all gone. However. cheering reports that
the railroads are getting in shape again

tailers were buying the 1902 vintage at s5
cents a bushel and selling them for 80 cents
a peck. OF new potatoes from the south
there has been almost a total lack this
week. There are only a few tomatoes on
the market and the strawberry supply is
still short, owing to the railway Interrupt
