PLENTY OF EGGS AND
FISH FOR LENTEN SEASON

Fresh eggs and fish are to he found in
the stores and market IN plentitude for
those who are observing Lent by total
abstinence from fresh meat.
The butcher is buying sparngly Of meat
just now and strange enough there seems
TO be an increase in the amount Of meats
to be had. The prices OF lamb and mutton
have jumped since Monday.
Prohting by the Lenten demands. deal
ers in eggs are letting them out at de-
creased prices. Last week the uniform
wholesale price was 35 cents a dozen.
THIS week they can be purchased for 2S
cents.

the market although the prices are yet
little high. shad from southern waters are
bringing 80 cents to $40 each. the latter
heing asked in many quarters for roe
shad.
