sfdered Drug.
SACRAMENTO, August 22d.
The situation has changed somewhat since
Saturday as regards fruit and vegetables.
Peaches of the clingstone variety are getting
short There are plenty OF clings, however, at
very low prices. Bartlett pears are scarce
with prices firm. Melons are coming in more
plentiful than before; they are moving slowly
and at low prices on account of the change in
the weather. Cantaloupes are a drug in the
market. So are tomatoes.
Prices in poultry and dairy produce remain
about the same, only slight drop being
noticed.
