HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW

Houston, Texas, July 31.-The gen.
eral South Texas country is in need
OF rains to mature the crops. What
rains have occurred are local show
ers and have little effect. The sun
and heat have done sheir part in
maturing the cotton and II a time
lily general rain will come this week
Tor next the crop is assured.
Conditions will average in the low
Ter SOS and it is believed it is bet.
ter this year in North Texas than in
THE coast country. Boil weevil reports
ARE coming in from South Texas. bnt
they are confined to limited terri
tory. In central and North Texas
there are no complaints Of insect
damage.
Trade throughout the Southern ter
ritory is seasonable quiet, with money
tight with the old crop year dying
and the new one coming on. Money
is available for little else than har-
vests. Collections are poor All indi-
cations, however, point to a heavy
fall business.
Although Houston Produce Row
there is demand for hens that can
not be filed. In consequence prices
have gone back to last springs high
levels and dealers are beating the
country for supplies. The reason for
the shortage is because farmers are
holding back hens for laying pur-
poses.
The hot weather is playing havoc
with the egg market Eggs are be-
ing received in bad condition and re-
ceipts not iced practically are worth
less upon reaching Houston. An in
stance is cited of one produce dealer
who candled but five dozen eggs out
of thirty dozen cases.
