POTATOES AND
CABBAGE HIGHER
Market Firms to Higher Levels
on Heavy Demand and Light
Consignments—Cheese Up.
Business opened up rather briskly in
the local market* this morning with
the demand for green stuff and gen
eral vegetable* allowing a market im
provement over last week. In foot, the
market wa* a little abort on supplies tn
this department. This time the trad*
got a little past the hay market plaza.
Cabbage and new potatoes were
•trictly on the short list and from all
indication* this week is to feature a
shortage in that department. The cab
bage shipper ha* about disposed of his
superfluous stocks and is now tn a
condition to make th* market yield th*
desirable price or hold up consign
ments. From the looks of the stocks
being offered In San Antonio this morn
ing, ne is doing the latter. The market
ts strong at 21.50 to 22.00 per hundred
pounds. Potatoes of desirable sizes ere
bringing 21.60.
Tomatoes are now coming down a
fta cents In price. Th* market quota
tion this morning was a full nickle low
er than Saturday. Stocks that are
being offered are almost heavy. The
quality of the supply Is desirable. Only
on* fault Is being found, they ar* ar
riving a lltt’j too ripe to make them
good keeper*. They are in fine shape,
however, for immediate consumption.
The New York courts are trying the
alleged chicken trust and an effort Is
being made to indict several well known
and extensive produce concerns, for try
ing to control the trade. At this sea
son of the year, according to i local
brokers, it is Strang* Why any one
would chose to hold up anything In the
coultry line.
Hens are a drag on the market in
San Antonio. The housewife is turn
ing to the young springs as more de
sirable this kind of weather. Eggs are
in abundance at 14 cents the dozen, but
the marwet Is expected to show a slight
firming up during th* course of this
week. Reports are coming from the
country that the hens which began lay
ing unusually early this year are about
played out and that for a week or so
now. the market may be a little short
on supplies. This accounts for th* lib
eral consignments of old hens on the
market at present. When a hen stops
laying the fanner uually ships h«r to
market.
Th* cheese market Ihas today, ac
cording to telegraph advices from New
York, taken a firmer stand. Full cream
is quoted a cent higher than Saturday.
All varieties of berries ar* very
scarce in San Antonio today. Shippers
have advanced the prices on carlot con
signment* to practically 21-60 per crat*
at the loading stations, maklngthe quo
tation on the local market* not less than
22 per crate. Local conuniaaton m*n
do not consider that the trad* will pay
this price and some doubt Is being ex
pressed whether or not San Antonio will
see many more berries this season.
The northern ’ market ar* at presnt
making a havy call for berries for with
peaches practically off the list th*
betng turned almost entirely to
these commodities.
The coffee market Is taking a firm
stand and it Is the opinion of local
brokers that the market thia year is to
go no lower than its present quotation.
The markat on all varieties of green
coffee Is 3-4 cent higher. A leading
Importer advises the trad* that after
careful survey of the United States and
Brazil he finds nothing that leads to
th* belief that coffee Is to be any low
er during the next yegr. He bases his
conclusion on the amount In sight and
on the average consumption.
Texas Is more and more 'being look
ed upon as a rice producing state and
I this cereal Is yearly becoming In moro
genera) use with tne people of th*
1 south. Bv way of recommending It to
I'the people, a bulletin Issued by th* d*-
। partment of agriculture at Washington
partment of agriculture recently said:
Rice forms th* principal food of one
half the population of the earth. It Is
| more widely and generally used as a
food material than any other cereal . It
possesses healing and curative proper
ties to a greater degree than any other
cereal, owing chiefly to It* digestibility
and nerve-building qualities, rice diet
being known to be one of the greatest
convelvable assistants to nature, restor
ing the system from the ravages of
dyspepsia, indigestion and their various
attendant evils.’

Subsequently Atchison wa* marked

Th* market withstood th* selling af

New York Bu\ says. This continues
until finally th* last is reached, a tiny
thing with a slip of paper inside it.
On the paper is a single word. “Cur
iosity.”
“I keep It there to amuse waitln|
patients," the specialist explained. "If
there was only one who went through
the scale of boxes he might feel sore
about it. but he or she leaves the box
closed for the next comer, and when
there are quite a few in the waiting
room It gets to be a pretty good joke
and I can hear laughter aa the latest
arrival gets stung. I picked th* box
up on a trip to India and happened
to leave it tn th* waiting room one
day. Now it stays there all th* tlm*.”
