BALTIMORE PRODUCE.

BALTIMORE, Md, August 30
Prices on fresh eggs are held to a
firm basis. due, perhaps, more to the
comparative smallness Of the daily re-
ceipts than as a result of any real
life to the buying movement, although
in a small way there is more or less
constant demand for choice fresh
eggs. After advancing to 3S cents a
dozen the first part of the week native
and nearby eggs eased off toward the
end and the market closed at 81 cents.
Trade wants are being mostly supplied
with western and cold storage goods,
and only fancy eggs Will bring out
side quotations. For heavy, fat old
hens fairly good demand is noted at
26 to 27 cents pound, but with the
average receipts of fowls the move
ment ia not active at % and "a cents
and receipts ample. Spring chickens
have been fairly liberal this week,
and in consequence the market rules
a sh ade easier, with ,26 to 81 cents as
the range of prices, and white leg
horns "a to 26 cents. Old roosters
not wanted at Is and Is cents. Ducks
continue dull, particularly grades be-
low white pekins, which sell at %
and "a cents, while the others are
neglected at 18 to 22 cents. Young
guinea fowl one and a half pounds
and up find ready sale at IS cents
apiece. but pigeons are duh at 25
Maryland and Virginia watermelons
are arriving freely and are being
given preference over the southern
variety. Selects are bringing $40 to
ss5 per hundred. primes S. to SIS and
culls So to IS. The market for can

fed at 80 to so cents per AXIS basket
and SO cents to $1.25 per crate for
eastern shore stock. A few Maryland
and Virginia peaches are arriving and
meeting with ready sale, whereof
and $50 to s1.75 per AXIS basket
Pears are in fair demand with ex-
ception of the common hard variety,
which is slow sale at so to rs cents
Per AXIS basket; Bartletts bring 81 and
$1.25 and S!ckles 75c and 81. Grapes
fairly well at s1.25 and s1.5o per AXIS
basket. The apple market is easy,
and with the arrival of New York
varieties 1t takes large No. l stock to
bring \outside quotations OF $3.50 to
- per barrel and $3.50 to $3.50 per
bushei. No: stock sells at $3.50 to
So and $3.50 to $2. and are slow sale
at that. Small. knotty, windfallen
apples should not be shipped, as they
are worthless and will not bring
freight charges for shipment.
The potato market is flrmer under
fair receipts Of good No. 1 stock.
Movement this week has been fairly
good on both local and shipping or
ders, and top values Of $2.25 to s2.75
per 100 pounds and s1.75 to $1.90 per
bushel are more easily maintained.
No. stock in slow demand at $125
to $3.50 per 100 pounds, while No. 8
are hard to dispose of at 75 cents to 81.
Sweets and yams are in more lib
eral receipt and prices a shade lower,
the demand being only fair at $3.50
to $5 barrel and so to S5 cents per
4xS basket for the former and 81 to
$3.50 per barrel for the latter.
Native and nearby garden truck is
coming in freely, and, with the ex-
ception of tomatoes. which are selling
well at SO to 20 cents per 4xS basket
and $1.15 per bushel, values are easy
in buyers favor under only a fair
demand.

vestitute, its alIs-tar cast, sumptuous-
ness of settings, brilliance Of direc-
torial executions, richness of cos
tunes, quality Of story and general
artistry, this picture marks a distinct
epoch in screen production of the de
cade.
The story, written by Jeanie Mae
phcrson, and suggested by the famous
play by Arthur Schnitzler, deals with
AN inprcs4ionablc young man of
wealth who finds time to interest
himself in the affairs Of Others and
WHO learns by practical experience
that it pays best to attend to ones
own affairs and let others do the
same.
