Secretary of War Baker has released over 2,000,000 pounds of pork shoulders ‘and 3,000,000 pounds of roasting chickens and 838,000 pounds of mut- tom, to be sold to municipalities at cost. This class of food must be handled through trade channels, and some means should be adopted to place it within New York's reach. City Market Commissioner Jonat ©, Day informed the writer that his department was not equipped to prop- erly handle these meats, as they re- quired experienced ‘operators, which | the city did not have. It is now up to the Secretary of War to adopt a plan for the distribution of these meats in New York City at a mini- mum cost. ‘ ‘The Evening World has received offers from patriotic merchants to properly handle and deliver those meats to merchants or retail dealers ‘at a nominal cost, and the offer has been forwarded to Secretary of War Baker. ‘The wholesale market on all de- scriptions of fruits and vegetables ix extremely low and housewives should have little difficulty in filling their market baskets on Saturday at the lowest price in over two yeurs, Elberta peaches are wholesuljng’ at! $2.50 for, crates containing from 245 to 260 peaches.
