that the constable at Berstow had

the Nevada Southern railroad, of which
line he is business manager by virtue
OF writs OF attachment, and no active

of prosecution and conviction, constable

ing. The present crop is estimated at
$500, 900 boxes, against 1900. 900 boxes
last year, but California ie not 80 strong
a competitor with the Florida trade ae is
Sicily. Freight from San Francisco by
rail ia 871S cents a box, while from
Florida by steamer il is only 90 cents a
box, which gives Florida growers an
advantage of 37115 cents box.
Since the great increase in the growth
Of oranges in Florida and California the
trade in Havana oranges has dwindled
into com parstive insignihcance. Havana
oranges come in barrels, each containing
from 400 to 500 oranges, and are selling
at from So to 81 80 q barrel. They have
been firm in price since the opening OF
the season. Sicilian oranges come in
boxes containing from 300 to $50 eacn,
and Florida oranges in boxes containing
from 96 to $50 eAeh. Navel oranges come
mainly from California ami form only
about 10 per cent of the whole crop, or
about $50. 600 boxes. They command
from so cents to $1.50 more than the
ordinary oranges. Mandarin, tangeriue
and grape fruit oranges come mainly
from Florida, and are of limited supply.
Msndarins are from $l.60 to So box,
tangerines are SO box, and grapefruit
from $3.50 to $3.50 box and 81 to So a
barrel, At the opening OF the season
Sicilien oranges we're from 81 20 TO $2 a
box. and are now from $1.50 to $2.76.
Spanish oranges from Valencia have
been practically shut out in late years
on account OF the duty on oranges.
Formerly there were from 10000 to
| 200 900 boxes imported annually. Last
wear only about 5000 boxes were re.
| oeiyed, but this year it is estimated
that from 20 900 to $4,000 boxes will
| be received, on account of tho bad
condition OF the Florida crop. They
! come in cases, each containing from
| 420 to 740 oranges. Those which con-
tain 42O are selling for from $2.75 to 81
a case, and these containing TAO from
1925 to $4 90.
There is diversity of opinion SO tS
what constitutes the beat oranges, some
preferring the sweet Florida oranges
and some the more acid ones from Sic
| ily; bat evidence in favor of the Florida
oranges exists in the fact that wher
they are in condition they commenf
higher prices than their Sicilian rivals

from Rodi, Sicily, and near the end o
the season they are frequently sold a

There has been great decrease II
the quantity Of oranges imported in re
cont years until this year. In the sea
son OF 18S6-87 there were ,79S COO boxe
imported, against 682, 900 ia 1892

Failing Eyes.

generation Of civilized men must have
deteriorated good deal" said an ocu-
list to me the other day. II am called
upon to examine sernany young persons
nowadays whose eyes show no symp-
toms of disease or strabismus but are
simply unable to do the ordinary amount
of work required of schoolhoys, school
girls, college students OF moderate read
ers without showing symptoms Of over
work.
This weakness seems to be constitu-
tional, and glasses are required which
lessen the muscular strain oh the eyes
only. In spite of the Invention of the
typewriter, which has relieved the eye
OF SO much work, the state of things is
almost equally as prevalent in business
circles as among students. New York

AN AVERAGE CROP.


Many Northern Grain Fields Saved by
the Late Showers.
The Call says that a few showers like
those of last week between now and the
middle Of May, it is said, will insure
nearly an average grain crop for the
state, Certain factors have combined
to render tho effects OF the almost un-
precedsnted drouth OF March and the
sreA ter portion OF April less injurious to
the growing wheat and barley than was
antioipa ted.
On much of the west side Of the San
joaquin little will be raised. In other
section OF the great central plain there
are spots which are beyond redemption,
but throughout q large portion OF the
Sacramento valley, good section,
though not an extremely large one, OF
the upper San joaquin, and in the coast
counties, good yield OF grain is almost
assured.
The rainfall was general, extending
fIom Puget sound ports down the coast,
and reaching as far as Los Angeles az its
extreme southern limit, where a trace
of precipitation was recorded.
