Ths watermelon season wm formally
opened here today with the arrival of
three carloads.
While one car had rrevlously arrived
In the murker tlm mmnlv nroved bo
acant that few people secured a taste of
we watery rrult.
Today's arrivals were generally In One
condition, although one car was riper
than the othors.. During the week fotrr
additional cara aro expectea nere i "
market along Front street wa In fine
shape for the melons when they werj
unloaded this morning. Everyone wanted
to buy and In consequence prices held
very stiff. While the first car sold nt
io a pound, today's arrival sold at
2HLct a nnund. the latter price for
some carefully selected stock.
, Telegraphic advices received from
' California state that the demand for
melons Is greater than supplies at this
time and that price are very firm in
consequencu. .
Trull Trad Is Very Good,
Along Front street the trade In fruits
was very good today. 'Receipts as a rul
were not very heavy outside of the
watermelons and demand Is Increasing.
A car of Bt. John peaches arrived In
from California and found a better de
mand that formerly because sties were
a trifle larger than previous receipts.
Loganberry canning season Is on in
full swing among the housewives and
the result Is a very liberal Increase In
the demand. The Brooks association
continues to make liberal shipments, but
because of the better call the market is
holdlnir ou tt stead ly at H a crate ior
beat stuff.
Btrawborry arrivals at this time are
rather small and the market is quite
firm with the top at $1.60 a crate for
24s. Quality Is quite badly mixed, how
ever, and the price ranges down con
siderably In consequence. .
Currants are coming In somewhat
more freely, and in better shape. Prices
are holding high and. show no disposi
tion to recede because the demand is al
wavs better for currants than supply.
Some few arrivals of wild blackberries
are reported locally but supplies are
still too small to basea quotation.
Raspberries nre In quite liberal sup
ply along the street with demand Just
about equal to the output at former
week's values.
Cantaloupes Scarce and Hla"hT.
Because of the very low prices that
have been In effect In thlsjnarket thus
far this season heavy arrivals at the
start breaking down prices Front
street handlers report a scarcity of
stocks at present and In consequence
values are showing a additional ad
vance of 25c this morning. Another car
is due tomorrow morning.
Cherry market U still verv slow be
rnnAe of the nress of supplies. C'anners
are handling but a small percent of
their usual output because of the over

ket, due mostly to the very high values
that have ruled .during the past two
years.
