LEMON SUPPLY SHORT. California Growers Raise Prices of Best Grades. SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 (Spe- clal). —Indications are that consumers will pay more for their lemonade dur- ing the hot months than at any time in many years. The California Fruit Growers' Exchange has increased the price of best grades of lemons 256 cents, to $3.75 a box, and this advance is expected to be followed by others until $5 a box is reached.

NEW YORK, April 24.—Coal Age, New York, reports the coal market today as follows: Inactivity is the prevailing condi- tion in the coal markets of the coun- try. From week to week there is little noticeable change either in de- mand or price, the general tendency being downward. The condition of the market is rather strikingly jndi- vated by the bLids received April 18 oy the United States Shipping Board it New York for 1,065 groes tons of vituminous coal of either pool 9§ or i1 quality, the quotations ranging on a f. 0. b. mine basis as low as $1.03 per net ton. Several railroads have signed up for fuel supplies for the coming year, but the closing of in- custrial “contracte still leaves much to be desired, these consumers weem- ing to buy only for immediate re auirements. There is no demand for tonnage for lake movement, and every indication points to a late start of | the shipping season. | Ab tne poesibility of a strike of British coal miners grows more re-| { mote another possible source of busi- | ness to the American coal producer is | fading like a mirage. Nevertheless, one of the few bright &pots in the trade was the export activity at Bal- timore last week. On April 16 and 17 | 32,190 tons of cargo coal were loaded there for foreign countrics, and the total shipments during the first eight- ecn days of the month were only 2,000 tons less than those of the entire month of March.

Demand is lacking from practi all sources in the Kentucky m ave from a lttle buying by which are taking some to storage when they are not busy Prices, however, are fairly firm ail along “the line.
