HOMEGROWN CHERRIES
IN THE MARKETS NOW
Already Housewives Are Thinking
About Canning, Preserving and
Picking for Next Winter.
Vegetables and Fruits Should Be
Cheaper This Year Because
Crops Are Plentiful.

Blackberries. gooseberries, home
grown cherries and apricots are now
on the benches in the markets of the
city this week, and are a reminder that
the summer season is at hand. House
keepers are beginning to think of can
ming. preserving and picking. and it
is only a question of a short time be-
fore fruits and vegetables will be
plentiful and cheap enough to put up
for winter use. The market dealers
say that all reports they receive in
dictate plentiful crops this summer, and
with the plentiful crops should come
low prices. In the meat market the
better cuts of lamb and mutton show a
lowering in price from that of last
week. but otherwise the meat market
is unchanged. Tomatoes, which have
been selling as low as 10 cents pound
are this week higher priced. The ad-
vance, however. is but temporary.
The markets this morning were well
attended by buyers and prices ranged
