By P. Q. Foy. (Special Food E: Wee the Evening The shortage of ice is being felt more each day by the vacationists in the northern sections of this State. One of the leading trunk tine rail- roads hag refused to furnish iced cars, and as this line taps the prin- cipal lake and mountain resorts, the possibility of getting perishable fruits and vegetables during the hot weather is none too bright. Three of the large railroads on the Jersey side are fur- nishing iced cars when notified in ad- vance, A large fish dealer in Fulton Market, when asked what were the prospects of shipping fresh fish to the rural communities during the season, replied: “The fish business is in a bad state; the fishermen are striking for more money than the business can stand, and we are getting few fresh fish just. now, The shortage of jee adds to the expense of handiing, as ‘fish require jiberal icing at alll times. I know our firm would aave money by shutting down for the sum- mer, and I think others would, too.” Interviews with some of the other leading wholesdie fish dealers dis- closed the same sentiments, The merchants in Peck Slip that handle the fresh water fish report the same conditions that exist in the salt water fish market. We have an immense amount of frozen poultry of last year’s produc- tion in the freezers, The Government report gives the entire holdings at 54,671,613 pounds against 18,339,127 pounds a year ago. This poultry was purchased at the highest prices ever ‘he speculators did not look for so early a peace, and the armis- tice dashed their dreams of famine prices. Included in this colossal amount are 14,000,000 pounds of 000,000 pounds over 8,000,000 pounds of broil The roasting chickeng weigh about 4 to 5 pounds each, are of exceptionally fine quality and are now offered wholesale at 40c or less, This would enable retail dealers to sell 5. fancy 6-pound roast- hg corn-fed yore THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, JULY ts Lote." most other meats and consumers should not pay over 45 cents for the roaster, but some bad class shops handic milk-fed sting chickens that cost 2 to 3 cents a pound more, Regarding these frozen broilers and frying chickens, the prices are about the same as the ting chickens. If we had reason- square dealing retail poultry dealers in New York those millions of pounds of fine poultry could be distributed to consumers at reason- ably low prices. The wholesale market is liberally supplied with beef, but lamb, pork righ yet is scarce at the moment and er in price. Aside from the ex ive cuts of beef, such as steaks, prices on the balance of the carcass are compara- tively reagonable, especially on the ordinary outs of roast and stewing meats.
