FRUIT Notes.
At the present time the following towns,
smong many others, are being supplied
with all the California fruit that they can
use. in carload lots, from Sacramento, by
direct shipments Ogden, Salt Lake, Butte
City, Mont, Cheyenne, Denver, Omaha, st.
Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Kansas City. These cities in turn distrib
ute the fruit in smaller lots to vast num-
Der of towns that cannot use 4 full carload.
Among these distributing points Chicago is
the principal center, and daily receives a
large number of carloads. The glut spoken
OF q few days since still continues, and
shippers fear that by reason thereof the
season will not be profitable. While few
varieties of fruits may bring good prices,
they claim that the average is not Satistac-
tory i concert of action among shippers
would seem to be necessary to prevent the
overstocking of Eastern markets The va
rieties of fruit now going forward are prin-
cipally Bartlett and other varieties of pears.
plums and pruneS, peaches and some kinds
OF grapes. A noticeable feature in the
business this year is the simultaneous
ripening of the fruit in differ
ent districts which heretofore have
matured their products several weeks
apart For instance, Bartlett pears are
now being picked in orchards that have not
previously ripened till August. Muscat
and other grapes, which have usually
ripened in Naca valley several weeks pre-
vious to those grown about Sacramento, are
now apparently no further advanced than
the Florin vineyards. This fact initiates
somewhat against the growers as the crops
cannot be handled to the same advantage
as when one district is harvested before an
other IS ready. The shipping season is also
shortened considerab Shippers who
have handled much fru ,om the Sacra-
mento river have founu much difficulty
in making connections between the river
boats and cars, by reason of the delay in
the arrival of the former, owing to way
freight, sand bars, etc. The steamers are
delayed until nearly noon, whereas they
should arrive at the wharf in time for ship
pers to transfer several thousand boxes of
fruit to the cars, which leave at a few min
utes before y. The railroad people extend
all possible assistance, sometimes even
holding the train. Shippers claim that the
managers of the steamers should arrange
to have the boats leave San Francisco an
hour earlier during the fruit season, thus
assuring the arrival here at not later than 8
o'clock. Oranges have nearly disappeared
from the market. Watermelons are APP
pearing in large quantities. All kinds OF
berries have virtually disappeared.
