Within a week or 10 days local to mato crop will also be at its peak, if present weather continues- Tomatoes are ripening fast, and are arriving on the market in a more liberal way al most every day. Prices, however, will probably not be much lower than they are at present. Crabapples are also on the market. Season on this fruit is trenerally short lived. The housewife, who wants good crabapples usually makes early reser vations. Toward the close of the sea son crabapples are generally too soft and mushy to make good jelly. Peaches are about. a.s cheap a fruit as is being offered to the public at present. Unless a very fancy quality is desired, the consumer should be able to buy peaches for$l to $125 per box, depending upon 'the colgr and quality of the fruit.

BCTIXO CONTINUATIOX 3IAKES COTTOX "MARKET STRONGER New York, Aug. 21. The cotton market chowed continued strength at the opening tday. with .prices making new high ground for the movement. This was due to s con tinuation of the buying movement, which was inspired by deteriorating crop prospects ami reporta of an improving trade demand last week. First prices were 31 t o 53 point") aoove the closing quotations of Saturday, and December contracts sold np to $22.88,, making nt advances of sbout 45 to 55 points on the active rx-sition. At this level December showed a recovery of no less than 27 points from , the low pnee of last Tuesday snd to within 17 point of tixe high record estabhshed at the beginning of July. Naturally enough this advance was sufficient to attract a good deaf of realizing, while con siderable hedging also was reported; Such offerings were readily enough absorbed for the first few minutes, but private reports came in 'reporting showers at a few points in Northwestern Texas over the week-end and the market eased off some.' 30 to 40 points from the best before the end of the morning. The opening advance was stimulated by the continued strength of Liverpool and re iterated reports of an improving demand for soods. With a further" sharp advance the market drew close to the extreme high point at the beginning cf July. lecember contracts -reached $23. OO. a recovery of nearly 300 points from the low of last Thursday. Buying was again inspired by the deteriorating crop prospects and repr.;ts of an improved trade demand.
