Watermelons have been on the mark
ct in great abundance here the past Two
weeks and continue to bring splendid
prices. So high are they, Gin fact. that
I many people who have enjoyed them.as
luxury in past years refuse to pay
the price and are doing without. Yet,
the market seems good and the supply
is about exhausted from day to day.
The merchants are not buying as many
, as usual this lyear, the most of those
offered :being sold by the growers
direct to the consumer. The crop
; generally is not extra good, tho few
, growers { are bringing some good
specimens and tell US that yield is good
