BRISK TRADE FOR
"CLEAN-UP" DAY
Carloads of Fresh Meats, Fish, Vege-
tables and Fruits Are Coming.
PRICES CONTINUE FIRM
ST. GEORGE CANTALOUPES EX-
PECTED AT END or WEEK.

The local produce market was fairly &C
tive yesterday considering the fact that
it was Tuesday, the one day OF the
week when for some cause unknown TO
the masculine mind the housewives as
rule are content to set forth the odds
and ends TO be found in the pantry. Tues
day is q kind of clean up day in the
average household and for that reason
there is not much doing in the local mar
kets as a rule. but yesterday there was
a brisk trade In vegetables and fruits
without, however, affecting the ruling
prices.
Today several carloads of fresh meats,
fish, vegetables and fruits are expected
to arrive from the east and from the
coast, and then there viii be a decided
move in all departments of local produce.
II Is possible that prices may take a
drop today as consequence OF inc large
stock that is coming in More watermei-
onS were displayed yesterday ana they
appeared To be of 4 better size and quail
ity than those Offered Monday. ttah
strawberries continue TO come IN freety
and are in much better condition than
those presented last week The price re-
mains the Same-three boxes Tor q quar-
ter RasDbeTTieS have not as yet MADE
q great impression on the local lTulJ mar
ket. but in all probability regular ship
ments will begin to arrive the latter part
of this week The blackberry crop IS
fully up to the average of previous years
and for the next two DAYS the supply
will be large enough to satisfy the most
cNactinE housewife who has in mind TO
make blackberry jam for the coming fall
and winter
The cantaIoupe set up yesterday was
larger in size and of better quality than
any thus far offered. There were few
specimens of St. George growth, and they
compared favOrably with those coming in
from southern California In another
week the latter will have TO give way to
the melons raised in this state. ard a
few may be seen on the stalls from
Rocky Ford. Colo
