RED BANANAS AGAIN.
Have Long Been Scarce---Fast Fruit . }
Steamers Help Trade.
" " -
"Red bananas once more are -
plentiful in the New York market , ' i
and are likely to be so for sonic '
time , " satd u. fruit commission I
merchant to a New York Press re ,
porter. "I can remember the time
when there were more red bananas
than yellow ones , 15 01' 20 years
u go. Then they got sea rce , Six .
years ago OUa ) few buncheA
came to New York for the Christ
tunas trade , and they event to deal.
ers at $75 a bun eh , the highest
price ever paid here for such fruit.
The red banana was the first
to come to this country. 1'hen it 4
was found that the ; yellow fruit \ .
was more easily raised , kept
longer and clung better to the
stalk. This last factor was an important - ,
pOI'tant one , as a great loss comes #
from bananas dropping from the
bUllch. Mor YPJlows grow on a
bunch. For these reasons the red 1
bananas practically disappeared j !
from the markets and only . a few I .
bunches were brought here. ,
"The fast fruit steamers have . _ . {
been responsible for lowering the !
price of bananas. When we had '
to get our fruit from the sailing
vessels we never knew whether
we would have enough to supply *
the market , for the vessels would
be delayed by storms and might '
.
come in with spoiled argoes. ; To ' ' 71
.
day these fruit steamers are as
regular as passenger ships , and
we know almost to a bunch how
much the cargo will amount to. "
