Texas. is shipping this market some very fine
Red apples, which compare favorably with
any stock that has been seen this year. They
are put up in one-third bushci baskets and
bring so cents to so cents per basket. With
little care in selecting varieties and intelli-
gent cultivation Texas can produce just as
fine apples in some sections of the State as
can be grown anywhere.
There was not enough poultry received this
morning to make market. AS the cotton
picking season COMES on shipments will be
light and prices better. Prices on what came
il today were very good.
