RUSHING BANANAS
INTO THE MARKET
FOUR AND a HALF MELLON
PUNCHES ARE CONSUMED
EACH YEAR BY NEW
YORK.
RECENT HIGH PRICES AFFECT
SALE OF MEAT-FISH cONTlN-
UES IN DEMAND-FRUiT
AND VEGETABLES
PLENTIFUL.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-New Yorll's
great markets are now green and yell
low with bananas. Scarcely day
passes that schooner doesn't land at
the downtown piers with a, load of
this fruit from Aspinwall, Jamaica or
st. Maria.
This is the great American banana
market, and the reports for the last
year show that 100000 punches were
received at this port. That means
about 90O,COO,UG0 bananas The pres
ent year promises to increase that
number. and yet the wholesale price
remains uniform. This is explained
by the fact that three dealers in Man
haitian have control of the importing
trade.
They will throw thousands of
lunches overheard before they will
glut the market so as to reduce the
price" said a dealer in Greenwich
street yesterday.
Bananas are now selling at whole
sale at S1.1O a bunch. and the con
sumer is paying from 30 TO so cents
4 dozen for them.
Meat prices are considerably lower
than 4 year ago Prime rib roast sells
at nineteen cents, sirloin steak the
same, pOrterhOuse two cents higher,
legs OF lamb fourteen cents. French
chops seventeen and coTned beef from
eight to fourteen cents.
There has been an apparent falling
off in the consumption of meat with
in the last TWO years, variOusly esti-
mated al from ten to twenty per cent.
Strike troubles with accompanying
high prices have been one cause.
When prices were very high many per
sons went without meat entirely, us
ing fish in its place. After learning
that they can do just as well with less
or little meat, they continue in that
way and are slow in returning to pre-
vious conditions.
Meat stalls are showing some ven
ison, which has not large demand,
Fresh saddles are selling at So cents
a pound, the frozen being 10 cents low
err. Whole deer, frozen sell from IS
cents to 20 cents. Frozen plover are
more lpentiful, the grass variety aver
aging 81 a dozen and golden $3.50.
A fine lot of 342 barrels of Malaga
grapes has just arrived by way of Liv-
erpool and will be sold at auction TO-
day. The supply of fruits and vege-
tables continues at the maximum, with
no great change in prices. There is
now great supply Of Pacific coast
plums for sale at S2.75 box.

GREAT DROUGHT IN
HEART OF EUROPE.
Bohemia and Moravia Suffering and
the E!be So Low That Vessels
Are Unable to Move.

BOSTON, Sept. ia report to the
American Board from the Rev. J. S.
Porter. its missionary in Schemmel.
Bohemia, states that the whole heart
of Europe, particularly Bohemia and
Moravia, is suffering from the most
severe drought within the memory of
any one living. Potatoes and many
other crops are 4 failure. The sugar
beet crops are SO light that many
sugar factories will not be opened this
year. Flour has increased from thirty
hellers to forty hellers per kilogram.
and milk has increased in price. For
est fires are of frequent occurrence.
The Elbe is SO low that for six
weeks no steamers have been able to
move, and in many places one can
wade across the river. Considerable
long lost treasure is found in the river
bottom. Near Bodenbach, in the Elbe,
rock has been uncovered which
bears the Inscription in German, dat
ing back to 1900: when you see me
then weep" Mills and factories stand
idle, and thousands who usually find
employment on all sorts of boats on
the Elbe are now out Of work.
