Free Ride Feature

For the rest of the week there will

everyone on the grounds will be en-

DISTRICT RAILWAY
BODY'S MEETING IS
CALLED OFF TODAY
Absence of Marble Necessi-
tates Postpone
/. ~, ment.

A regular meeting of the District Elec-
trio Railway Commission was called
for this afternoon, but on account of
the absence of Chairman Marble from
the city Is was announced that probably
none would be held this week. Not
much business awaits this particular
meeting, as the District body has for
warded to the Interstate Commerce
Commission nearly all the matters un-
der rec ent consideration.
The Tenleytown through car service
case Is an exception, but this only
awaits the filing of briefs before the
record goes to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1t Is not believed 1t will
take the District electric body long to
make up its Recommendation, for the
views OF Chairman Marble and former
Chairman West were pretty clearly OUT
lined at several sessions as in favor of
ordering car service.
Two street car questions, results on
which have been incubating for months,
are those of the height of car steps and
Of air in street cars. The District Elec-
trio Commission, after a lengthy study
of the car step matter, forwarded u
report to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, which has never acted on 1t,
although it received the recommended
ton several months ago. 1t Is said that
further investigation is likely to be or
6ered.
By the time the matter of air in street
cars during the winter months is re-
ported to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the question Is likely
to become acute once more. Last
winter many samples of air in cars
were taken by the District Electric
Commission and given to the District
Health Department for analysis. The
Health Department still has the sam
pes.
But one complaint of car service is
before the District Electric Commission
and this relates to the non-stopping of
cars at a newly cut street in the remote
northwest.

MELON AND FRUIT
OVER SUPPLY HURT
MARKET FOR FISH
General Decline In Prices
Noted in All
Varieties.

More watermelons, more fruit, and
more fish have all conspired to cause
a still greater decline in prices on the
finney tribe. Last weeks quotations
were the lowest in many moons, but
this week it's q case of worse and
more of II.
When Jersey trout dropped from $12
and 81 Ga barrel to 81 last week local
dealers thought It had about struck
the limit. But today they are SELL
ing at Sb. and the wholesalers are glad
to get II. Small trout are plentiful at
20, and some at an even smaller price.
The other varieties are holding UP
fairly well compared with the tremen-
dous slump In trout. Crokers are very
low, bringing only 50, but rock fish
Is holding its own at So and $s. Sea bass
has shown another drop. from cents to
8 cents, and bluefish is worth about
9 cents. Spots are worth 10 cents.
Soft crabs have risen little, bring
ing 10 cents today againt 30 and So cents
last week. Hard crabs continue at $l.50
a barrel. CLANS are the same as a week
ago-sO cents and Spanish mackerel
is steady at 10 cents. only cent lower
than last week.
Butterfish has dropped from to 8
cents, but sturgeon holds up to Il and
IS cents, being the only fish on the
market that has remained at a steady
price for the last month.
There Is no telling, the wholesalers
say, what turn the market will take
next or when 1t will take It. AS long
as the supply of melons and other fruit
continues, and there is fair weather on
the river and sea coast, prices WILL OF
course. remain low. But you never can
tell when a series Of storms are going
to beset the fisherman, and there Is also
possibility that infavorable weather
conditions may check the melon supply.
That's the reason the fish market is as
uncertain a proposition as a baseball
game. And that's the reason any pre-
diction for the future isn't worth very
much.
