have been received jn Montreal within the last ten days.Several thousand bunches of bolh green and oyer-ripe bananas have also been recelved du the last few days, and have been !1mmediatèly despatched over Lhe «ltv to relieve the various fruit stands of those that were festering on the hands of the dealers, who held them at an advance price because of the unexpected scarcity of that delicious fruit in\u2019 consequence of the tardy arrival of the large car- £0 just received.\u2018It does not pay to keep solid fruit,\u201d said a retailer Lo a STAR reporter, because we ve Lo charge so much for it to make any- ing, that only people in good cireum- stances can afford to pay the price, and their patronage fs very light.For example, here are some peaches I have just rot in; 1 am charging 40 cents a dozen for them now with but very few \u201ctakers; hut just wait until they are halt rotten, which will compet me to raduce the price to get rid of them.Then you will pee them go like hot cakes on a frosty mora- ing.Everybody complaius of the high price charged for fruit, which they think ought to be cheap because Lhe duty is removed, but we can\u2019t help it.\u2019 **The Rreea bananas,\u201d sald a wholesale dealer, \u201care shipped to distant places, while the very ripe ones are solid to dealers ip the city at $1, $1.50 and 52 a buach according to the condition they are in\u201d \u201cWhat do you do with them when they are decayed?\u201cWall, we must sell'them.They do not remain long on our hands, when they are too fur gone to keep, because a peddier who makes a living out of the business comes around every day und buys up all we have for a very small sum, and sells them to the small rTuit dealers at a large profit.\u201d When asked why he preferred toseli decayed fruit instead of titat which was sound, When he knew apn over indulgence will produce cholera, a vendor said: ** We have got to live, cholera or no cholera.\u201d A large business is done in a small way in green apples and over ripe bananas.\u2019 DETECTIVES IN sEARCH * Of Caza, the Alleged Cotean Murderer.Chiet Hughes sent Detectives Gladu and Trempe after the aileged Coteau murderer, A.H.Caza, yesterday alternoon and supplied them oerally with junds to meet the neces- saly expenses.At the same time the Chiet communicated with the Pinkerton agency al Cnicago iu reference to this case.The search will now be continued until the mur- be caught, it that be possible.\u2018Lhe officers in search otf him went weil a1lned as it is feared that Caza, If driven to the wall, will sell his life as dearly as possible.That the fellow has no fear is proved by the iact Lnat the entire population of Coteau Landing.with a large coutingent from Lhe neighboting villages could not induce bim to take flight on the evening ot the murder.He walked amongst the crowd and flourished his revolver, sat down before a saloon, made \u201cthe boys\u201d treat him and them fired over their heads to show them what he could do if they dared stop him.It is thought that the likeliest direction taken by him is towards the North.West, where he may expect to find sbeiter among his former comrades, the cowboys.Detective \"Trem it is understood, searches the pelghborhood of the Coteau, whilst Giadu goes West.Cornwall Canal Matters.To the Fditor of the STAR: SIR, \u2014 A correspondent makes the statement that the barge ' Dorchester\u201d was drawing 9 ft.4 inches.For his Information ] would state that the \u2018\u2019 Dorchester \u201d was loaded in Oswezo to Y ft.; thatshe may bare been drawing more water when she reached Cornwall 1 do not doubt.The barge had been dragged over the bottom of the Cornwall canal, causing her to leak freely, which would add to her original 9 ft draft, Imagine a barge with 658 Lons of coal on board, as even your correspondent admits, being \"aground to the extent of 2 inches: and the captain\u2019s report is very much greater.On this barge being docked in Montreal it was round that her fore-foot and part of her keel were damaged to such an extent that they had to he renewed at considerable cost and four days\u2019 delay to the barge, which would not bave been mortar) ifthe 9 foot level bad been malntaine: which even your correspondent does not claim.That Superintendent McDouald does all he can, noone doubts, but he should adopt the plan adopted by Superintendent Conway, on Lachine canal, previous to the Lachize canal enlargement, that was, shut down the miils whenever the water in the cunal went below the nine foot level and kept them shut down until there was surplus water not necessary for canal purposes.I agree with your correspondent tbat tbe Government should hurry forward the present improvements on the upper level of this canal, and 1 would suggest to him that té might apply his energy in Lhis direction.Inthe meantime it is due to Superintendent McDonald to say that upon the recent trips of equal and larger tows the tug \u201c(Glide\u2019's\u201d no detention was experienced in coring down the canal.Nothing is more wanted at the present time on Lhe Cornwall canai than a telephone line from Cornwail to Dickinson's Landing connected wilh each lock and the Superintendent's restdence.Such lines are in use on the Lachine and Heaubarnois canals and bave been of immense vaiue in reœulating the cnnal & \"vice, and oi great assistance to the Superintendent in doing so.Let the people of Cornwall, through their member, Dr, Bergin, see that this telephone line 1s erected at once, D.G.THOMPBOR.Quality of
