Prospects for the Orange Crop-Effect
OF the Quarantine on the Market

prospects Tor the Orange Crop-bHect
OF the Quarantine on the Market.
what is the prospect for oranges this
sessonY'
"Flattering. This year will witness the
largest Orange crop that Florida has ever
had" said o. prominent wholesale fruit
dealer yesterday 'The growers estimate
the crop thE season at 5000 900 boxes. This
| is about 2,010,0 700 boxes in excess OF last sea-
! son."
"Will Aere be a msrket for that number
! of boxes9'
There mil The number of boxes that
will find q market here and at the north
will not exceed the regular crop, but tho
! facilities for shipping oranges west have
been increased. There is a direct line to
Birmingham now over the Central
| railroad that will transport the
| fruit witdin days time, and
the close Connections with the Kansas City
| route will put the fruit into the west. The
expellm9nt last season OF sending oranges to
Europe Eas led the Florida growers to believe
| that thyshiprnent Of oranges to Liverpool can
be male profitable Arrangements have
been EIade with the Ocean steamship COM
panYto transport the fruit at special rate,
and this season there will be from l,O000OO
to Il 300, 900 boxes shipped to Liverpool.
TEe Ocean steamship company agrees to
1eliver the fruit i'll Liverpool within ten
days after leaving Jacksonville or Savan-
nah, at about 90 cents per box. The fruit
retails in Liverpool at from 81 so 10 So per
box"
How long will oranges keepN
about three weeks. If the weather is
cold they will keep longer"
"When will the season open"
ave have received already about twenty
boxes OF drop oranges from Florida. The
season proper begins, though, about Oct ID
and continues until about Nav |. Savannah
consumes each season about 20, goo boxes, or
about 35, coo bushels. The receipts of drop
oranges have fallen off, however. since the
fever outbreak in Jacksonville, and we will
probably receive no more. The quarantine
has cut everything off"
Twill the quarantine interfere with the
handling Of tue crop to any great extentf"
at II to IA certain extent. We do not
expect oranges in Savannah from Florida
as early this season as last In fact we do
not expect fruit from Florida until the
quarautins 10 raised"
'Wh d. the first oranges on the market

That depends largely ON the variety. II
the fruit il bright and of good size, it brings
readily 81 to IS 30 per box. Later on i'll

bought FOR from 81 80 to 50 80
The oranges that are sold in Savannah
are equally as nice and fresh as those
sold il Jacksonville We receive them
direct frcru the growers within
eight hours after they are gathered. A
great many boxes are shipped yearly from
here to the northern markets. and Savan-
nah dealer was among tho first to ship them
abroad The orange acreage III Florida is
large and increasing rapidly, and tho diff
cult problem of where they will find a
market for the large yield has found a
solution in the shipment of a portion of the
crop to Liverpool"

Tho City of Birmingham sailed yesterday
morning for Philadelphia with the first
entire cargo of pig iron that ever went
from this port, \ Ghe iron came from Bir-
mingham and Il dicates the growth of the
new industry in the south. The cargo con-
sisted of 12! car), or 2,072 tons of pig metal,

Savannah
c. G.. Anderson, agent of the Ocean
steamship company, said last night that
this is the nucleus of other and larger ship
ments. While more or less pig iron has
been going by the vessels Of the Ocean
steamship line, this is the first full cargo of
iron that has ever gone from this port,
showing the rapid growth of the Alabama
iron industry and the Georgia carrying
trade. II marks q new departure whoa

phia by the shipload, SO near the great iron
manufacturing cinter of Pennsylvania, and
is only the beginning of what must be an

city of the line, with the new steamer
added. The h'eights from Birming
ham, he says, show a marked increase,
and he expects TO SEQ a much greater in
crease before the close of another year.
There is also an increase in the passe ger
travel, especially from Birmingham, Atlanta
and Macon.
Mr. Anderson W S asked if the fever scare
and quarantineagains Florida has operated
unfavorably against tne line. He replied
that he thought not. The sales of tickets
which had been made in Florida ana which
the quarantine had compelled to be ex-
changed for railroad tickets. was such as
would not have icon made had it not been
for the fever epidemic in infected districts,
and the freight in the non-infected portions
OF Florida. There is an increase in the
passenger travel outside of Florida that
will more than counterbaance the loss from
Florida travel

The Rumpus That a Young Thief
Kicked Up on Jones Street.
Constable Colnlan met three little colored
boys on Tatnall street, near Taylor, early
yesterday morning, looking for police
man. They told the constable that a
burgler Was in their mothers house, and
she had sent them out after an officer while

Mr.. Colman hurried to the house, which
was at the corner of Jones and Tattnall
streets, and rushing i'll found a very large
negro woman holding a closet door. She
informed the constable that the thief that
had tried to rob her and her poor children
was closeted and that she intended to hold
the door until al officer came to take him
to jail Mr.. Colman informed her that he
was an officer aud would arrest the robber,
whereupon she flung open the door. A
poor little ragged, half starved negro boy
| was crouching in a corner. He was about
| ten years old, and looked as harmless and
| Door as a church mouse. The officer smiled
| as he turned to the enraged woman, and
| asked If she really wished the child arrested

can't do 1t, jes git out or heah, an femme
shut 'em up in de cloSit, till or PEERLESS comes.
Use boun ter have dat Niger saunt ter de

The woman said that she was aroused by
numbering noise in the pantry, aad upon
| going to see what was the matter she dis
| covered the little rogue in a corner going
| through valise. He had overturned pickle
| stands, had eaten all her preserves and jelly,
| aud had done a "Iot of devilment" for a
| 10-year-old CHAP.
Tho cons able made the youngster come
out from the corner, and after some ques-
tons, made him follow him up town to
Magistrate Patterson's office, where he was
| severely reprimanded and allowed to 60
Tho little negro was considerably fright
ened, and got on his knees and prayed when
the magistrate jokingly told him he would
