On
The Market

Butter took slight rise In
wholesale price this morning OF
one cent. The retail price remain
ed the same, but it will no doubt
be increased to 55 cents within a
short time.
The lowly onion is now bring
ing real price to the grower.
During the summer onions were
one dollar a sack, now retailers
are paying $3.50 and there is a
prospect OF rise Of 25 and SO
cents. The onion growers associa-
ton contends that demands from
the east warrant the increase, but
whether or not the. merchants
here will accept the advance is
Z uncertain.
The new crop of black and
white California figs was receiv-
ed in a shipment this morning,
but have as yet not received dis
tribution. The wholesale price is
comparatively low, but the retail
is expected to be around 40 cents
a pound.
Corn is selling for 25 cents a
dozen ears. For canning purposes
It can be obtained for 20 cents
dozen In sack lots. Cucumbers are
bringing on an average of 30
cents a dozen.
The new crop Of strained honey
Is on the market for 35 cents a
pint. II Is very good and the price
seems reasonable when consider
ed with the supply.
Poultry is still scarce. No sup
ply is in sight. Unless farmers
visit the city today with generous
supplies. there will be many Sa-
lem tables go chickenless over

N opera. On every street, IN
every restaurant, in every home
,ragamuffins and maidens, matrons
and business men whistle the tunes
,of "Il Piccolo Marat." 1t is new
opera by Mascagni.
The composer is the idol Of the
hour, the god of the day, and it is
said that the theater where his
opera is playing has not witnessed
such scenes in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant. People say that
the good old times of Verdi are
back, that there is beauty in the
world again. On the opening night
of the opera the people shouted for
the composer until their Threats
cracked.
Mascagni and his company re-
ceived more than thirty curtain
calls; it was marvellous release of
the spirit and men spoke of it in
tears the next day. Now, months
afterwards, the house is sold out
every night, and people fight at the
box office for the chance to buy
tickets, pushing and showing and
hitting and biting and scheming for
tickets.
Tourists have reported that they
have paid as much as 1000 lire for
a ticket-not much in these days
Of delirious exchange, but enough
to make men talk. The music is
tuneful and easily remembered and
there is something new and bright
jim the lives of the Romans.
But the sophisticated music crit
les are sneering. They say that
unsteady speaking, "n Piccolo
Marat" doesn't amount to much.
Mascagni's music is poor and the
story of the opera is even worse.
What if the public does like it,
throw up it's hands, raise it's raucous
voice and call Mascagni forth thirty
times7 It is old stuff. 1t is in the
old manner.
Mascagni has not changed his
musical expression to suit the newer
ideas in the writing of operas. He
uses choruses and duets and arias
and no new arresting FORMS"
And while it is bound to be a popu-
lar stew it will never taste like
caviar to the cultured.
Perhaps the critics are right.
Sometimes they are. Perhaps Mas
cagni really has written piece of
musical trash. He has done that be-
fore, when even the critics and the
ragamuffins agreed on the condem-
nation. But it is also very likely
that many years after the moss has
covered the critics gravestones
flesh and blood will be thrilling to
the tunes of "Il Piccolo Marat."
Sometimes the public is right.
