Consolidated Gas Company was made by Joseph

the gas consumers. especially interested in the
litigation.
The matter comes before the Court OF Appeals
on a certificate from the Appellate Division TO
determine whether the Supreme Court has juris

NEWS OF THE MARKETS.
Eggs, Butter and Game Are Higher-Ths
Grape at Its Best

The markets are just between seasons at this
present time. The first wealth OF Septennber
has passed. and nothing has came as yet TO
take its place. The hens are moulting making
eggs scarce and high. There is little in the line
OF poultry except a few roasting chickens. which
are not very big yet. and the only fruit which
is at It's best is the grape. This is an unusually
good year for grapes. although a rather bad ono
for most other fruits. and they are now at their
cheapest The price in Washington Market yes
terday for COncOrds. DelawaEes and Niagaras
was Is cents for a two and a half pound basket,
and for Tokays and DIalagas 40 cents for a six-
pound basket.
Apples are rather high at s. cents basket,
and state Bartlett pears are 90 cents basket
Pears are plentiful Of their kind but there is a
scarcity OF the better varieties. Peaches ars
getting scarce. and the Colorado varieties re
the best. Pineapples are scarce and rather small.
and the larger ones bring good prices Canta-
loupes are very good. and will remain at high
water mark for about three weeks longer They
sold at ten cents apiece. Tomatoes are good and
cheap. and lemons higher and not good
California grapefruit is It's best
Green corn is stiu in prime condition owing
10 the favorable weather. and sells at 80 cents
a dozen. CauIifower is very nice. at from Is to

90 cents a bunch Green peas are coming in

sweet potatoes are 30 cents for the same guam
tity Chestnuts came in last week. It has been
a good year for them, and they are selling at
20 cents a half pound.
Game Is higher than it has been within the
memory OF man. and much higher than IL was
last year. Grouse. for instance, were 50 a pair
last year and partridges So 20 Now both have
gone I'D a dollar This is due 70 the strict en-

II comes from only few states.
Eggs and butter are both high, and are going
higher New laid eggs were quoted at from
60 10 81 cents in the market yesterday, abouk
four cents more than last year at the time
Good tub butter from % TO 30 cents. and
print butter from 30 TO 80 cents This Is an
advance Of about two cents over last year. The
scarcity OF butter is attributed partly 20 the fact
that so many people have gone out OF the dairy
