branches. The duh and inactive market in
General Merchandise extended to-day to all
kinds of farm products outside of Deciduous
Fruits. For the latter there was good local
and shipping demand, and had not receipts
been very heavy, prices would have been adj
Vanced under the improved demand. Fruit
are all running on full time in this
city, which gives employment to fully j 200
persons, young and old. Canneries in the
fruit districts of the State are also reported to
be running on full time. The starting up of
the canneries has taken off the street many
hundreds of the younger people, and enables
them TO earn something during school vaca-
ton.
