The oppressive weather seems to be
beneficial to trade. It makes a great de
mand for fruits and vegetables, and
other lines fare as well.
The fruit dealers have all thev cm at
tend to. Cherries, bananas and leni(g
are plentiful and sold rapidly. 1
Receipts of strawberries are light, but
are fullly equal to the demand.
Oranges are high and scarce.
The poultry market ia overflooded
with stock, and prices aro weak.
