 A great big bearded man calls over the boys names. while the great joints are being carved on a third table in the corner by the old verger and the housekeepeE.
 The boys whisper and nudge. steal one another's bread, shoot bread pel- lets and dig their forks through the a hearty dinner before the big man calls, Stand upi and says grace.

GOOD WEEK IN THE MARKETS
Quiet at Outset, but Finishes
Strongly More Fish Ar
riVeS Here.

The past week ended strongly in the re-
tail markets. The first few days were
quiet, but towards the end the merchants
noticed a general strengthening in all
lines. Fish markets have been unusual
ly busy during the past week. Salmon
and halibut have been leading sellers.
The first remains at 1713 cents per pound.
Hallbut, although scarce, has been firm
at Is cents per pound. Striped bass
climbed to 221a cents early in the week
and remained at that advanced quota
ton. Supplies have been regular but small
hence the favorite varieties of finny del
icacies have been scarce and offered at
stiff quotations.
Bananas drol ped TO 20 cents per dozen
yesterday. The sudden cold wave threat
ened to nip the delicate fruit. Many deal
ere did not care to run a risk of having
1t spoiled upon their hands. Others had
limited supplies of bananas which they
were not DESTROYS of holding over Sun
day. As a result prices took a tumble.
Vegetables were firm during the week.
CucumberS and rhubarb were the leading
sellers, as they were entirely new offer
ings. Rhubarb Jumped into instant de-
mand at 20 cents per pound. Brussels
sprouts at 10 cents per pound "a drop of
cents off former prices were in good
demand. Green onions, California celery,
and Utah cabbage were other inviting
offerings displayed in the vegetable mar
kets.
Many persons tasted buffalo meat dur
ing the week. A whole carcass was cut
into steaks and roasts. Buffalo meat at
20 and Is cents per pound formed the only
offering of note in the meat markets.
