The past week with the jobbers has been

but a steady run OF fair summer orders came
in. which covered the grocery line fairly

with canned goods slow. Rice is being held

heavy demand.
Produce dealers have had an extra good
run of orders on nearly all lines. The Texas
crops are being exhausted and Western and
Northern produce is now coming in freely.
California fruits have almost entirely re-
placed the Texas product. which is getting
scarce and OF poor quality. Another week
and there will be but few home grown peaches
on the market. The dry, hot weather for tho
past two weeks has materially reduced the
vegetable market and dealers are now re-
oeiving beans and other lines from tho North.
