The fish markets of the city
receive fresh fish every
morning and that which is
not sold during the day is
thrown away in the evening
and means a total loss to
them.
The housewife can be of
great help in retaining pres
ent prices and service by
ordering IN advance or pur-
chasing daily. This would
enable the storekeeper to
know how much fish to have
in stock.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Actual and
prospective regulation of commodity
prices has been the dominating factor
in many industries and in securities
markets, and in certain raw materials
and manufactured products decisive re-
adjustment has resulted from other
than official action. In contrast to the
former rapid and practically general
upturn, more recessions than advances
now appear in wholesale quotations
and the possibilities of further down
ward revisions enter largely into cal
culations.
Where continued yielding is fore.
Swallowed, either because of accumula-
lions of supplies or for different rea
sons, buyers are not disposed to oper
ate except at concessions by sellers
and where there is uncertainty as to
the changes to be effected, as in stee
and iron, new business Is still wait
ing.
Increasing caution in entering upor
forward engagements has become
more complex feature; yet the abate
ment of the rush to contract ahead a
almost any of the figures has made
the situation more wholesome and ]
is an indication that comparatively few
cancellations of orders are reported.

A lecturer of mathematical turn Q

A lecturer of mathematical turn OF
mind gives the following illustration
to carry a proper conception of what a
billion dollars really is: The treasury
experts will count 1000 silver dollars
in an hour and keep it up all day long,
but that is their limit. Working eight
hours a day, then, an expert counter
of coins will count $4,000 silver dollars
in a day, but how long will 1t take
him at that rate, to count a million
dollars? Thirty-one days. But that
is only the beginning Of the measure
ment of great figures, for If this same
man were to go on counting silver dol
lars at the same rate of speed for II
years he would find that he had onl!
