CHICKENS, MELONS
AND CORN LOWER
Meats Wind Up Week at High
Prices-Pork Now Espe-
ciaIIy Costly.

Cheaper chickens featured the
weeks market Weakening of the
market resulted from heavy receipts
for the Fourth of July holiday sea-
son, when the supply far exceeded
the demand, and required dealers TO
hold over much stock.
Meat prices continue anything but
reasonable, pork products being es-
pecially high.
Dealers soon will reap. the benefit
of the rain to farms and truck gar
dens in this vicinity. Growers report
the saving of portions of their grow
ing crops that We're so seriously af-
fected by the long spell of hot and
dry weather.
Increased supplies Of vegetab bIes
from distant points have been a
means of keeping the local market
fairly well supplied. Heavy receipts
of green corn and cantaloupes fea-
tured the week end market, cheaper
prices resulting.
