LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.

LOCAL WHOLESALE MARKET.
Falling weather was given a hearty
welcome by nearby truckers. who
furnish the local market much OF its
supplies of green vegetables. Be-
cause of the continued dry weather, it
was reported, growing crops were
seriously affected.
Dry weather greatly interfered
with late corn, and already had
caused a shortage in the supply of
roasting ears. Growers hardly expect
the corn crop will be benefited, how
ever, unless there is a late appear
ance of a biting frost.
Potatoes, both white and sweet, may
be benefited by the rain, and the wet
weather also may help late tomatoes.
There was a fairly plentiful supply
of tomatoes on hand this morning.
with prices slightly advanced.

current about likelihood of increased

market here showed a downward ten.
dency today during the early deal.

vailing prices flour millers as fal
south as Kansas could import Ca
madam wheat at a profit. On the othel
