BOAT WAS LATE
Banana Cargo Sold at Low Figure from
:, II; :7.&~ ::a >. Necessity. '~ss@.. -:

=. Reports have gone out in regard to
the banana situation that are more than
likely to be misleading to the great bulk
Of northwestern jobbers. The price on
frst-class shipping fruit shows positive
ly no change from week ago. When
it is taken into consideration that the
freight rate from New Orleans is 68
cents per 100 pounds, it proves conclu-
sively that stock cannot be sold here at
so cents per 100 pounds. ...
The story afoat to the effect that
fruit was selling at that price was due
to the fact that one Of the boats car
rying bananas from Port Limon was
overdue twelve days and when port was
reached the cargo was naturally over
ripe. The banana trust, in an effort
to make some salvage, wired some large
houses Offering ripe fruit for immedi-
ate shipment f. O.. b. New Orleans, at
SO cents per 100, buyers risk. Two
or three cars Of this fruit is in Mime
apolis, but it is not selling at SO cents,
or even ST. per 100 pounds.
Bananas are more than likely to hold
firm, as a severe storm ruined the
Jamaica crop, from which district the
east usually depended for it's supplies.
One Of the largest Independent banana
handling companies was also wiped out
Of existence the day of the storm, their
fruit being entirely ruined.

MERRILL rs ASSURED >4o
\ COUNCIL PRESIDENCY

It is believed that the boom for
Harry. G. McLaskey for the presidency
of the council has fattened out, and
that the republican members will eau
Gus next Friday evening, as stipulated
in the call. One of the active support
ers Of the caucus scheme said this morn
ing that he had obtained twelve names
to the caucus agreement and that he eX-
pected to have the names Of the remain
ing six before midnight.
He moreover expressed the greatest
confidence in the election Of Alderman
A.. r.. Merrill as president, declaring
that, if the republicans would not make
it unanimous, several democrats would
help out. : - <e.5e = ~:
The four McLaskey adherents, altho
in position to make much trouble, I'M
doubtedly realize by this time that
there is nothing to gain by such remain
ing outside Of the fold, as they have
no chance whatever to land McLaskey
in the chair, on account Of the failure
Of the democrats to come to their sup
port. The chances are at the present
writing that Mr.. Merrill will obtain
twenty-six votes on the opening of the
city council, the democrats showing him
the compliment Of making no nomina-
tion. 8. .." ,s. -+,,-s<E -.

convinced that he had been robbed.

he went to bed he placed his purse con-
tanning $1,7S0 under the mattress. -

.DIsQBEYS Hollis ORDER
EMPIRE TIIEATER MANAGEMENT
d ABoLIsHEs ALL FEES AND
RUNS AS USUAL.

Despite the fact that Emil shafer,
manager of the Empire theater on
Washington avenue s, was ordered by
Judge Andrew Holt in police court yes
terday, to close his theater, pending the
action Of the supreme court in his APP
peal, the place was open as usual last
night. At 8 o clock the band took it's
position on the sidewalk in front Of the
place and played as. .joyously as tho
the manager OF the place had not been
fined 800 for conducting a theater
without a license. x z4,
!, Whether any change was made in the
interior arrangement of the place is un-
known. But considered from Judge
Holt's point Of y. view, whatever may
terfuge to avoid the law, which requires
the place to have a license.
The case is now up to the license in
spector, and it rests with him to say if
the order of the court requiring the
place to close will be enforced
It was explained this morning that
inasmuch as the charge for part of the
seats had been attacked, all fees had
been abolished This may give new
phase to the case.
