| HoxgY-We have not heard OF the arrival OF any
new crop yet, though It will probably rot be long
before samples are recsiyed. Painters circular
gives the receipts for last year at 1872 cases. Di-
rect shipments from the s1uthern counties to Eng
land have been prominent feature OF the trade Tor
the past season. Opinions to the txsent OF the
coming crop are conflicting. Same believe the yield
will be light while others insist that all market
needs will be amply supplied. 1t must be Temem-
bered that the local consumption Is any thing but
| great. while our only export customer, outside OF
occasional Eastern ORDERS Is England 10 meet

should rule. or the outlet will be cut OF, as Incl
dental transportation expenses leave little margin

ritory this coast, both north and south, may per-
haps afford facilities for placing the product IN other
