anges everywhere. On going ashore, we
found all the fruit wareh ouses full of or
anges, in fact they were piled up until
the docks could receive no more. AS
near as we could learn from the different
fruit merchants there were then, upon the
markets, unsold, about 10000 cases
(equal to nearly lis, 900 boxes) besides
large quantities in the warehouses that
had not been removed owing to the de-
pressed condition Of the market. We
viewed this with depressed feeling and
though we knew our fruit was far supe-
rior to any on the market, we also knew
that our boxes only held about half as
many oranges as the Spanish cases, and
they were only bringing from 5s to IS
($1.2O to $1.92) per case, the general
depression must work against our fruit.
AS stated above the ship anchored off
Fresh Wharf, where she expected to dis
charge her cargo, but owing to the wharf
being already full of oranges, the ship

which consumed the larger part of the
day, so that nothing could be done
toward unloading till Monday at 8
o'clock. This was unfortunate for had
the ship been able to discharge at Fresh
Wharf, the fruit could have all been out
of the ship by Saturday at midnight; as
it was the last box was not out until
Tuesday afternoon, as the working hours
On the London dock at this time of the
year are from 9 to with one hour for
lunch. This time may suit the English
ship owners, but in America it would not
be tolerated.
In the meantime we had met Mr.. B.
Shaw to whom the cargo was consigned
and also the manager of the Campeon &
Goodsell Co. Limited, who were to have
the disposition of the fruit. Every cour-
tesy that could be desired was given us.
AS soon as the oranges commenced
coming out of the ship, it was apparent
at once that those having the sorting
and classifying in charge had struck
something new, in the American stem
Gil mark, however; with little inst1uc
ton they we're easily understood and
the sor ting went merrily on.
METHOD OF UNLOADING.
1t was unfortunate in more ways than
one that our oranges struck such glut-
ted market; not only as regards prices,
but as to handling, etc. If the oranges
had been unloaded at Fresh Wharf, each
box would have been carried out on the
head and shoulders of the carriers. These
carriers are stout fellows who have easad-
die, or large pad, so made that it rests
on the shoulders and back of the neck,
with strap or band passing around the
