SACRAMENTO MARKETS.
The Hot Spell Causes Fruits to Ripen
Rapidly.

SACRAMENTO, August 9TH.
The hot spell has had its effect on the local
market, fruits ripening very fast causing the
receipts to belarge, WatermelOns and Peaches
are coming very freely, and can be had at bed
rock prices. Shippers meet with difficulty in
handling fruit, refrigerator cars being scarce.
The demand for California fruits in Eastern
cities seems TO have no abatement, and con-
signlnents arriving in good shape meet with
ready buyers.
In the Vegetable line little can be said. Re
ceipts and demands are about equal, quota
tons remaining stationary. Dairy Produce
and Poultry are little freer, no changes of
consequence being noted.
