Consular Reports on European
Orange Product
THERE is AN AVERAGE CROP
But Shipments to America Are Likely to
Be Small
European rlerchants Were Disguised With
Last Years Experience In Shipping
Citrus Fruit to This Country

The Philadelphia Ledger thus summar-
ises the reports of United States conSuis
resident in the several lemon and orange
producing sections of Europe
"ConsuIs Charles Ii. Caughy, William
H, Seymour and Louis II. Bruhl. sta
tion I'D respectively at Messina. falermo
and Catanin. have sent reports to the
state department with reference TO the
size and condition of the present lemon
crop at these great ports OF shipmenf.
Consul Caughy states that he has ques-
toned the leading shippers of green
fruit and many of the Messina district,
and gives as the consensus of opinion that
the crIT of both oranges and lem ons Tor
tho cunning season. will be slightly less
In quantity, but very probably superior
in quality to that of last season. Mr..
Caughy incloses interesting tables show
ing total exports from the three ports OF
1essina. Palermo and Catanla to the
United States and Canada. and the total
exports to thess countries from the Mes.
sinh district alone.
These show total of export IN the
season OF 1894 95 OF 1.91G. 81 boxes OF lem
ons, and sol, 575 boxes 81 oranges. From
the single p,rt OF Messina, in the same
period, 683, oil boxes OF lemons, and 427,-
ISL boxes of oranges. Consul Ssy mUur,
at Palermo, reports the present condition
of both oranges and lemons 1000 in that
district. He says that unless the district
experiences exceedingly severe weather
the demand upon the market made by
foreign markets are fully met with an
abundance of both ORANGES and lemons.
Consul Bruhl, at 'atania, notes that
since July OF this year no lemons have
been shipped to the United States from
that port because antecedent shipments
had carried a loss to the shippers on ac-
count of the low prices prevailing in the
United States. He notes that the Catanla
merchants are thoroughly disguised. and
that there will be o decrease of shipments
in consequences from that port. Better
prices are realized at Trieste. and the
iruit forwarded there does not have to be
so carefully selected as does that sent on
the long v0ysge to the United States. On
this account the cost of shipment. and for
fruit, is much less to the shipper using
the Trieste market than to New York or
Boston,"
The greater the disgust OIL the part of
these same Catanian orange merchants,
the better the California citrus fruit
producers will be pleased. The full bene-
fit of the Florida shortage did not accrue
to California, nor in1eed any very great
proportion Of il, because the European
dealers Immediately shipped over fruit
enough to keep the market quit ed most
of the time. If foreign fruit comes over
only in tina quantities usual heretofore,
the prospects promise thorough clean
ing up of the California crop. and at
prices which will leave some profit to the
grower.

SPRING TAILOR GOWNS.

Tailor-cloth suits in spring look more
naFty than they do AT any other time
Of the year. one Is not warm enough
for lace and fiummery, nor chilly
enough for oyercoats and stuffy fr'r.
Putv-colored cloth faced with a rather
darker tone of velvet, with hands and
sutchings to match, is the chosen tint
for those who like to be we'll turned
out" without being conspicuous. For
thin persons this double-breasted
white pique waistcoat has a gentle
manly air. particularly when the ne
and pin are subdued in true masculine
fashion Wemen are partial 10
violent ties and trivial pins, which at
once ruin the noble severity which Is
the object of their ambition. As imi-
tation Is the sineerest form of tlattery,
am sure, If our masculine gear were
not so ill-chosen, our men friends who
now tiisdain affectations of manliness,
would appreciate and be grateful for
the subtle compliment

Favorable In the Northwest.

Reports from all parts of the North
west are most favorable to fine crops.
The farmer Of Minnesota and North
Dakota seems determined to get his
inning this year. Under stimulus of
abundant rains vegetation is attaining
a remarkable growth. The season is
much in advance of last year. Encour-
aging stories come from all parts. The
Red River Valley promises to yield the
largest crop Of its long and successful
career as a producer Of small grains
The Park Minnesota Region also makes
wonderful showing There is more di-
versity too than ever before. The Flat
head Valley in Montana will break the
record this year if everything goes
right; 1895 will be business year IL
there is anything in signs.

BRIEFS FROM BILLvILLE.

Camp meeting begins today and con.
tinues until the preacher feels that he
has eaten enough to last HIM the rest
Of the year.
Our town recorder has just fined a
man $40 and costs for whipping his
wife. Our experience Is It's always
safer to let the wife do the whipping.
It's certainly cheaper.
Our pew history of the war is selling
slowly. Some people still insist in he
lieving that the war is over, though
most of the colonies are still living
We are now postmaster, tax assessor,
town marshal, clerk of council, county
surveyor, road overSeer and justice of
the peace, and we are almost making
enough to keep the paper in ink and
the family in groceries. Atlanta Com
stitution.

BEFRIENDED BY SLAVES.

In 1864 Colonel A. NJ. Benson Of Bos-
ton, together with six other Union sol
diers, escaped from the Confederate
prison at Columbia, S. c., and made
their way TO the mountains Of North
Carolina with the purpose Of passing
through to the Federal lines in Tennes-
see. Colonel Benson, one snowy night,
slept liz the barn Of J. Fl. Greenlee,
near Marion, N. G., " here he was dis
covered by one of the Greenlee slaves
named Mark. The negro did not re
port his discovery to his master, but
cared for Colonel Benson by .urnish-
ing him with food and drink for a
week until a guide could be secured to
pilot the Yankee colonel across the
mountains. Mark has since felt the
generosity of the man he thus be
frlendeI, but had not seen him since
until tilis week.--Exchange
