ganizsd associations-the Orange Grow
ers and Packers Protective association
and the Riverside Fruit exchange
promise to work wonders in the success
ful marketing OF this seasons orange
crop. The first named is an association
OF the packers, the other of the growers,
Of the valley. Much opposition was
manifested some time ago relative to the
manner in which the crop should be
marketed. The growers wanted larger
price for their fruit, and the packers
were not in a position to grant any
heavier margin on the ssles. The mar
ket for oranges was not = and
is not now - in a condition
to warrant heavy shipments.
The difficulty existing has been AMIGA
bly, settled by the organization OF the
aforementioned associations, and it is
thought that Riverside's orange crop for
this season will be far in advance in
price and quantity of any previous crop.
Up to last evening the total number of
carloads of oranges shipped from here
this season amounts to 131, or 81 ,466
boxes. 1t will be seen by this that
shipments are not being forced upon a
dull market.
