LOCAL MARKET REVIEW.
Office Of The Post,

Houston, Wednesday, June Is.
There was no change In quotations In the
Houston markets yesterday Business was
somewhat duler on account OF the inclem-
ency OF the weather. and especially was the
green fruit trade materially affected, as fruit
becomes damaged quicker in wet weather than
in dry. Merchants were taking things easy,
however. and felt and expressed confidence
that for the dizziness of today the increased
trade OF the future will somewhat equalize the
condition.
The retail merchants in few lines did
some business and as a rule are not COM
planning at trade In the beginning Of the mid
summer season.
oats are scarce on the local market and
hard TO get on account OF rains in the oat
belt The prices, however, have not appre-
ciated.
The local prices for Elgin butter have not
been affected by the advance OF nc at head
quarters.
The trade in meats was good and dealers
eN1ressed themselves in manner indicating
satisfaction as to the business being done.
The fruit market was luler than usual, but
receipts were about the average. Peaches and
grapes were particularly of large receipts and
slow sale.
lexas eggs which have been received of late
are scarcely salenpe, and, Unless the farmers
or eiohants candle their eygs IL will he al
a lose II they are shipped to this market One
hrm has already notified its customers to that
effect.
Common Texas plums are scarcely worth ex- |
press charges on this market, but the will |
goose variety is worth 5OG60c per peck box

Here is tip from a newspaper call
ed Brains. 1t says there is but one
right way TO advertise, and that is 20
hammer your name, your occupation,
your business so constantly, so persist
emily, so thoroughly into the peoples
heads that if they walk in their sleep
they constantly turn their steps toward
your store. The newspaper is your
friend in spite of your criticism. 1t
helps to build up the community that
supports you.

Rev. Waldrop Again.

Rev. +. l.. Waldrop, whose name is
familiar to our readers as the gentle
man who has been several times mixed
up in so many cases of stealing since
he married his young wife up in Sani-
lac county, has at last succeeded in
meeting with that which he has so long
steered clear of, and has just finished
a three months sentence in the De-
troit house of correction. We found
the following in the last issue of the
State Republican,:
"Rev. E. l.. Waldrop, an evangelist
of the Church of Christ, who has just
finished 90 days term of imprison-
ment in the Detroit house of correc-
ton, pleaded guilty at Saginaw We'd
nesday to the charge of larceny of
clothes from the line and was given a
choice between another 80 day SEN
tence at Detroit or to leave the state
within ten days. He promised to re-
side elsewhere and was allowed to CO."
