a window in the home and had not
been used for over fifteen years.
Late Friday afternoon when the
boys were going from the house to
the barn to turn the horses into the

HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.
Special to The Rryan K.tglo.
Houston, Texas, March 15. Still no
rain! That was the wail of worry and
disappointment to be beard on all
sides last week. Planting is being de
layed, truck farms are drying up and
strawberry patches are putting f6rth
small fruit for want of proer moist
ure. Really the lack of rain Is becom
ing a serious matter. The weather re
port showed a deficiency for February,
and this is likely to be the ease with
March unless there Is a sudden change
in the situation.
Cotton is still bullish because of
the strorig statistical position of the
staple. This week the market is ton
eerned with the government report on
the amount of cotton ginned. This will
be the final census report of the sea
son and will count very closely the
cotton raised the past season. Heavy
rains would cause short selling and a
depression in the market.
Potatoes and onions are scarce in
this market, owing to the heavy de
mand that was made for these sup
plies when the big body of soldiers
was rushed Into the state.
Orauges advanced 406750c a box
this week on advices of an advance In
California due to the Inability of pick
'ers to get Into the groves there on
j account of heavy rains, and thli has
'out down supplies and forceJ ihe ad
vance. Navel oranges are now quoted
at $3.00.
I Etannnas were dull the early part of
last week owing to abundance of ripe
j fruit, but this was disposed of by Frl
iday and was supplanted by glower
! ripening stocks. Prices were un
j changed on bunches packed for shlp
, ment. Arrival of the Morcador In port
i here with thirty-two cars of bananas
'did not affect the market, as most of
j tliis fruit went to Inland points north
jand east.
I Poultry eased down last week, the
movement of roosters and hens being
'the heaviest "since Christmas, and hens
Isold as low as $4.75 Kr dozen. Young
.chickens are still off the market. Kggs
remain at 14c, with" the local market
absorbing about all the receipts. Coun
try butter is still a drug on the mar
jket. I The lower coast country Is shipping
'much truck, cabbage, lettuce, etc., to
1 Northern market 3.
i Collections last week were reported
i fair to good, and all business satis
i factory. There were no failures in the
I Houston district of forty-two counties.
