Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. ' The canners are after Bartlett Pears and are willingly paying $20 per ton, Some are buying them second hand from Eastern shippers as high as §%. The fact is. the usual glut in | fruit did ot come to hand this year, much to the surprise of the whole trade, and nobobdy seems to understand why. Some think that the | crop of all fruits is much less than expected two months ago; others that the Eastern and Northern demand has been so great that all the surplus has been taken to satisfy it. What- ever the cause, however, we are certainly hav- ing one of the best fruit seasons for six or | seven years, and it bids fair to continue so. There is no accumulation of stock, and both ners and Eastern shippers are obliged to living prices to obtain supplies. $12@%: Youns America. 3 0 stern, 15@16c per . pa: Oranges and Lemons are In better supply and | weaker. | Supplies of Peaches, Apricots and Plums are | moderate and all are steady.
