CALIFORNIA DRIED FRUITS.

Regarding the situation In dried fruits
on the coast the San Francisco Trade
Journal of May says; THE market Is
cleaned up of all varieties except prunes,
which latter are reported weak and slightly
lower to sell. This weakening Is a dis
appointment to many In the trade, for they
expected the market to hold strong, II not
stffen some in consequence of frost dam
age in France and an improved demand
from Europe. For new season fruits there
is talk OF both peaches and apricots open
ing az around an 8 cent basis for choice
The expected strong demand for green
fruits to the East is expected to cut into
the currency of both peaches and aprlcots,
yet the heavy crop OF the latter, taking
the State as a whole. may cause more
curing than is now estimated

Notes About Trade.

Houston, Saturday. May IS.


Those who hesitate when asked to In
vest money in Houston manufacturing en-
terprises lest they do not pay have only to
look to those factories already in existence.
At the present time the brooms sold In
Houston are Of home production and the
broom factories are paying. Broom corn is
being grown around Houston most sue
cessfully and is paying crop. AT meet
ing held in Illinois few days ago another
$40 was added to the price making the
value now $3.50 ton.
The Western broom makers, like the
wire and steel trust, have steadily ad-
vanced prices The Houston manufactur-
ers kept prices down with the result that
foreign made brooms are about driven out
OF this market.
The success OF the Forest Manufacturing
company demonstrates that properly man
aged pickle and canning factories here Will
pay the stockholders.
Soaps are being made in Houston which
are superior to most Of the imported stuff
and If properly advertised would be built
up in the State as well as in the city.
Luttman Brothers are successful with
their mattress factory and furniture fac
tory conducted by men of experience
would, like all other Houston manutac-
turing industries. make money.
There are other factories besides those
cited. but they are sufficient to call at
tention to the inviting field presented to
Houstonians who have money rustlng and
mildewing that could be made to return
interest and assist in developing this sec
tion.
