FRESH VEGETABLES
AND FRUITS HIGHER
Strawberries lump Back to 40
Cents for Best Boxes Sent
Up From the South.
SPRING LAMB is EXPENSIVE
Farm Eggs Are Cheaper and
Storage Variety Is Selling at
Loss to the Dealers.

Scarcity of good stuff continues to
keep vegetables high in the market. and
the approach of spring causes a number
of staples to disappear from the mar
ket. Strawberries, which dropped last
week to 25 cents a box, were restored to
20 cents for best boxes this week. APP
pies jumped to so cents from so cents.
Malaga grapes. the only kind in the
market, are scarce. Hubbard squash
have gone. There may be some in the
market, but 1t is difficult to find,' the
dealers say.
d Spring lamb continues high at about
Sl2 to s14 each, and IS for hindquarters
and 81 for forequarters. The tendency
is to drop in this as the season ad-
vances and lambs become older. Butter
maintains Its former price. but eggs
have dropped to 80 cents for fresh laid,
right of the farm. The influx of new
eggs has done away with different
grades and only one kind is quoted.
Storage" eggs continue at % cents.
as people who want them in preference
10 fresh variety are willing to pay that
price. Dealers explain that packers are
probably losing cents a dozen at this
price and have no disposition to reduce
the price until compelled to do so.
The market will be open tomorrow,
''Washington's Birthday" all day and
until IL o'clock at night, as usual, to
supply the trade.
Following are the quotations for sta

MOVE FOR UTILITIES
BOARD IS ENDORSED
Federation Leaders Gratified
at Senate's Provision for
Creating Commission.

Leaders in the Federation of Citizens
Associations are gratified at the Sem
ate's action in including In the District
appropriation bill a provision for the
creation Of a public utilities commits
sion. Ever since the organization of
the federation .wo years ago, 1t has
been practically unanimous in its de-
mand for such a commission, and reso-
lutions declaring its sentiment have
been repeatedly passed.
The bill. as accepted in the Senate,
requires that the future bond and stock
issues of all public utilities operating
in the District by permission Of Con-
gress and under its control, shall be
vested, ratified, and confirmed bv the
Public Utilities Commission. Decisions
of this commission would be based on
public hearings at which citizens Of the
District would have an opportunity to
express their views. .... .-
The matter now goes to the conference
committee on District affairs. and II Is
hoped IL will then make its way to the
floor of the House. Its advocates be-
lieve there is little chance for its de-
feat in the House II It can be brought
to a vote. Not only the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, but many other
leading civic organizations have ex-
pressed their approval Of such a COM

FAIR ON MARCH 4,
OF COURSE, YET
Despite Promise of Suffrage
Leaders, Merchants Will
Have Umbrella Supply.

OF course, it's going to be beautiful

pens once every geenration, and it is
due this year. Besides. We have the
word of the suffragettes that the
weather is going to be perfectly lovely
Mrs. Helen NJ. Gardener and other suf-

that the whole machinery of the Ma
tional Women's Suffrage League is
leaves no room for doubt. But
Despite the imposibility of rain or
sleet or hail or snow or any of the
elements that were all mixed together
four years ago. there will be 10000 or
SO umbrellas for sale in Washington on
the 4th Of March.
Order Big Supplies.
Washington merchants have an idea
that the old-timer who said something
about history repeating itself was not
such a boob after all. and although
every merchant in town AYERS that it Is
his sincere conviction that the 4th of
March Is going to be a pretty day." all
the umbrella dealers have ordered big
supplies for the occasion.
At least three Washington stores will
have 1908 umbrellas each. They are ;.
Kann, Sons & Co. Saks & Co., and Lans-
burgh & Bro Isaac Cans. local man.
ager of Saks & Co. is one of the strong
est advocates of fair inauguration
weather. But he has bought 5000 or
more umbrellas, just the same. Other
stores are not going quite so strong.
There will be about 1000 in stock at
the Palais Royal. some 1000 at Hecht's.
about 1,000 at Woodward & Lothrop's.
the same number at Parker & Brid-
gets and little less than that number
at Garfinllle's.
Easy to Figure 100000.
In these eight department stores
alone there will be almost 5000 UNI
brellas, and when IL is remembered
that umbrellas are carried in stock By
almost every sort of store, drug stores,
mems furnishing stores, tewelry stores.
secondhand stores, and pawn shops. 1t
Is easily seen that the number of UNI
arellas on hand for Washington's Wis
itors, in case II should sprinkle a little
(for 1t couldn't possibly do anything
but sprinkle) will run far past the
00o00 mark -....
Umbrellas are not bad things to carry
In stock, even il they have to be car
ried a long time. They don't get shop
worn, they don't take up much room
and most important of all-they don't
change in style. The same umbrella
used twenty years ago. with new
cover on it. is perfectly proper today,
In the very best families. So, rain or
no rain on Inauguration day, the mer-
chants haven't lost anything except
some interest on their money And IL
It does rain-but that is impossible.
