THE FRUIT MA KBr ACTIVE.

Importatiops From the West Indies
Coming In-Ths Orange Trade.
Savennahs fruit trade ia very heavy just
now, though the dealers are making con-
siderable complaint Of the rotting of fruit,
on account Of the warm weather. Ship
ments of bananas and cocoanuts are being
made regularly from the West Indies.
The schooner Bertha D. Nickerson is ex-
pected to arrive to-day from Barracoa,
with bananas ana cocoanuts, for J. s. Col
Inns d Co., and will be unIoaded imne-
diately.
Florida oranges are being shipped in large
quantities now. Savannah dealers receive
largely by consignment. but they also pur-
chase considerably through the fruit ex-
change A Savannah dealer was asked
yesterday if the fruit men here had adopted
TO any extent the practice of buying the
fruit on the trees and gathering for them
selves. and he replied that they do not need
to do that on account Of their nearnese to
the crop, but that the dealers at distance
are forced TO do it to make certain of secur-
ing their supplies.
The orange crop of this year is estimated
to be below that of last year, which was
called only half crop, but was in reality
very nearly full crop. The crop is not
being marketed very rapidly on account of
the weather Oranges are bringing from
81 to 81 IS per crate, according 10 quality.
Apples are scarce and the prices very
high, ranging from "a to Sc per barrel The
orap is reported very small. and the stock
inferior.
Bananas are plentiful and are bringing 81
81 % and 81 SO. A large crop of cocoanuts
is being placed on the market. They bring
from $S6 to $40 PER thousand. December
is the coeoanut month, and an immense
amount Of the hard shell fruit will be dis
posed Of in Savannah this month. The

IN FAVOR OF THE CITY.
JUDGE FALLIGANT-S DECISION ON
THE GROUND RENT CASES

The Injunction Asked for Denied and
the Ground Rent Lots now Subject
to Taxation Unless the Supreme
Court Reverses Judge Faligants
Ruling.
Judge FaIligant rendered bis decision IN
the superior court yesterday morning in
favor Of the city in the ground rent lot
cases. The decision was brief, and is as fol
lows:
SIN the matter Of David Wells ct al. vs.
the mayor and aldermen Of the city
of Savannah ct al Injunction
In the above case, the court bsing Of the
opinion that the lots in question are sue
ject TO municipal taxation. it is considered
and ordered that the Injunction prayed for
be, and the same is hereby denied and that
the restrain ming order heretofore granted be
and TIE same IS hereby set aside
The ground rent lot cases were argued
before Judge tSlligant ia August by J. K.
Saussy. Esq, attorney for the ground rent
lot owners, and by City Attorney S. b.
Adams. Judge Falligant heard the argu-
ment and reserved his decision until
term. The petitioners in the
case were David Wells, Thomas Ballan-
tyne. Charles ii. Gilbert. John II Gilbert,
William Kehoe, Henry Blum, Mrs. Mary E.
Douglas, d. G. Purse, Robert Mcintyre and
Dennis O'ConDel.
The case grew out of the city's attempt
to collect taxes upon the ground rent
lots. in which it was only partially
successful, many of the lot owners resisting
the attempt, claiming that they held their
lots from the city and were not subject to
taxation.
fine petitioners will carry the case to the
supreme court. the position of the lot
owners is that they regard themselves as
holding the lots by a perpetual lease from
the city at specified rent, and that such
being the case they cannot be compelled to
pay taxes ON them.
II Judge Falligant's decision is sustained
by the supreme court it will materially add
TO the revenue of the city, the assessment
committee of 1880 having assessed the lots
at va.uatiOn of Sl,559, AL, and the entire
value of city property outside these lots

Alderman Bailey, chairman of the fire
committee, stated yesterday to a MORNING
NEWS reporter that the expenses of his de-
