WELCOME IN POlp BT LILIAN TINGLED MUSHROOMS have reappeared in the markets during the past week. Thry cost 75 cents a pound, but those I saw were not specially attractive. On the other hand. I did admire some particularly fine artichokes from Los Angeles, two for 25 cents. anJ the large purple egg plant from Florida at 25 cents a pound. Hothouse cucumbers look spe cially good Just now and cost 25 a"nd 35 cents, according to size. There were no preen or wax beans to be seen yesterday, and -ery few green peas. Spinach, sreen peppers, brussels sprouts and cauliflower all tended to he slightly higher In price. There was plenty of nice fresh field let tuce at 10 to 23 cents a pound, some cholco Los Angeles head lettuce at 10 cents a head, and watercress, for green salads and sandwiches. Nice red tomatoes are usually In demand for "Valentine parties, and there are now better ones than usual at this season for 25 cents a pound. Alligator pears are again to be had at 40 cents each. Pineapples are good just now and can be served in many ways. I saw some fine large ones weighing from 5 to 7 pounds at 75 cents each, while smaller ones could be had at 25 andf 40 cents. CJrape fruit cost from 5 to 12Vi cents each and are very much In demand at present. Oranges range from 15 to 40 cents a dozen, some particularly large ones being offered at 35 cents. Apples cost from tl.n0 to $3.00 a box. There are plenty of rabbits this week at 40 and 50 cents each. A rabbit likes to be stuffed and roasted, "Jugged" or fried, but is never ' happier than when trying to pass as "chicken mousse," "chicken tlmhale," "chicken souffle" or "cream of chicken and ham." Sometimes there is a real chicken to assist In the WANTS FEDERAL CONTROL l'KUKIXS OBJECTS TO STATE Sl'FKKVISIOX OF TRUSTS. Morgan's Partner .Says Competition Dead and Era of Co-operation in Trade Begun. NEW YORK. Fob. 7. That the man agers of the piant corporations would welcome supervision by the Federal Gov ernment was the opinion expressed today by Georjje W. . Perkins ot the firm of J. P. -Morgan & Co. in an address before the wtudonte of Columbia University. Mr. Perkins defended the bis" corporations as a natural outgrowth of business condi tions and declared that it had accom plished creat Rood and ts capable of ac complishing much more. He said: There la iicarcely a corporation manager today who would not welcome supervision, could he but. feci that tt would rome from tlii" Nattonul Government acting through an intn iKnt and fair-minded official ; but to br faod with the requirement to be super- Ised by 40 or 50 governments with varying Hphs and laws, of course, sues rut dif ficulties that are almost insurmountable. National supervision, under a law requiring that those who supervise should be prac tical men. thoroughly versed in their calling, would solve moat of our difficulties. t ts almost heresy to tay that competition n no longer the life of trade, yet this haa come to be the fart as applied to the old unreasoning competition, because of the condition of .our day. The spirit .of co nperation is upon us. It must of necessity le the next great form of business develop ment and progress. TEN COALMINERS PERISH Crushed to Death by Explosion at Port Hood.

Poultry prices are unchanged from last week turkey and duck 25 cents, chicken and goose 20 cents, except that squabs have gone up to 50 cents each instead of 75 cents a pair. There are some nice two pound broilers at 75 cents each and guinea fowl killed to order, at the same price. Stuffed and baked fish, either whole or In rolled fillets, are -ery generally liked; but many housekeepers are extremely con servative In regard to the stuffing. Varia tions In this line are, however, interest ing both In the making and the eating. Besides the more usual bread stuffing or the shrimp or oyster Inside -the rolled fillet, there are good mixtures of the plainer sort in which oatmeal r mashed potatoes, take the place of some of the crumbs; and the flavoring can be varied almost Indefinitely with the aid of fresh and dried herbs, onion Juice, chopped ham. green pepers, minced celery, orange or lemon zest, splee, discreetly used, and even a hint of garlic A little tomato sauce added to a plain stuffing Is very satisfactory with some kinds of fish; and an occasional curry ' stuffing is by no means to be despised, if you are a lover of curries.

In a pre liminary report of the-Postal Commis sion authorized during the last Con gress, the main recommendation will be to the effect that the office of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General shall be done away with and that an executive officer appointed by the President for a long term be installed as the active head of the department, who shall act under the direction of tiie Postmaster-General and hold the same relation that a superintendent of a railroad holds to a railroad presi dent and directorate. The examiners found that politics too often Jnterferred with the system atic running of the department and that the heads were seldom installed for any ,ength of time before being re tired or placed elsewhere. Under present conditions It is neces sary for a mail bag lock broken on an Alaskan route to be transported the entire distance to the Mississippi Val ley before it can be mended. To do away with this and other impracticable methods, the' commission proposes the formation of divisions with full power to administer offices within their boundaries, Said boundaries shall not necessarily follow state lines. It Is proposed to centralize the book keeping and do away with much ac count work that is unnecessary. -Of; the 62,000 postofflces run by the Government it is thought that fully 30.000 can be operated in such a man ner as to become non-accounting of fices and do away with the too fre quent issuance of stamps and many in termediate reports.- ' FORCED . TO RAISE LOAN German Lloyds Negotiates to Pay for Two Steamers. BREM EX, Feb. 7. -An extraordinary meeting of shareholders ot ' the North German Lloyds Steamship Company passed a resolution to raise a loan of $250,000 to cover the cost of construction of two trans-Atlantic liners which were laid down last year.
