Houston Texas May 1. Texas
produce is supplying the flood-stricken
districts of the Mississippi valley. T"he
heavy shipments of poultry through
Houston to New Orleans and points
along the Mississippi prove the at
traction of higher prices and the local
supply Is suffering in consequence.
Other products of the Texas coast
country are going through to the flood
ed districts where higher prices pre-
vail on account of the total losses of
crops in the flooded sections.
However Houston people were
given the opportunity to change their
chicken diet to that of frogd by the
receipt Saturday of several barrels of
frogB from Louisiana points. The
frogs were drawn and headless and
parked in ice. It is a trial shipment
and if the demand is good frogs will
be regular on the card In Houston
produce row during their season.
The egg market Is weakening -and
dealers predict an immediate decline.
Receipts for the past few days have

Butter and cheese are firm and in
strong demand. Cheese manufac-
turers report they are far behind In

ily going into butter is being diverted

firmness of butter.
Strawberries are coming in heavy

ceipts grow.
Favorable weather has improved
trade conditions all over the coast
country. Some wholesale lines repon
business a little quiet now but that Is

them. All retail lines are flourishing
