The excessive heat last week, with a shaded theriiioiiieter registering from 90 to 95 degrees, brought business almost to a standstill some days, but, never- theless, Saturday, July 2, saw good l)usiness. Quantities of stock arrive, but its quality is not all that could be desired, due to the fact that for a num- ber of weeks scarcely any rain has fallen.
