Strong Demand for Oranges for
the Holidays
THE SHIPMENTS TO DATE
Are Much Larger Than Those Of
Former Seasons
fcar-Canned Goods Move Slowly
Though q Small Pack

During Saturday and Sunday seventy
carloads of oranges left Southern Cali
fornia for eastern points, and for the sea-
shipped. The demand is strong and will
continue to be until the last day on which
fruit can be shipped from here with any
fair degree of certainty of arrival at its
eastern destina ion before Christmas. A
considerable falling off is expected after
that time, and still greater diminution
of demand after the New Years demand
has been filed. After the latter date
oranges will be iu demand for eating pur-
poses only, but as the orchards have been
ransacked with much thoroughness for
oranges even fairly colored, the demand is
likely to exceed the supply.
The season promises better, on the whole,
than any other which the California oran, g
grower has known. The Mexican crop was
bought up for delivery during the holiday
season, and is already very nearly disposed
of, the Jamaica product is still more nearly
disposed of and will cease to be q market
factor after the first of he new year; there
is no other fruit to compete with the Cali
fornia product except that from the Medi-
terranean, and that can only be imported
at prices which yield good returns to the
Pacific coast growers, as dealers last year
found to their sorrow.
The cold weather prevailing just now will
delay ripeniDg, but that fact will produce
no evil effect beyond making the season q
little later.
Under the system pursued by the en-
changes no fruit will be shipped until it is
fairly ripe and ready for market; but when
it is ready it will be forwarded promptly,
,I..Ss e
glut the market and knock the bottom out
of prices.

,anned Goods

The Cutting Packing company says that
the market is practically clear of extras
in everything but plums. Standard apri.
cots are in full stock and large buyers
might make favorable prices. Extra
peaches are about cleaned up; standards
are only in fair supply, and the market is
very firm; seconds are neglected although
there is not much of stock remaining in
first hands. Pears are we'll cleaned up on
all qualities. Plums, both standards and
extras. are in good supply, perhaps an
oversupply.
The company estimates the fruit pack of
this year at about 80 per cent of 1894. A
careful estimate of the California fruit
crop as u whole, including that used for
shipping green, drying and canning, has
been made and fixed at about 70 per cent.
Taking all these factors into consideration
and adding to them the stats les of the
pack throughout the east, it seems fair to
believe that stocks carried over into the
spring of 1896 ought to realize cost and
selling expenses.
Tom Atoes are quiet, and it is doubtful
whether the high prices anticipated by
holders in October will be realized. The
PACK will doub less not exceed 10 per cent
of 1894, and not much movement Is looked
for in any line before February.

In the SusGuehahna.

Lock Haven, Pa, March S-The
breaking up of of the heavy ice on the
Susquehanna has resulted in a great
gorge 10 miles in length, forming above
this city. The jam extends from
Queens run to Glen Uuion. The ice
broke on flood and there was not suf-
ticient water to carry it off. There was
a feeling of unrest in this city last night,
but tO>day it is thought the jam will not
break on the present Hood, as the water
IN the rear of the gorge IS now falling on
the pool of the dam. At this place the
ice remains intact. Passengers who ar
rived here on the Philadelphia and Erie

masked men, dressed in long ulsters
They climbed over the tender into the
cab, and before the engineer or fireman
was aware of their presence, they had
the trainmen covered with their revolv-
erS, and ordered the engineer to slow
up. One of the highwaymen kept the
engineer under guard, while his partner
took the fireman to the baggage car, and
there compelled him to uncouple it from
the train. He returned to the cab with
the fireman, and ordered the engineer to
90 ahead.
After running short distance the en-
gineer was ordered to stop, but as he
slowed up the fireman grappled with one
of the men, who laid him low with a
blow from his revolver. The engineer
attempted to hit his man with a wrench.
but he jumped to the ground, and with
his companion escaped into the woods.
The engine, with the baggage car un-
touched, hacked down to the train. and
then proceeded to Antelope, from where
