southefn growers, increasing pro-
duction aid thus bringing down
the price.
The first . shipments Of berries
came from the extreme south and
high freight rates and scarcity kept
up the prices. Pint boxes placed on
the local markets early this week
sold for 40 cents but have since
dropped to % cents and may go
lower. No shipments of quart
boxes of northern berries have been
received but these will probably
sell at 45 cents q box, dealers be-
lieve. The berries are unusually
firm this season due to compara-
lively dry weather and from pres
emit indications will be plentiful.

 They accordingly boarded a train for New York City and after many delays the young lady received an addition before the late impressario, Oscar Fammerstein, who advised her to study by all means. So then and there, Papa Beale was forced to spend his evenings at the club while his fair daughter did the Mad Scene'' and the Shadow Song,' all over the house.
 After seven years of hard work. which none but singers can know, Miss BeaIe again boarded the train and came to the same city, this time to sing for three of the greatest men of music that this country has known namely G-uilio Gatti- Casazza, Cleo fonte Campannini and again MT.
