Snapper and Mullet
 In Fish Consignment
 Which Arriues Today

Fresh fish will come in from the gulf this morning, the Standard Fish company having carload of red snapper and mullet scheduled to ar rive. These two species of fish form the mainstay of the market at the present time. Fancy fish arc scarce with few trout all that are coming in.
 Maryland oysters will arrive in Bir- mingham for the first of the season about September 15, according to N S. Gordon of the Standard company. Shipments of New York Bartlett pears began arriving yesterday Sickle pears are expected to begin coming in about ten days from now Northern grapes will probably be placed on the market in the next three weeks. The grape crop of tho north is short this season, 1t is un- derstood. Late frosts and freezes are understood to have curtailed the out put considerably
 Potatoes are up slightly at the present, because the new crop has not yet come In. Shipments are expected in about month. Porto Rico yams have forced down the price of white sweet potatoes until there is little market for them,
 Practically no barrel apples, which distinguish the northern output from that of the west, will be sold in the south this season, according to Ed Jordan of Marshall, Jordan and Keith. Less than 10 per cent of the crop will be from the section east of the Mississippi river. This includes also the territory embraced by Arkansas. Missouri and other border states.
 The apple crop of this region was N,....l I. l.. j.. of late frosts came along accompan- trees were in bloom. MT Jordar stated. Farmers and growers lost interest after this reverse and Tailed to spray their fruit. As a result the apples left are of poor quality. Ore gon and Washington will supply the bulk of apples this year, he said. Ore gon apples are most desirable, he said, because they are grown in the hills. Market quotations
