NEW POTATOES COMING DOWN I.mt Yenr'a Crop Advancing in Frio, While JTew Product la flttlnr Mora nenonmb1 Hot ter 2XaJta AATsncd Strawberries are abundant on the mar kets now and are relllng two quart boxes for a quarter. Ttitj have arrived in !anre quantities from Arkansas and are of rood quality. FJneapples, now that the demand has crown, have Jumped TC cents a case. This has raised the retail price of this fruit 3'4 cents apiece. Pineapples that were rolling at a dime are now selling: at 1214 cents, or two for a quarter.

Butter Is up a cent on the Klein market and has gone up a cent on the retail market This makes the best creamery 53 cents Instead of 28, as it has been.

"M ssay tmvei tattea an4 miles through istswt fletefl and. nowhere will you see a best sot. The fields appear to be In perfect condition.

"The range was never better and the animals are taking on flesh in fine shape my everywhere the people seem to be In the best of spirits over the prospects for tho future. "nigh at this time it looks as if it is going to be a great year for Nebraska, but a day may change the entire situa tion." Mayor Willing for State Commission to Make Valuation "if the state railway commission waata to make a physical valuation of the street railway company, I haven't tho least ob jection," said Mayor James C. Bahlman. who objects to the city of Omaha going to the expense of a valuation. The mayor said that the city could not afford to spend S30,000 or $25,000 to make the physical valuation, hut if the state railway commission thought it necessary and could manage to do It, the city would bo glad to use the railway commission's report' in the suit to force a reduction in the price of fares. City commissioners are divided as to the advisability of making a physical v&lua tlon of the street railway company, but city attorneys are of the opinion that such a course will be adopted before liti gation is ended.
