increased It costs the company more
TO give service TO subscriber where
there are 11-Ao0 telephones. as there

THREE-DAY HOLIDAY IS
HARD ON PERlSHABLES
Baltimore Market Receipts But
Little Less Than Normal-Quo-
tations on Produce.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 5.-Not-
withstanding that shippers were
warned not to ship any perishable
stuff this week that would arrive yes
terday or today. owing to the three
day holiday. which took quite num-
her of people out Of town, the produce
market this morning showed almost
the same receipts as on any other
Saturday, and consequently lots Of
perishable goods had to be sacrificed
70 avoid a total loss on the same by
Monday. The market Is somewhat
demoralixed today. with prices mat
ter of conjecture, for the most part,
the coming week. The season for
old potatoes is practically over ana
quotations are merely nominal New
potatoes are not as strong as they
were earlier in the week, with re-
ceipts fully ample for trade wants,
and the tendency OF the market next
week probably will be downward for
first-ciass stock. Mixed seconds and
culls had to be sharply discounted
this week.
While asparagus has held up In
price, the season is nearly over and
but few more shipments are expected.
The demand now is very light Cab
bage and new onions are plentiful
and the tendency of the market for
these and other summer vegetables
will be lower.
There is wide range In tho size
and quality of the early harvest ap-
responding variation. Early peaches
are mostly Of ordinary quality and
therefore range low. but blackberries,
EAaDberries- nd hnck leberEi4oL- where

they are arrive in nice, dry condition,
meet with a ready sale at good prices.
The live poultry market has ruled
fairly firm this week on desirable fat
springers. and receipts have kept
closely cleaned up from day to day,
chickens and white leghorns. Spring
ducks also are in ample supply. and
only choice. large ducks will bring
full quotations Small, understood
ducks are hard to move.
In the egg market 1t Is entirely a
matter of quality and condition of
the stock as to what they will bring
and how readily they car be sold.
For choice. fresh eggs there is a fair
ly good demand, while held, stale
and otherwise questionable stock is
hard to move even when offered
down.
Beef cattle receipts are fair at the
stockyards, while wharf receipts are
light, with a fair demand and prices
well sustained. Choice fat sheep are
in fair request. For fat. heavyweight
veal calves there is a good and con-
slant demand. but big. rough. heavy
calves have to be sharply discounted.
The demand for live pigs is quiet and
the general market under this head
is dull and featureless.
The demand for all grades of hay
continues quiet, in consequence Of
which the supply offering is more
than ample for trade wants under a
downward tendency in price. The
near approach Of the general moye-
ment of new hay is making the trade
pursue a rather reserved policy.
The business passing in straw is
mainly of 5obbing character. and
1t therefore takes comparatively little
straw to satisfy trade wants. Offer
ings Of wheat blocks are in excess
Of present requirements.
