats was characterized by a
strong demand for July from shorts. which
caused a good advance in that month, and
by the strength in the December option.
Poor crop prospects were the main infiu-
ence. After selling between S'ac and ioi.c.

FRENCH CROP NEWS
CAUSES EARLY ADVANCE.
LACK OF SUPPORT LATER
BREAKS PRICES.
Corn, Though Dull. Holds Strong
on Excessive Rains in the
West.

Wheat was unchanged and corn a trife
higher in the local market yesterday There
was no snap to the market. Foreign news
cut some figure in the speculative situation
mainly because there was no important do
nestle information at hand. Buying at the
opening had no better basis than heavy
rains in France. Chicago professionals
helped along the upward movement until
they saw fit to take profits for a Derby
stake. and then the bottom dropped out of
the boom. Ii was a spectators market
throughout.
Sept. wheat opened ,sc off and sold at:
Giiac ,ttsc 5tsc ;t'.c. Hi2c 747sc. 7f.c. Use.
'fsc 1tac. Hl2c, 1iIsc.
An excess of rain over a large portion of
the belt was the bullish factor in corn.
There was good buying ut the opening. but
later the usual Saturday profit-takins
caused recession. The market closed with
slight advance.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Robert Edeson.

Robert Edeson will present tonight at the Jefferson theatre Augustus Thomas stage version of Soldiers of Fortune" by Richard Harding Davis.
 The story won for it's author, the nick name of "the American Kipling." The fact that it has been dramatized by MT. Thomas is sufficient guarantee that fl has lost none of the brightness and breeziness of atmosphere in its transfer to the stage. It deals with the adven- lures of young American engineer, Robert Clay, who through his connections with mining enterprise in d South Am erican republic becomes involved in a revolution and finally finds himself prac- tical dictator of the whole country and possessed of the love of Hope Langham, the daughter of the owner of the mines. The location affords opportunities for scenery of picturesque beauty and of these every advantage has been taken. MT. Edeson's performance of the cen- tral character established at once his right to rank as a star. Many we'll known players are in the supporting company.

LITTLE BOY WAS
 BRUISED AND CUT
SOUTH HIGHLANDS CAR STRUCK CRAWFORD eATTLEATHE MO- ToRMAN's oUlcKNEss PRE- VENTED FATAL RESULTS.

Crawford Battle, the 9-year-old son of w. A Battle, who lives at 17O5 Avenue N was struck by a South Highlands car near Five Points yesterday about 12:5O o'clock and severely bruised and cut The injuries are not serious. though the little boy will be confined to his home for some time.
 The car which struck the boy was No. 154 and was going north. The boy with other children. was playing in the street and he ran In front of the car when 1t was only a few feet from him. Motorman Bagwell put on the brakes at once and stopped the car before 1t had gone many feet, and in time to prevent the boy getting under the wheels.
 As soon as the car was stopped the child was placed in a buggy and driven home, where physicians attended him. Dr. J. c. LeGrande, the eompany's physician. went to the house. He stated last night that the child's right side was bruised considerably from his head almost to his knee There Is big cut on the right hip and the hip was burned by the elec- trcity. The right wrist is bruised and lacerated to some extent, and there are also some bruises on the right side of the head and the right shoulder.
 Had the car been running rapidly at the time 1t is almost certain the child would have been seriously injured and possibly killed. The quckness of the mo- torman in shutting off the car probably had something to do with saving the child's life.
