As there {s absolutely no question as to the quality and condition of these surplus army foods, the consumers should inform their butcher or grocer the desired size and style that would be best suited to their individual wants, A canvass of the butchers shopping in the wholesale meat district did not find them all enthusiastic over the contemplated action of the Govern- ment in selling this large amount of surplus meats directly into consump- tion channels, A majority of, the butchers admitted that the quality was desirable and that they would “put in a bid for such trade, such as bacon; the other hotel and BUTCHERS AFRAID TO FIGHT PACKERS.

In the future lots will be included several million pounds of poultry and canned goods. NOW A FISH FAMINE THREATENED. The strike of the fishermen on the Atlantic goast has brought New York to face a fish famine. It is rather astonishing that so few people are aware of the importance of a normal supply of fresh fish. The shortage of fresh water fish for the Jewish element resulted in an un- usual demand for red meats and poultry, and as a consequence the prices on live poultry and chucks ad- vanced 3 to 5 cents a pound. One of the oldest deale in Washington Market stated to-day that fish was less plentiful this week and last week than at any time for forty years. The Fulton’ wholesale fish market was greatly excited this morning. avery load of fish that would reach the market was followed by a mob ot buyers, and prices were only of a secondary cohsideration. The supply was confincd largely to the fish brcught here from the Jersey coast, mostly bluefish. weakfish, porgics, seabass and herring. The following were some of the wholesale prices in Fulton wholesale fish market this morning: Fluke, 18 to 18 to 20c.
