Market in Paris. Paris, July 23. (Cerrespondence of the Associated Press.)—An incipient riot of housewives and street vendors at the Central Martkets recently has done more than the pofemics of the press and menaceg of politiclans to advance the campaign wugainst the high meat prices. ‘What angered the women was the séizure ‘and destruction by sanitary inspectors of several tons of meat and youltry that had spofled in storage while if it had been sold the same day as received as required by the rules, At would have forced prices desirable.

The women insisted upon the- re-estab- lishment of the public scales that were suspended at the beginning of the war, charging the commission’ merchants with selling only as much of the meat consigned to them as could be dis- vpesed of without cutting prices. The public sales, or ‘“sales by crier” es- tablish the offical central market quotations. -Since they have been suspended, the commission merchants have it all in their own hands— eliminating all influences of supply and demand. A committee has now recommended ‘re-estabushmeut of the sales by crier Under this system the commission merchant 'may fix a minimum price tor meat or produce consigned to ‘him. The crier declares that price and anyone may buy at that figure 1f no one offers more; ‘sometimes no of- fer is received'and the commission merchant must lower his price. - Another reform proposed is the pub- lication in the Municipal Bulletin each week of a list of the proyisions and kinds of meat and poultry that are mest abundant and advantages for the economical housewives.

(Correspondence of the Assoeiated Press.) Parig, July 23.—Service at the front seems to indispose men for work in the fields. The military authorities gave a great many leaves to reser- vists to permit them to do the work of seeding; they were obliged later to ask the local authorities to send back to the front all men who neglected the work for which they were sent home. An employment bureau organized to recruit farm help to replace the men at the front succeeded in placing only 3,600 refugees from Belgium and Northern France, Spaniards,, Ka- byles from Algeria and Moors were tried unsuccessfully, yet,..thanks to the women, the total wheat acreage is 11,446,266 acres against last years' 12,986,660, of which 696,204 acres J were in invaded territory. Reports from the eleven regions in- ‘ta which France is divided for pur- poses of statistics give the wheat crop prospect as averaging'.72 which is considered quite satisfactory. This average is about the same as that of last year. = Bight depart- ments that were invaded and are still partially occupied show the astonisa- ingly high percentage of 76. The cash wheat market in France is paralyzed by the government's re- quirement that no wheat may = be shipped from one department into an- other unless thére is shipped back in return an equivalent quantity of flour. Barley, oats and all . other crops promise as well as wheat, VENICE IS FEELING WAR MOST KEENLY Not a Humdred Tourists .in City Today—Distress = Among Weorking Classes Widespread. (Corresponaence of the “Associated Press.) Venice, July 3.—Venice, perhaps of all the cities in Italy, is feeling -the | war most keenly. At the height of the spring season in normal years there would beé from 12,000 to 13,000 But today ‘there are not a hundred in the whole city. Ho- tels with from two to three hundred )| rooms are absolutely ‘empty; some in- | deed are closed up. The Piazza of St. Mark is deserted, || and there are no strangers to feed the pigeons. The Grand Canal which ought to be black with gondolas has Italian ! no other trafiic but the two-cent steamboats. The gondoliers are lit- erally starving, Nearly all of them have been compelled even .to pawn the familiar brass horses which dec- orate their gondolas, though all they can raise on them is six lira—a. dollar and twenty cents. The storekeepers are in no-better plight, dependent as they are almost entirely upon the tourists. Most of them are unable to pay their rents, and the landlords, with the help of the banks, are carrying them over unul better times. Venice has no trades and industries] except in articles of luxury, such as laces, leather goods, and fine glass- ware. All these are entirely at a standstill. Distress among the working clas- ses is widespread. Even in normal times the poverty in Venice is extra- ordinarily great; some authorities in- deed assert that one-fourth of the whole population are paupers. Dur- ing the past month there have been food riots and thousands of people are close to starving. The munici- pality has been granting relief as far as possible, but now it is said that the funds available for this purpese are well nigh exhausted, ON PAYING BASIS, May Receipts of Panama Canal Leave Balance of $177,799, Washington, July ‘23.—Counting only a cost of operation of civil gov- ernment, sanitary work and adminis- tration and the handling of ships, the Panama Canal is now on a paying basis, according to officlal reports.
