other members of the expedition to
come out and watch the Eskimo. He
was sticking some forked poles into

wire on top of them. He next held
one end of the wire to his mouth and
talked to 1t at the top of his voice
Then he hurried to the other end and
held the wire to his ear. expecting TO

he failed to hear any sound he looked

quantity OF each Of these that has been
offered, provided it was properly as
sorted and packed. This proviso seems
to be the one and only reason why
home grown products are not in de-
mand.
The drouth has played havoc with
fruits and vegetables, and there are
practically none coming in from the
country now.
Up to about three weeks ago there
was good supply OF Irish potatoes,
which were readily taken at 75 cents
to $1.00 per bushel, but none are COM
ing in now. Dealers say that If condi-
tions are such as to make 1t practicable
there will be good money in a fall
crop.
Sweet potatoes are scarce and high.
The favorite variety is the Dooley,
which would readily sell now for $1.25
per bushel. The Vineless is really a
better potato, but it is not in demand
Early tomatoes brought 40 cents per
dozen, but before the drouth cut short
the crop the price had dropped to N15
cents per dozen. There was the same
complaint of careless sorting and pack
ing as in the case of fruits.
There was a good supply of home
grown onions until recently, and the
quality was all that could be desired,
but none have been brought in in the
