the Supelbas have not been sue

has had since. and many of the
annual failures have been due or

There is no doubt that the Brook I
Ign club has had as strong a pitch
ing staff and certain individual
players that have been the bright
particular stars of the National
league. But lack of team work and
weakness in several positions have
held the team down outragcously
low compared with the splendid
nucleus the club had at Inc start

The natural conclusion to arrive

The first shipment of Virginia cabbage was received yesterday on Morris avenue and is selling well at Pc a pound. From now on shipments of cabbage will arrive daily. Tomatoes and other small varie- ties of vegetables are very scarce and will soon be off the market. Peaches cantaloupes and watermelons are plenti. full and are going well at the prevalllne low prices. Trading was very quiet with the produce dealers and no changes fir prices were reported.
 Poultry and eggs reported a fair trade Dry salt meats have a steady trade Grain merchants are receiving letters from their northern millers to the effect that they regret very much the low SUD- ply of old wheat, claiming that 1t is al- most impossible to secure it at any price And on account of the excessive rains in the wheat belt thrashing has been de- layed and they are unable to get in the new wheat. The grain merchants are op- timistic and predict plenty of new wheat in the near future.
