The hot, dry weather has made peas
and good tomatoes scarce and high
IN the local vegetable market, and
cantaloupes are not nearly as plenty
| as they have been, but with these ex-
| ceptions the Wholesale market is well
stocked, and is favorable to buyers.
There is a glut of watermelons, and
eucumbers are so plenty that deal
efs nave TO accept what purchasers
are willing to pay. The supply of
potatoes also exceeds the demand.
The scarcity of peas, tomatoes and
cantaloupes is not expected to last
very long. Peas will probably come
in more freely now that there has
been rain, the lack of which has
kept down the supply. The receipts
OF tomatoes have not been small.
Receipts of strawberries are con-
stantly dropping off but there is a
good supply of other berries and of
the small fruits.
onions and string beans are abund-
ant and there is an ample supply of
all other kinds of truck, except, as
has been stated, peas and fancy to-
matoes.
