IN OPEN MARKETS
Cost Of Vegetables and Poultry
Is Less as More Farmers
Bring Produce.
FISH LEAD IN DECREASE
Spectators Try to Sell inferior
Foodstuffs, but Are
Stopped Quickly.

The city's four open markets produced
several gratifying reductions in prices
yesterday--in some vegetables and poul-
try--and attracted greater number OF
patrons in the way OF farmers and house
wives despite the fact that several defects
in operation became more apparent. steps
were taken Immediately by the officials
in charge of the markets to remedy these
defects. Renewed efforts also are being
made to get more farmers to bring their
produce to the markets.
The Fort Lee market and the Harlem
market were noticeably the most crowded.
For the first time since the markets we're
opened chickens were offered for sale at
Fort Lee. Fresh broilers sold for 22
cents pound and cold storage chickens
for 20 cents pound. Perhaps the cheap
est thing In sight was corn. which brought
II cents dozen for pretty good ears.
Other vegetables also showed marked re-
ductions from the previous days prices
and FISH dropped from ] to I cents a
pound. Sea bass fell 6 cents pound
from last weeks price.
Some OF the vegetable prices asked at
the Fort Lee market yesterday were

VIII Sell Herring,

The hope for more varieties OF farm
and other produce at the four markets
came nearer a reality in the announce
ment OF Health Commissioner Goldwater
that he had granted the necessary per
mission for the sale OF herring II they are
kept In covered containers. The market
committee also Is trying to make II pos
sible TO sell loose milk at the markets.
Several large dealers have offered to sell
milk at and cents a quart.

bers In all the markets yesterday not
enough bring their goods 10 the city's
free places TO satisfy the officials The
word yesterday from many Staten Island
farmers that they intend to sell their
goods Mt the markets to-day.
Persistent complaints were registered
yesterday that the free markets are being
used as dumping ground for inferior
goods. which could not be dispensed with
elsewhere Especially did this complaint
apply to canned goods. Health Commits
sioner Goldwater sad he would make an
investigation
II was also charged yesterday that
spectators and bogus farmers were eN.
plotting the people at the city's markets.
one alleged farmer was found who had
hired n farm truck and bought inferior
vegetables and stuff al one OF the old mar
kets and sold It at the free market
The need for butter, eggs, cheIs and
meats to be sold more extensively In the
free markets has become more apparent
II tn, city wants to get the housewives
to become regular patrons. No meats are
on sale as yet. but in order that meat
dealers and those handling other perish
able goods may sell their wares. the
Mayors committee has agreed 10 allow
them to construct stands in which to keep

AS RUTH SAW TT

Of course, little Ruth should have
been able to answer more precisely
when teacher asked her to describe
a frog. But she gave description
that at least is picturesque when she
replied:
"a frog, teacher, is a big green
bug with warts all over it. And it
keeps its mouth open all the time,
,and-and- it's always sitting
down behind and-and standing up
in 'front.'"

NAMING teddy

A 6-year-old had been given a large
Teddy bear as a birthday present. It
was a very fine bear, but had a pro-
noUnced squint.
: The owner was hard put to it to
find a name sufficiently descriptive
for her new toy. At last she solved
the difficulty to her own satisfaction,
and christened the animal Gladly"
Questioned as to the reason for
such an extraordinary name for
bear, she quoted as her authority the
line in a wen-known hymn, which
she rendered thus, Gladly, my cross
eye bearp'-Top-Notch.

DEFINING A FIEND

Some time ago a police officer
named Mike had two or three arrests
to his credit, and on the following
morning he appeared in the magis-
trate1s court to make the usual COM
plants.
"And this man here, officer" said
the magistrate, finally getting down
to a certain party, what is the
charge against him?"
"Sure, your honor" was the rath-
er surprising reply of Mike, ''he is a
camera fiend of the worrust koind."
"a camera fendp' hastily rejoined
the magistrate. you should not ar
rest a man simply because he has
a mania for taking pictures"
'Begora, an he wasn't takin pic
