PAST WEEK QUIET
IN RETAIL MARKET
EGGS ARE SOMEWHAT CHEAPER,
BUT OTHERWISE PRICES ARE
NOT MATERIALLY CHANGED.
FISH MARKET SLACK.

The past week has been a comparatively
quiet one in the local retail market Al
though not as inactive as was the case
last week. the market is not yet up to its
usual condition. This is attributed TO no
one special cause, but local retail dealers
state that a slack market always follows
the Christmas holidays.
one of the most noticeable changes in
prices is in the price of eggs. Eggs. dur
ing the holidays. were selling at from 30
to 40 cents per dozen. They have now
dropped to 80 cents per dozen for the fresh
guaranteed candled stock Cold storage
eggs can be had for % cents per dozen.
Chickens are unchanged in price and more
plentiful than last week. Butter is still
selling for IS cents per pound for the best
creamery grade.
Game Is scarce with the exception of
few rabbits and quail,
Vegetables In season are abundant at
moderate prices. Lettuce and celery are OF
good quality and selling for 10 and Is
cents per head or stalk, respectively.
Greens, parsley and Florida vegetables of
other kinds are also IN good demand.
The past week has not been a good one
In the fish market. This, however. is at
trlbuted to the warm weather which has
been prevalent. Prices are unchanged,
ranging from 121a to 25 cents per pound,
according to the variety OF fish. Oysters
have been small, but the demand has
been steady at rs cents per hundred for
selects.

Fiske OHara. the new Irish singing
star being introduced to the play-goers
at the Bijou by Charles E. Blaney, the
we'll known playwright, is a distinct nov
city, inasmuch as he sings songs that
no other actor or star can sing, for he
writes them all himself and they are in
troduced for the first time in his Irish
drama, Mr.. Blarney From Ireland
written for him by Mr.. Blaney. The play
is a novelty. introducing a singing Irish
star in a four-act comedy drama, all the
scenes of which are laid in and around
New York Mr.. O'IIara, in composing his
songs, wrote of love, of the memories of
mother, songs for little ones and comedy

popular for years to come is sung by
him to the heroine and is entitled Sun

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

tat - reply to objections against the &C.
clesiastical domination which prevails
in Utah, the Srnoot organ cites the case
of n Methodist minister in Chicago. the
Rev. William A. Quayle. 1T seems from
the Smoot mouth that this minister
has issued ''a strong letter. against
the reelection Of Mayor Dunno. This
is held to be an equivalent to "tho
Utah proposition.'|
Not quite, however. it lacks power.
It lacks the viudictivc fcrocity that is
exercised in Utah There is no evidence
such dominance over the people of Chi

comprised in his flock, that he can and
will enforce his views upon them, at
their peril. He cannot excommuDicate

in this matter He cannot boycott him,
nor ostracisc him socially. He cannot
make it so hot for him that the dis
obedient one must leave Chicago. He
cannot turn his own family against
him, and make his neighbors turn away
their heads when they meet him. He
cannot ruin him in this world and damn
him in the next.
Until ministers of the various de-
