PORK AND Picked
MEATS ARE FORCED UP
ALLEGED SHORTAGE AT CHICAGO
Is THE EXCUSE
WaterneIons Drag on Market at Enor-
nous Prices and Slight Demand.
Seasons First Alexandria
Peaches Arrive

quotations pork and picked meats have
advanced In Los Angeles 1t is said that
the change is due to a shortage. 1t Ia
also said that there els no shortage and
that the allegation is a ruthless bluff to In
t1ate prices. There is no shortage In the
home product and reports from Texas and
other cattle-producing states are similar.
The advance, however, is slight, running
from " to lie. wholesale
Watermelons drag on the market on
account of enormous prices and inferior
quality. The shipment of four cars which
arrived from Guaymas last week has not
been disposed of and the jobbers have had
their hands full trying to sell without a
loss. The greatest part of the shipment
was on hand yesterday with scarcely any
demand The prospects for creating a de-
mand are small at prevailing quotations:
Jobbers hope, however, to be able to sell
the next shipment at prices reasonable
enough to make such demand.
The first Alexandria peaches reached the
market yesterday, selling at $3.50 a box
The peaches came from Farmville. The re-
ceipts amounted to about 100 boxes.
There plentiful supply of all KINDS
of vegetables on hand. Green corn was IN
fair receipt. selling at Sis for lug box
containing about three dozen ears Aspar-
agus was I'D to 8 and lie
The demand for citrus fruit was slight,
owing to heavy receipts of deciduous fruit.
All berry and cherry prices were I'M
changed.
