How New York IL Supplied With sum.
mer rDelIcacIcS-Priccs Paid for Them.
NEw YoRE, March liver since the
middle Of January the shop windows Of
dealers in tropical and hothouse fruits have
bloomcd with strawberries OF fine size and
appearance. A reporter who had some
curiosity us TO who buys these winter straw
berries, what quantities OF them are sold,
and at what prices ventured TO ask some
questions Of one Of the most prominent
dealers in the business, and elected the
following information:
dollhouse Strawberries have been sold in
this city for many years, but the business
never attained any Importance, owing to
the uncertainty OF the crop and the enor-
nous price ut which they were valued.
This year the hothouse strawberries sold in
December and the first days OF January at
seven dollars quart, and it is no unusual
thing for eight or nine dollars to be paid.
The supply and the demand are extremely
limited, however, not more than n few
quarts week being disposed OF. Early in
january begins the Florida trade, which
sprang up in 1877 and has been gradually
increasing. Last year one firm which
does most Of the wholesale business of
this kind, brought 10000 quarts OF straw
berries 10 this city The berries
are grown in the open air all along
the st. Johns river, and are sent when
nearly ripe TO Jacksonville, where they are
packed in huge refrigcratOrs on wheels
with alternate compartments for ice and
strawberries The strawberries are in
transit four days, and the ice in the re.
irigerators has TO be renewed three times
during the journey. A special messenger
travels with each cur load OF fruit in order
TO secure great care in the handling and the
replenishing OF ice, and the fruit is in
very iair condition when it arrives here.
The lirst berries which arrived in january
were sold wholesale at 81 IL quart. The
price begins declining Ns they arrive in
greater quantities, until ut present it is %
cents to 81 Il quart ut wholesale and about
81 % at retail. Two invoices OF Florida
strawberries arrive every week. Last Sat
urdny $500 quarts arrived in excellent
condition and found ready sale ut nm
average price Of 81 quart, wholesale. BY
the beginning Of April the price falls to
thirty or forty cents quart, at which price
ii is no longer profitable business.
The neighborhood OF Jacksonville, Fla,
promises 10 become New York's winter
garden. Besides an increasing crop Of
Strawberries every year, we are now re-
ceiving large quantities Of tomatoes, packed
in precisely the same way. One hundred
boxes, each containing five quarts, ar
rived on Saturday, and sold Mt IRON 81 %
to 81 so box wholesale. Green peas in
pod are also becoming staple article Of
trade, so barrel being asked for them.
The only obstacle in the way OF extending
this new trade infinitely is the want OF
cheaper carriage and cheaper methods Of
preserving the material while in tnnsit. Ice
is dear in Florida, but all attempts TO trans
port these early fruits without ice have

NOTWITHSTANDING all the tRlk about the
HemPfeld extension going forward ut an
early day, &c, the truth is that the work
hs been substantially abandoned for an
indefinite time by the Baltimore & Ohio
Company. Mr.. Garrett does not know his
own mind on the subject. II he could get
the money needed for the extension ut four
per cent-as he could have done q year
aso-if he had free right Of way, and il
material and labor were as cheap as in
lS1V, aud the boom in coke as decided us
1t is to-day-he would probably proceed
with the work. But innsmuch MS these
conditions are not in his favor to-day, he is
scared atihe idea Of putting in the money
now necessary to do the work that he
ought to have done long ngo. Waiting on
AF Garrett to anything is simply keep
luS the word Of promise to the ear and
breaking it to the hope" This is the
