RECEIPTS Of FRUIT
ARE LARGE HERE
Market Also Well Supplied
With Vegetables From
Many Points.

Many Points.
Receipts of all varieties Of fruits and
vegetables this morning were in excess
of demands. They were from all sec
tions of the country, dealers reported,
and some of the vegetables from points
as far distant as Texas, Florida and
California presented an appearance al
most as attractive as some of the home
grown products.
1t was pointed out that some of the
corn from Texas was in as good condt-
ton as much of the similar vegetable
from much nearer points.
This is due to the treatment the
corn receives just after being gathered"
commented a dealer this morning. 1T
is put through a cooling process and
packed for shipment while it is still
cool The result is that much OF 1t is
in splendid condition week or more
after being gathered"
