as tlie produce maikct is toai-ernea While

The told vv eathci nnd perhaps some other
causes hav c kept down the suppl ) of t-psrs

davs there has been hardlv enough in to
make a market As a result ol the scaicity
there has been a tendency toward hicher

vv eek
Good butter has been scarce and in peed
demand at xer.v fair prices Common pack
ing stock is in the usual liberal suppl ) and
bnnps about the same prices as it has for
some weeks
The quotations on game have been hiph
all the week , but at the close there was a
more liberal tun of ducks and dealers were
unable to clean up stocks , which weakened
the market Consequentlv the closing quo

Mr Martin of the firm of Martin A

of the orange districts of Cahfornii He
savs "Have not seen the place where the

Wln.sivs Branch's , can't Californii oi
riorida do in the lemon business what the )
have done in oranges ! It is a well known
fact that thev cannot jet furnish lemons
that will stand even transportation. Is it
the soil , the climate or the curing , or i
there some other hidden reason ? We ask for
information.
J A Shea , a Minneapolis commission man ,
stopped in this cit ) onhiswav home from
California Ho rejiorts that there is an )
quantit ) of oranges in that state , and the
general impression is that the growers have
been whistling to keep up their courage. In
their desire to get big prices the.v have not
mnrkoU d their oranges fast enough
It is admitted bv some farsightcd and
intelligent orange growers that , unless steps
bo soon taken to oi > en up new markets , the
question of overproduction will have to be
faced , si ) s the I s Angeles Tim s The
orange-prow inp business , .voanc1 as it is in
this section , is rapidl ) assuming the tharac-
terof a staple industry , like that of wheat
raising or raisin making , which latter

so that , unless some cahimit ) should hap
