AFLoRIDA ORANGE EXCHANGE
Tricks In the Fruit Understanding
Against Commission Men.

FTO}n the Mem York Tribune.
The orange trade in New York is con-
trOlled by commission merchants. The
consumption OF the fruit has been increas-
ing steadily for years and the supply has
hardly kept pace with the demand. Still.
prices remain about the same and the
grower makes little money. Until recent
ly he has been content to let things keep
along IN the old rut, growing occasional
~ at his short income from his fine crop,
but charging IL all up TO hard times on
general principles. Recent investigation
has shown him that there is a certain fac
tor IN his business which hitherto he has
overlooked, and the finding of il has wax
enod him 20 new energy. That factor Is
the peculiar way in which some commits
sion merchants do business, as exposed by
certain growers from Florida.
One OF these latter, now in this city,
gives bis experience with the trade

"Only one. Every man must sell his
own fruit"
''But small growers can't afford to do
that here.''
''They're gettingr ready to do it any way.
How? Why, we have organized for that
purpose. Growers large and small have
come together in Florida and formed an
association to be called the Orange Ex-
CHANGE It's general headquarters will
be at Jacksonville, and it will have sala-
ried agents in every city of respectable
size 10 whom all the fruit will be con-
signed. The grower will send his crop to
the exchange, where it will be carefully
assorted and graded and shipped to the best
market. There will be no danger of a
glut anywhere. II New York is supplied
shipments will be stopped in that direc-
ton and sent to Chicago or Philadelphia.

Estimating the entire importation of
smoking opium for 1885 at 10000 pounds,
would give total importation for the
past three fiscal years Of 3l9,2l9 pounds,
an annual average Of 1O6, 4l6, which is
about the quantity imported in 1882.
In explanation OF his theory that the
increased rate of duty on smoking opium
has reduced the revenue receipts about
81, 100000 per annum without checking
the opium habit. the writer I'm the Sun
SAYS: "The imports of crude opium,
which is used 10 manufacture morphine
and quInine and other drugs, are daily
becoming larger. The duty on that kind
Of opium is only 81 per pound. y
Since this duty of $40 was imposed new
industry has sprung up on the Pacific
coast. 10 is the manufacture OF smoking
opium from the crude article. This in
dustry is carried on very extensively in
California" 10 is doubtless true that
crude opium is purchased in the manner
and for the purpose alleged, but an ex-
animation Of the figures given above does
not Indicate that crude opium is so used
~ the extent charged. Assuming
that the Imports iUr the last three
months OF 1880 were proportiOnately
as large AS for the preceding nine
months, the imports for the year would
be 32i,57S pounds, and for the past two
years $50, 1924 pounds. against B12,1
pounds for the two years ending June 30,
1882. II the imports Of both crude and
smoking opium for the three years ending
June 30 last be compared with the three
years ending June 30 1882, IL will be
found that for the period first named. the
total was about 1.i35,0 pounds. AGAINST
t,il5, $50 pounds for the last. This does
not show much Increase. However, the
official figures OF imports show that the
increased rate Of duty on opium, under
the act Of March 3. 1883. has checked the
importation Of that article and has re-
duced il about 70 per cent. The purchase
Ofthe crude opium and It's preparation Tor
smoking Is a matter with which Congress
cannot Interfere. That is a subject for
state aud municipal legislation.
