A carload of oranges .shipped from
the chief orange district of Florida,
arrived at New York a few days
ngo. The fruit was offered for sale to
wholesalers, who were willing buy
ers because the demand for oranges
at this time is heavy. The entire car
load was sold within a few hours
and $1,6110 was paid for it. But the
orange growers will receive only
'.( small part of the receipts. A little
over 51,000 were the charges for
bringing the oranges to the whole
sale commission merchants. Only
$o00 yill be received by the pro
ducers. If we add to the cost entailed by
1 'ringing- the fruit from Florida to
N'cw York the profit which the
wholesalers will receive and if to
that there be added the profit whic.lv
the retailers will command it will
be discovered that the consumer will
pay a very large amount over the
amount received by the orange
growers. What is true of oranges is
also true of the early vegetables
v hith are brought from Florida to
New York and ultimately are mar
keted to consumers in New York
; nd in other northern cities.
hi'oiiomio Wast?.
In this reference to one Incident In the
r.-i cut transportation of fruit from Flor
ida nml the various rosts It entails until
it reaches the consumer Is to he discovered
idcncR of the economic waste
hii-h ii ui nravulMit. It undoubtedly will
t.e brought to the attention of Secretary
Hoover. lie recently .has spoken with
emphasis In favor of greatly Increasing
our transportation facilities. making
special reference to the economic value
of Increased water navigation, and It Is
a vreasonaldo presumption that he will
urge and undertake 1" every way In hia
power the utilisation of all of these facili
ties, especially water navigation to their
capacity.
Si retching a few miles westardly from
the Atlantic coast of Florida, and paralleling-
Ihe St. Johns river from Jackson
ville to I'nlni Heach. the Indian river
flows. It bisects; perhaps the richest
fruit growing district of Florida. A few
miles from lis boundaries the virgin soil,
v liich Is very rich, produces much of tl
early vegetable crop, which nas now
reached very largo proportions so far as
the marketing of it In northern cities
is concerned.
River Transportation.
It is possible to take a boat from
Jai lisenvillo or St. Augustlno to Palm
Heach or the other way upon Indian river.
will meet impediments to navigation. yet
thh, river could l.o, improved easily so
that upon It could bo floated vessels laden
with fruit and orange;! which would be
transferred at Jacksonville to the coast
wise stcamera which ply betwetn that city
and tho northern ports.
.Men of capital of the north, dome of
whom are citizens'- of New York, have in
vested in those Florida lands and havelNo.
been cultivating oranges and vegetables.
Recently they Have undertaken the culti-
vatlon of sugar cane and have been satis-
f:ed with tho results. Otie citizen of
New York, who has made considerable
Investment In Florida, lands near Daytona,
has taken pains to make a computation
of tie.- dlfferece between the cost .of
transporting fruit and vegetables by water
and the cost of all-mil transportation.
His computation shows that the tranapor
tadon charges, for the products of Florida
could be materially reduced if the water
ways of the state were well developed and
especially the Indian river.
Harding's Experience.
Possibly Pieaidont Harding may give to
tho secretary of commerce, Mr. Hoover,
:i graphic narrative which will tell of
his e:iprienco and that of hla companiou,
Senator Frellnghuysen, while attempting
to wtiUe a voyage over the Indian river
in a houseboat. This vessel frequently
ran aground and it was at lust necessary
to abandon it. And yet. comparatively
slight Improvement of the Indian river
would make It navigable for its whole
length.
The New York citizen who has made
a compulation of the difference in costs,
estimates that the improvement of the
Florida waters would reduce the cost of
transportation of the producton of that
state at least 50 per cent.
This Florida Incident is utilized In this
wav for the purpose of an object lesson
which. If learned and acted upon, will
he of inestimable value to farmers. For if
inland waters, w men can be, at compara
tively email cost, made navigable, are
.effected, they H'ould furnish an outlet
for the movtnp of the products of the
farmers Rt much reduced cost.
Undoubtedly Mr. Hoover has action of
this kind In mind,, As an engineer, whose
achievements havf been many and great,
he Is nualtflett to judge respecting the
practicability of so utilizing the Inland
waters ss to make them of avail to com
merce. The presumption is strong that Mr.
Hoover, early In the administration of the
Iiepartment "of Commerce, will undertake
greatly to enlarge the transportation fa
cilities of this country.

Hogs Today's run of hogs amounted to
12.000 head and trade .ruled dull with a
lower tendency. Shippers bought rather
sparingly and packers held off for cheaper
cost. The market as a whole reflected de
clines ot about 25o as compared with yes
terday's average trade. Individual slase
were anywhere from 15 40c lower. Best
light hogs made a shipper top of $9.60
and bulk of the receipts sold from $8.75

lambs were here today and there was very
little activity to the demand with trade In
fat lambs quoted slow to lower." The mar
ket settled at prices about a quarter
under those paid yesterday with fet sheep
generally steady. Good fat . lambs moved
around $9.23119.50 with other sales from
$9.00 on down. Heavy lambs brought $8.40
snd some handy shorn lambs sold at
$8.50. Fat ewes are still worth up to $6.00
and a few old wethers brought $6.40. One
lot of feeding lambs wont to the country
at $8.40.

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased W Ire.
Chicago, March 17. April weath
er on the 17th of March, with the
green hugs -not working strong
enough to help the bulls on wheat,
brought a collapse in all grain mar
kets after an early showing of
strength and carried prices down
sharply with a tame, finish at near
ly the inside prices. Net losses of
wheat were 2 to 3 Mcwitli May lead
ing, corn, 1 to 1 l-8c. oafs, 7-8 to
k, rye, 1 3-8 to 1 7-8c. and barley.
1 l-2c. Provisions advanced and
closed with gains of 27 1-2 to 30
points on lard, 22 1-2 on ribs and 20c
on pork.
Wheat crop reports were favorable
and the Oklahoma report showed no
damage by green bugs. This was
emphasized by the trade in general,
as also was the fact that the weath
er is two to three weeks ahead of
recent years and that the crop is
showing better promise than usual
at this season. This created a bear
ish feeling and those who bought
early expecting that the export de
mand would be strong enough to
carry prices higher and hold them,
were disappointed.
The top figures were 1 to 1 3-4e
over the finish of Wednesday with
March, $1,603-4 and May $1,521-2.
Prices Iwer at (lose.
A break of 4 cents followed with the
finish M m '-ic from th- inside figures
Around the top prices, the buying gave
out and the market appeared filled with
selling ordrs scattered among a number
of the largest houses, the execution of
which started the break when the mar
ket was found to be without supporting
orders. ... ,
Corn hroke 1c to 8Hc and closed weak
at 68'io to eSUo. Light rountry offerings
with arrivals here of 215 cars and only
432 cars at the five markets, agnlnst
367 last vear, brought elevator interests
Into the market, who bid up discounts U
to He netrer to May. Export sales were
lf.0.000 bushels at the seaboard, but no
business was reported here, while domes
tic sales were 40,000 bushels. Traders were
long earlv and sold out making the break.

Fine weather and tho weakness In other
grains, with favorable reports. for the crop

Buving of May and July was attributed
to the seaboard. Prices advanced early,
but reacted and closed at the inside.
Pit Notes.
Local traders were mainly bearish to
night, the weather end the -crop exports
being too good for this season of the year.
This, combined with the belief that there
in to be a good winter wheat crop and
the belief that the destructive species of
the green bug are doing comparatively
little damage to the crops, Is apparently
keeping the outside trade from the buy
ing. Considerable stress Is laid in certala
quarters to the trade agreement between
Great Britain and Russia. It is assumed
that Russia has very little groin to ex
port and will cut no figure, while lncaso
there should be anything to export, its
Influence would be bearish.
The seaboard does not seem to want
corn for export. Judging from the way
they are bidding, although the break in
the market today was expected to help
out a little. The country la not selling
corn and ' receipts continue to fall off.
owing to light country elevator stocks.
There are Indications of a hardening in
iha discounts on the lower grades which
are all He nearer the May than recently,

A round lot Canadian wheat was re
norted bought by Minneapolis mills to
day for five-day shipment. Xo. 1 North

day or tMc over the May. May then
closed at $1.78S.
Reports that there was aronna o.uou

and Port Arthur, waiting to unload were
authorltlvely denied today. jnere is
plenty of room left in the elevators and
lake navigation opens April 15. Of the
20,000,000 ousnei in store, it is estimated
that farmers own 75 per cent
' Omaha wheat that was going to Chi

account of the advance in exports bids.
Two cars of No. 2 hard winter from Om -ha
sold here today at mc over March
against 2c over the previous day. There
was also some carried over as holders re
fused to accept the reduced bids.
Dry weather talk is increasing from
Nebraska and Kansas and rains would be
decidedly beneficial in some sections, es
pecially in the light son territory.

Xew York, March 17. Except for
further recovery in foreign exchange
rates and recurrence of the 6 per cent
rate for call money, nothing occurred
in today's market to give any new
view of the general situation. On
the stock exchange, pressure by prin
cipal speculators for the decline was
resumed, but with some uncertainty
of purpose, for heavy selling of the
railway shares, which caused numer
ous rapid declines in the early hours,
was followed fitst by large purchases
of industrial shares and then by
similar purchases of the railways.
The result was a market of great
irregularity and a fairly even balance
of net advances and declines.
Market Confused.
On the whole the gains were more em
phatic than the losses, but the movement
in prices was so confused all day as to
make It difficult to describe the market
as a whole. Railways shares closed
lower iu nearly all cases, but with sub
stantial recoveries from the bottom prices
of the day. '
Money loaned at 6 per cent again on
the stock exchange ad lower In the
street, in the moderate general recovery
of foreign exchange, the advance In
Italian rates were noteworthy, but it ap
peared to have no other cause than a
hopeful stutement by the Italian represen
tatives in this city regarding Italy's fi
nancial outlook. Some interest was taken
In the government labor bureau's monthly
average of commodity prices. During
several months that bureau's compilations
Indicated a much lower pace of decline
than wns reported by the commercial es
timate. It now reports, however, an
average decline of 5 3-4 per cent last
month and of 38 1-2 from the highest of
Chicago Lire Stork.
