The California grape is fast driving out the Malaga grape. It is probable that,
 by cultivating the long-keeping Spanish 'Almeria' grapes and properly packing in cork dust, California will ultimately supply fully our trade. California is al- ready supplying the demand Of this country with raisins. Five years ago, the crop was about 5l<AQQ boxes in Cali fornia and is now 5vdF ! ,000, GOO boxes. The quality took precedence oyer the Malaga raisins and the raisips are selling at higher prices. They have nearly driv- en out Mediterranean raisins except Va lencia raisins, which are not produced in California. These Valencia raisins are Il
 low grade of fruit and principally con sumed by the lower classes. California is also competing seriously with Mediter- ranean and other European prunes. The
 quality of the California prunes com mands about cent pound higher price
 than the best European. In less than 9
 years, California will supply this coun- try fully with raisins, prunes, walnuts, almonds, olives, olive oil, grapes and,
 west of Chicago, with oranges and lem- ons and will have a surplus forsexport.
