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

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.

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

REFORM , POSTAL SERVICE
Commission Recommends Many
Changes In Interest ot Economy.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. 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.- '

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. Herr Welgand,
director of the North German Lloyd
line, in reviewing the position of the
-company, said the loan had been rendered
necessary owing to the last half year not
'fulfilling expectations in consequence of
the rate war of the trans-Atlantic lines
and also because of the recently ended
competition with the Japanese company
and the struggle with the English com
panies for South American traffic.
