Low PRICES RULE
FOR VEGETABLES
Attractive Displays in Mar
ket Include Fruits-Poultry
Continues Plentiful.

Attractive displays of fruits and
vegetables claimed the attention of
early morning buyers Tomorrow
morning supplies of vegetables prob
ably will be much larger, many
growers not gathering crops Sundays
The low prices that have prevailed
in the vegetable market We're still
in evidence. and some of the vege-
tables were so plentiful that dealers
could hardly give them away.
Poultry continues plentiful, dealers
report, but the market has not yet
recovered from the draggy condition
that prevailed last week, and dealers
do not hope for much of an improve
ment until vacationists begin arriv-
ing home.
Prices of most commodities this
morning We're substantially the same
a ) those at the close of last weeks
