PEACH CROP WAS SHORT

This has been a prosperous season with the Morris avenue produce brokers. In nearly all lines of produce the supply has been sufficient prices good and sales brisk.
 The peach crop is extremely short. The season is now almost over. The crop was generally estimated by conservative dealers to be one-third below an aver age, but now the crop Is estimated by some to be less than two-thirds When peaches first came on the local market the supply was very fair, and though sales at all times were snarp the demand was met. One dealer last week handled two carload consignments which is rather unusual in the Morris avenue peach trade. But the season was very short and today, decidedly the best portion of the crop has been disposed of. The ex- tremely late spring frosts are responsible for the blighted peach ordchards of Ala bama and Georgia The excessive rain in the ripening season caused the fruit to decay and fall from the trees.

The warm, rainy summer was very fa- vorable for all vegetable growth, and caused all gardens and truck patches in the community to produce bountifully. The natural sequence was a home sup piled vegetable trade, hence the vegetable business on Morris avenue has been quiet for some time. Now Virginia grown cab bage. and other foreign grown staples are coming on the street, and business will soon be given a new impetus. At present the demand is active for string beans okra, tomatoes and similar pro- ducts.
 This city consumes large supply of poultry and eggs. The market just now Is good for poultry, and a. very choice stock Is on the avenue. The egg demand is also brisk and prices jumped two cents on the dozen yesterday.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-08-02
Apples Coming.

Apples are coming on the street in very fair supply. The crop Is reported short, especially the southern growth. The orchards of the north will probably produce close to an average harvest, however.
 This has been a wonderfully fine melon season Watermelons have come on the local market by the train load. They have been of very choice variety, and the prices moderate Twenty-Five cents would buy fifty or sixty pounds of lus- cious, juicy, read-fneated melon. Canta- loupes, too. have been quite abundant.

landers' Statement.

 "The undersigned begs to state that the above announcement, referring to the one issued by the Montgomery board of health. need not give rise to any msap- prehension on the part of the people of Montgomery or of the state.
 "The steps taken to prevent any spread from this case arc scientifically correct, and it is believed will prove adequate. No reason whatever exists for the declar- ation of quarantine against Montgomery on account of the case above reported.
 'W. II. SANDERS.
 "State Health Officer" All of those communicated with last night stated that they placed absolute confidence in pr. Sanders, and that they could depend on him to give them timely warning were 1t advisable to quarantine against Montgomery They said that his official statement showed that there was no cause for alarm and that there was no fear of the disease spreading in Mont gomery or reaching Birmingham from that city.

Mayor Ward when notified, said

 B. Frank Voc, chief inspector, came down town when notified of the case in Montgomery, and attempted to reach pr. Sanders over the long-distance telephone It was impossible to get connection with Dr. Sanders, and so Mir Toe took 1io ac- tion in the matter. He said that he would not issue any instructions or take any steps regarding quarantine until he had heard from Dr. Sanders.
 pr. Jordan issued the call for the meet ing this morning and made the following statement:
 "The Jefferson County Medical society will of course take a much more active hand in the matter now. l do not know what action will be taken regarding a quarantine, as of course none of us would act under the circumstances until a meeting of the society had been held"

The Cat,

A little English girl wrote the fol.
lowing essay on cat: 1.-THE cat is a
square quadruped, and, as is custom
airy with square quadrupeds, has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
it on the back. If it is very much
pleased it sets up its tail quite stiff
like ruler, so that your hand cannot
get any farther. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country II
seldom needs them all because OF

barrasSed by mfavora,le difficulties.

Nevertheless investigation Of the sub
icct goes to show that the mackerel, IL
not the champion racer of the brlny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying OH
the honors Unquestionably it travels
sometimes as fast as an express tram
at high speed-say, at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by fish of great size, such as
thirty foot sharl; when travelling 1T
its best gait, is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum of energy in a minimum OF
bulk, utilzes about 200 horsepower
OF course it is only guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa

be s@id that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers. as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their lv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.

SUPPOSED DEPOT
ROBBER ARRESTED

Special Officer Ben Williams Of the
Santa Fee and Depot Master Wells
made an important capture Saturday
evening at Albuquerque. when they
took into custody a man giving his
name as c. d. Roper, wanted for rob
bling the Santa Fe ticket office at
Ration, OF tickets valued at $1,000. The
robbery occurred on last Wednesday.
Roper went to Albuquerque last week
with a gang Of painters working for
the railway company, He was EN-
ployed In painting the local station,
and It Is presumed that he gained ad.
mission to the Ration office while en-.
gagged In painting the interior OF the
station al that point.
A search Of Roper's grip at the
time he was arrested developed the
fact that It contained the missing
tickets and this was deemed sufficient
evidence on which to take him back
to Ration.
