The Cunard S. 8. Co. will handle the shipment free of charge from New York to Liverpool and the Clyde S. S. Co. will deadhead it to New York, while it is reasonably sure that the At- lantic Coast Line R. R. Co. will carry the fruit free eo Jacksonville. This will not only be a charitable thing to do but will also help to in- troduce the Florida orange ana grapefruit into Great Britain again. Any grower willing to aid in this good cause is asked to communicate with the secretary of the Board of Trade at once.
