CANTALOUPES CO
LOWER IN MARKET
Weakening of Poultry Prices
Also Reported-Meats Are
Unchanged.

Very heavy supplies of cantaloupes
chiefly from Arizona and North Caro-
lima, met a moderate demand and
weakened market Prices covered a
range of from $l50 to SO, the poorer
quality finding very little sales.
Liberal supplies of peaches from
Georgia and North Carolina continue
to weaken the market. Prices ranged
from $3.50 to $225. The fruit is said
to be of good quality and size, and
the supply is so heavy that dealers
are scarcely able to move all their
stock TO the best advantage.
A slight weakening of prices of
poultry was reported today. meat
prices remaining at what they were
at the close of yesterdays market.
