FRUIT-A really first-class Apple is hard to
find in the market In fact, 1t is almost useless
to hunt for such product. Offerings are mostly
of very ordinary quality, and even an article
standard. box of apples that was warranted
perfect would likely find custom at 81 above our
top rates. In Oranges there is a large margin
in values. A good deal OF stock comes forward
in poor condition, and is taken by peddlers at
about their own figures Mexican Lines are in
good supply at the moment Sicily Lemons are
also in liberal receipts. We quote: Apples.

WOOL-The Wool business is extremely quiet
We hear of no sales, and therefore can give no
| information of immediate or remote import
ance to growers or dealers. Trade in the East
continues as dull as possible, with few or no
sales being made, and no talk of expected bet
ter demand, tariff or no tariff A prominent To-
cal operator in commenting on the situation
pertinently remarks that. as matters now stand,
it is hard to say what would resurrect Wool
from the present gloom. We quote spring clip:
