New Potatoes Arrive.

Tacoma = New potatoes of the best
quality the local market has seen for
years, according to commission men,
rolled in Thursday for the first time
this season. The new tubers, which
are red, went out wholesale at 81 cents
pound in lug boxes and found an in
slant market. Regular shipments will
be received from now on and as re-
ceipts increase prices will decline, say
merchants.
Celery is about through for the sea-
son, it is reported. The vegetable is
quoted at S5.75 a crate. Radishes
telephone peas, artichokes, asparagus
and lettuce arrived by steamer and
went out quickly. The demand fol
green stuff increases daily.
Apples continue to sell good Wine
saps are the most popular variety here,
wholesaling from S1.25 to $1.65 box,
Meats and poultry are firmer.

No Change in Butter Expected.

Tacoma-Butter is firm and dealers
do not look for decline for two weeks
yet. The market of the Pacific Coast
is reported to be unchanged Receipts
of butter are none too large. Eggs
are arriving plentifully and the mar
ket is steady. Cheese is unchanged
and the demand is light.
The fish market is well supplied
with various kinds of fish with the ex-
ception of salmon. Since the season
opened on salmon fairly good catches
have been made by sportsmen on the
Narrows and on Puget Sound The
fish, however, are not running in large
enough schools to warrant fishing boats
to go after them, according to dealers.

5000 N ANTI CATHOLIC RIOT

Haverhill, Mass.-The local COM
pany of state militia was called upon
by Mayor Albert l.. Bartlett Tuesday
night to assist the police in controlling
a crowd of 5000 persons concerned in
riotous demonstration in the vicinity
of the city hall. Many windows were
broken by missiles.
The crowd assembled as the result
of an attempt to hold the meeting in
the city hall for discussion of state aid
for sectarian schools. The meeting
was regarded as anti-Catholic. Thorn
as E. Leyden, of Somerville, who was
announced as former Roman Catholic
priest, had been advertised as the
speaker. When the hour for the meet
ing arrived the crowd in front of the
hall was so dense that the police decid-
ed that the meeting could not be held
and the doors were closed.
For several hours the crowd, in
creased in size by curious citizens,
