wnEnE DOES IT GO?
OF the entire amount OF fruits Of all kinds
received here two-sixths Of it is sold: to the
shipped to points in Minnesota, Wis
cousin, Iowa, aud Canada, uhiie so per
cent Of the balance is sold to CHI
cago shippers, and the rest to grocerymen.
ceivod is consumed in the city. or the amount
sold to Eidewaik-men fully 33115 Per cent is ship
ped in small lots all over the Northwest.
The loss to tue producer by shrinkage, break
age, and decay is about per cent OF the whole
amount. by tho time the fruit reaches the con-
sumer only about 80 per cent Of it is left. OF
Tho early fruit 90 per cert OF the amount re-
celyed is consumed in Chicago.
How IT PAYS
There are very few houees in the city hand
making money. In the ranks Of these commits
sion men are found veterans who have made
their weary pilgrimages Of tho street for quar-
ter OF a century. and whose opinions are receiv-
ed III law and gospel by their moro Juvenile
brethren. There is ono firm which commenced
business on the street upward Of five: years ago
whose bank account to-day shows handsome
balance of nearly $4,000. There arc but few
failures to record, and those which hare occurred
haTc tecn Of no great magnitude. The conclu-
sion forced upon one By continued round Of
the street and peep 1t several balanoes in
bank" is, that in proportion to the amount OF
capital invested there is no legitimate bueiness
within the limits Of Chicago that pass 80 largely
and surely IS docs the traffic iu fruits. To tho
producer tho result is not always 30 gratifying.
Money was made this season in Southern fruits,
while on Michigan fruit the margin has been
small, il . small loss does not stare the shipper
in the face Some carloads OF California fruit
have been sold for less than enough to pay the
freight. One firm recently paid 5000 freight |
on ten carloads Of fruit. California fruit has |
norer proved paying Investment to the shipper |

The question naturally arises,
WHERE DOES IT ALL COME FROM ?
The fruit season proper commences about the
middle Of May. aud is uahered in by the appear~
a''ce OF 7he strawberry. which comes 70 US at
first f;om Tennessee and AlsbanE, the greatest
Quantity being shipped from Mobile. They are
packed III 24Quart cases. As the sun travels
north and the season becomes warmer. the sup
ply-points crawl up tho road through Mississippi,
Tennessee. and Illinois; in this State the
country adjacent to Golden, Centraiia
Carbondale, and Alton being especially adapted
to raising fruit of superior quality, and from
this section large percentage Of our shipments
are received. As The season becomes still moro
advanced, the Chicago market is supplied from
the North,. Michigan furnishing tho greater
quantity. a very large percentage OF the fruit
from that State is shipped from st. Joseph and
Benton 4arboz. At the time we first receive
early fruits from the North, the late fruit from
cuples from four to five weeks III its journey
northwa1d. All early Southern fruit is shipped
BY express, and a!l peaches arc packed in boxes.
The strawberry y-seascn lasts until July l, black
raspberrles and blackberries taking their place.
These last until nearly October. Apples are
first received in June, and fall on the
same line Of march as does the berry, as indeed
do all fruits received. Peaches trnt como into
market about July 4, commencing with Haie's
EARLY. Pears make their appearance about July
10, the old favor1Ie, the BARTLETT, coming first
Flums come into wow near tho 1st OF Septem-
Der. and are followed By the golden ounce about
thirty days thereafter. The grape first shows
itself in the middle Of July.

iustltiable pride New Orleans does not
enjoy. If there are laws on her statute

are dead letters. Her authorities are either
unable or unwilling to execute them. The
consequence is that our housekeepers are
annoyed by the cons: ant invasions Of proc
fessional begsars. and our streets axe
infested with the same.
This disgrace Of public msndicancy has
one feature which is sometimes worse than
annoying, it is dangerous, and in the course
of nature not unlikely to entail disastrous
consequences reaching to the next genera.
ton. We allude, of couse, to the revolving
circumstance of tender women being CON.
PEELED to endure the sight Of MANNED ard

says:
Representative Stone. Of Missouri, to-day
secured decided Endorsement of resolu-
= rion looking to the defeat OF the towboat
monopoly which now holds control OF the
mouth OF the Mississippi river. Mr.. Stone
introduced resolution with a preamble,
Getting forth that this towboat association,

Twin its power to render any Improvement
Of the channel valueless. and tLa. II was
opposed TO any improvement: tAat !. had.

TO Alexander Stephens was not the only

equal to that was the way he ''stepped on
Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky. He cited histori-

Of negroes in the revolutionary war, as evi.

to the war of 1912, also, ne said:

column. they pressed upon them at the

valur on that occasion that il evoked from
their great commander the warmest en-.
c0niums, as will be seen from his dispatch
announcing tie brilliant victory.
