COST OF PULLMAN
TRAVEL INCREASED

New York, Feb. 6.-On March l, a
new and higher rate for Pullman com
partments and drawing rooms, occu-
pied exclusively by one person will go
into effect, unless objection is raised
by the interstate commerce commits
sion Notice of the new tariff adopted
by practically every railroad in the
United States has been filed with the
commission.
Instead of charging a single railroad
fare and single drawing room fare
as heretofore, the roads will charge for
exclusive use of drawing room by
one person double TIE railroad fare
plus single drawing room fare; and
for Pullman compartments for the ex-
elusive use of one traveller the present
charge of one railroad fare plus the
compartment fare will be increased to
one and a half railroad fare plus the
present compartment fare.
For long trips, this will involve a
very considerable increase in expendi-
ture per passenger.

EGGS TAKE DROP
BUT RISE AGAIN
SPRING-LIkE WEATHER BRINGS A
DROP IN PRICES, BUT NOT
FOR LONG.

For two days this week, when spring
seemed so close at hand, the hen got
into the spirit of things and furnished
eggs at rate which induced dealers
to sell them at Q nickel cheaper on the
dozen. The weather man failed to
make his illusion lasting proposition,
however, and coincident with the cold
weather that followed, the queen of the
barnyard went back into seclusion
and her product again took on that
35 cent look.
With the exception of cabbage and
beets, no changes have been made
recently in the vegetable prices. Cab
bage raised one cent during the past
week. bringing the price to five cents
per pound. Beets also raised, from SC
to TIC per bunch.
Oranges remain at the same prices,
ranging from zoe to soc per dozen.
Lemons are soc and bananas zoe and
Csc. Grape fruit may be bought for
10c and 15c; Malaga grapes are selling
for Csc per pound.
In the vegetable list the potatoes are
still at prices ranging from $1.10 to
$1.35 a bushel. Winter onions are 4c
pound and the white Bermuda on
ions TIC. New turnips and carrots
remain at &c per pound, while parnsips
and sweet potatoes are sc. Among the
less common vegetables are endive at
10c bunch; egg plants at 15c each,
BRUSSELS sprouts at SOC a box; water

COMPLAINTS RECEIVED FROM
LATIN COUNTRIES BECAUSE

Postmaster c. w. McCarty has re-
ceived a bulletin from the second as.
sistant postmaster general in which
the attention of everyone is called to
the fact that great deal of trouble
Is caused because of shortage in post

Recently hundreds of complaints
have been received by the department

that when the postage is short the one
receiving the mail article is required
to pay a double rate.
The bulletin states that it should be
pointed out that the only foreign coun.
tries to which the two cent rate ap.
plies are: Canada, Mexico, The Repub-

England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and
