DOUBT OF RATIFICATION.

Washington June 25.-Sen-
ator Wellington OF Maryland
has conversed generally with
Republican Senators during the
last week and be does not be-
lieve that any attempt will be
made to call up: the Hawaiian
annexation treaty during The
present session of Congress,
and believes that the treaty
cannot be ratified at any time.
''lt is a serious question, "
said Mr.. Wellington in a tone
Of voice so serious that it was
evident his mind was troubled,
"and ! think the Republicans
will proceed very slowly With
the matter when it is reached"
It is we'll known that Well
inetoa is opposed to- the treaty,
and he expressed himself so
emphatieally on the subject
that it will be decidedly embar-
RAISING to him if eventually his
party associates decide in eau
Gus to carry out the wishes of
the administrator and bring

Tue ridiruious figures a.
which some fruits and nearly
all vegetables are now selling
at Houston and other Texas
markets merely serve to emphas
ize the statement often made
by the Pest that a half a dozen
canning factories are needed in
this section. Houston whole
saIers buy canned goods by
the schooner load in Baltimore
and other outside markets. a
Texas label is seldom seen on
a can Of fruit or vegetables
bought by the Houston house
keeper. Growers here occasion
ally send their products to
eastern markets and have them
returned as a canned article,
but only q very few Texas
towns have canning factories
of their own. Tomatoes are
now selling on the Houston
market at 20%25c q bushel;
frequently they can't be sold
for anything. Next fall Hous-
ton retailers will sell tomatoes
packed in Baltimore for 5%15c
per can. Snap beans can barely
be given away now, but very
soon the Baltimore canned
snaps will be worth at least
1Oc a cup. = \ + There is al
ways a surplus of raw stock on
the market at this time of the
year. One great help to the
market this year has been the
large shipment Of Texas fruit
and vegetables to- points out
side the state. all early pro-
ducts can be readily disposed
of in this way, but in the sum-
mer, when vegetables are grow
ing everywhere, there is very
little demand from any source.
