Seen in the
Markets

~ HERE are few changes to an
nounce in the price OF vege-
tables and fruits this week.
As general thing, the
prices OF Saturday hold over to the
first of the following week. 1t is not
until the Thursday market day that
there is a movement upward or
downward in the scale of prices.
The hot weather OF the past week
will undoubtedly hasten the crops

expected in the near future. As 1t
Is at present. Strawberries are prac-

in from rural districts near Wash

Spring onions, though growing

California cherries are slightlS

varieties are selling at the average
price Of 30 cents a pound. Some deal
