BRIDGEPORT MARKET
 REPORT
Market Guide for Bridgeport
 Consumers.
RridPannrt- Iulv 2

Bridgeport, July 2, 1919.
 Abundant Lettuce, new beetS, carrots, cantaIoupes, potatoes, green beans.
 Moderate Bananas, lemons, oranges, cabbage, rhubarb, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers.
 Scarce-Celery, pineapples, aspara- gus, strawberries, peas.
 Crops Respond to Rain.
 A liberal quantity of water has a beneficial effect on plants, people and pocketbooks. Local vegetables derived benefit from recent rains to the extent that growers have been able to harvest a heavier supply of string beans during the past few days. The quality of the lettuce has shown a general improvement and large heads of the Big Boston va riety sold to retailers at 4 to 6H cents a head on the Farmers Market this morning. Many growers report that they are picking the last of their peas and this week will about finish the harvesting of this favorite vegetable.
 The strawberry season is practi- cally over although a very limited supply will probably be available for a few more days. The drought short ened the strawberry season and caus- ed considerable loss to local growers in spite of the fact that high prices were maintained throughout the sea- son. Raspberries are becoming more plentiful. Although most of them are now coming from New York State, local growers are now sending in the first of their pickings.
 The following are wholesale prices. The consumers should ex- pect to pay from 20 to 40 per cent. above these prices to cover the re- tailers cost of doing business and his legitimate profits.

Birthday Bio-Briefs
 Famous Women

The death of the French Princess, Magdalen, consort of James V. of Scotland, is a. sad story. The young monarch had gone to France in the summer of 1856 to visit the daughter of the Due De Vendone, with a. view to marriage. But she did not take kindly to him and so he turned his thoughts toward winning the daugh- ter of the French King, Francis I. The latter received him warmly and took him to the royal catsle near Lyons. Magdalen was very delicate in health. She had to be carried about in a chariot when the other ladies rode horseback But she fell deeply in love with the King of Scotland, and despite counsels on both sides, the two were wed. They were married on Jan. 1, 1537, amid great pomp and re- joicing and celebrations throughout France. With his young and beauti- full bride and richly laden with gifts the young Scotch monarch Aset sail for his own country. He landed at Leitl, and the young queen. full of love for her husband and his country, kne1t upon the shore, took up a handful of sand, and. kissing it, invoked Gods blessing upon Scotland" She was re- ceived in Edinburgh with a great dis play of affection on the part of the people. But she was doomed to die soon after her arrival. Forty days after setting her foot upon Scotland s shore she died in her husbands arms. She was genuinely mourned through out the country, and her death, it was said, was the first occasion for a gen. eral mourning throughout the land.

MANY LETTERS

Post office officials were advised to- day of large number of letters re- ceived at Australia from the United States with insufficient postage stamps. Such articles of mail are either returned to senders or a dou- lble rate on shortage of postage charged to addressee, thereby causing much inconvenience and delay There are a number of European countries where mail can be sent to at the do- mestic rate as the result of an agree ment with those countries. When sending letters to European countries it would be advisa ble to make in quiries at the post office as to postage required.

MUSICAL CLUB < WILL PRESENT
 LETz QUARTET

Tho Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club announces the engagement of the Letz Quartet to appear before the club on October 22, of this year in the first artists concert of the season. The quartet is composed of Hans Letz, first violin; Sandor Har- mati, second violin; Edward Kreiner, violin, and Gerald Maas, cello.
 Every one of the members of the quartet have won unusual recogni- ton IS artists on their respective in- struments in Europe as well as in America. MT. Letz, the founder, played with the Kneisels during the concluding years of that organiza- ton.
 The Outlook, of New York Feb. 5, 1919, writes as follows on comment-i ing on the work of the quartet: It is reassuring to notice that a cham Der music organization of the finest standards and achievements = the Letz String Quartet = has recently come into existence without any blowing of trumpets, basing it's claim to attention simply on solid musician ship, fine artistic feeling, careful preparation of concerts and unas- suming but steadfast loyalty to the best.
 "In a sense it may be regarded as the natural successor of the Kneise1 Quartet, but it is it's successor in the deeper sense that it has remained true to the standards 1t set American Chamber music at a time when we had fewer groups of high attain ments and less established tradition than we have now'

The music for a dancing party may be whatever the hostess herself pre- fers or is best able to provide. For a small dance a piano often sufices, but if 1t is accompanied by a harp and two violins, or by a banjo and guitar. a better effect is secured At handsome and fashionable balls a full stringed orchestra is employed

STAMFORD
Special to The Times.)

fStratford, July 2.---A number of condensed milk cases falling and making a sort of bridge over the body 'of Gordon Beardsley, son of MT. and Mrs. Evert Beardsley, Linden avenue, was all that saved the young man from serious injury yesterday after noon when a part of the old ice house in the rear of some of the buildings at the center caved in. The ice house which is two stories. high and which had been used, for the past two weeks in storing of grocery goods of the, At lantic and Pacific store has been in . dilapidated condition for some time but no one considered that it might cave in which it did yesterday.
 Gordon Beardsley was found shortly after the caving in of the building by William O'Iara, the manager of the store, who went to look for his clerk who had gone to the old ice house to get some articles needed for sale in the store. The young man had man. aged to crawl from beneath the boxes that had bridSed him over and was sitting on a barrel, white as a sheet, thinking over the narrow escape he had from perhaps something worse than serious injury.
 Owing to the danger of the building collapstng it was necessary for MT. OHara to remove all of his goods rom the Ofd house ana to store them in another building finally secured by Harold Lowell from whom the A. and P. people rent. ss9zl
 The store which is rented by the grocery people was moved last night from next to the post office across the street where it will remain until the new Lowell building is erected. Principal of the Stratford high school and Mrs. w. w. Rogers left town yesterday for Buffalo, N V where they are to spend a few days with relative The balance of tho summer vacation is to be. spent by MT. and Mrs. Rogers at a. cottage on New York.
