WEEK SEES SAVING
OF NEARBY CROPS
Fruit and Vegetable Supplies
Now Assured-Meat Prices
Very Steady.


more interest to fruit and vegetable
dealers than anything that has hap
pened in recent years. The long spell
Of dry weather had virtually ruined
the strawberry crop and retarded the
progress of other varieties of small
fruits.
Practically every variety of green
vegetables suffered from the heat and
dry weather. making 1t necessary for
dealers to handle, vegetables from a
distance later than usual. This
weeks wet weather came to the res
cue Of corn. potatoes. tomatoes and
other vegetables. and growers are
corresrondingly happy.
In the meat market an increase In
the price Of pork products was the
principal change. Veal was cheaper
while beef and lamb prices remained
practically stationary.
A slight decrease in poultry prices
was the interesting feature Of that
branch of the market. Butter and
egg prices remained unchanged.
