MARKET. NOTES.

The products of the orchard and
vineyard were very much in evidence
on Western Avenue last week and in
fact the receipts were so heavy that
fruit commission men were longing for
the cessation of activities in this line.
Peaches in abundance were piled in
front of every house from one end Of
the street to the other, and as re-
ceipts went up the price went down
until quotations were as low as 35 and
40 cents, an unusual price for this
market. The quality has been good
and at the unusually low prices there
has been a good demand for fruit for
canning.
There appears to be some difference
of opinion on the street as to whether
the consumption of peaches for can
ming has increased in proportion to
the lowering of price. Some of the
dealers contend that there is a GER
tain amount used in this way every
season, and considering the increase
in population, they do not think that
the low prices have moved as large
quantity as should be expected. Others
take the opposite view and state that
before for canning are buying liber.
ally this season at the low prices.
Watermelons have also been plenti-
full with practically no demand. One
dealer remarked that the boys would
not even steal the watermelons left
on the street, and the demand for can
taloupes appears to be but little
stronger. Some good consignments of
tomatoes were seen last week, quota
lions being from 80 to 40 cents per
crate.
California has furnished some good
grapes, Black Prince selling at rs cents
per box the past week.
At least one dealer has good cause
for complaint against the railroad. He
went to Wenatchee last week and pur-
chased several cars of fruit, which
were five days on the road to Seattle.
Since this is only about seven hour
run, he naturally feels that it would
have been possible for the railroad to
make a little better time with goods
of this class.
The Alaska trade has been good and
several large shipments have recently
been made to the interior. The local
dealers are we'll pleased with the busi-
ness from this direction and believe
that it will continue.
number of Western Avenue firms
have also been busy with government
orders.
The only dealers who are looking
for more produce are the poultry and
butter and egg men, The poultry deal
ers can use more spring chickens, and
one dealer who is making large ship
ments to Alaska says that he could use
from fifteen to twenty more crates of
hens every week, this class Of fowl
standing the long trip better than the
springs.
A scarcity of local ranch eggs was
reported last week, but prices on bue-
ter and eggs have remained steady.

A school man, speaking at a recent
educational convention in Cleveland
of children's logic, said that one day
he overheard his two small children,
Mary, the child of his first wife, and
Robert, child of his second wife, dis
cussing their relationship. Said Mary:
"And if mama should die, and papa
should marry again, and there should
be another boy or girl, what relatives
would they be to us"
Robert puzzled over the question a
minute, then said:
"Well, think it's dads turn to die
next"

WHALING IN AFRICAN WATERS.
Company Formed Thinks There 10
Money to Be Made.

A company, with head Offices at
Sandefjord, Norway, has been formed
with the object of exploiting the whal.
ing grounds adjacent to the South AZ
rican coast
Briefly, the plan is to use two small
whaling steamers which have been
acquired by the company and, max
ing Durham the base of operations, to
scour the coastwise waters and as
soon as a whale is taken to tow the
body into the harbor, where the work
Of extraction will be done. BY this
means It is said that saving OF time
is effected and the process Of reduc-
ton is facilitated.
1t is claimed that these steam
whalers are able to take all kinds of
whales with comparative immunity
from risk, as the explosive harpoon is
fired directly froe the steamer, and
the danger of pursuing to FISH" in
small boats is obviated
There are large numbers of whales
near this coast, and there seems to be
a fair prospect Of success for small
company run on the most economical
lines. The capital of the company is
$4,000, and shares to the full amount
have been taken in Natal and Norway,
