THE CROPS NIPPEU BY FROSTS.
SOUTHERN FRUIT AND VEGETABLE
CROP WILL M SHORT.
Local Commission Merchants On the
FniIure-OranEcs From California
and Abrond-No Danger OF Corner
ing the Market.

Washington, Jan. THE frosts in
the gulf states have hurt the market
very considerably. Oranges are be-
coming a bit scarce and the prospect
is that there will be considerable diff
Guilty In getting supplies Of the early
vegetables that usually come about
this time from the far Southern states.
The report Is verified that the entire
orange crop OF Florida is destroyed.
One Of the leading commission mer-
chants said today that he has had pri-
Nate ddNICes to 60 to show that the
loss Is complete. a resident OF this
city he said, told him this morning
that his own grove. which has very
large annual output. will not give
bushcl vi oranges this year on account
OF the sudden and intense cold that
swept over the state last week.
As yet the erect Is not very marked,
for there has not been time Tor the
tTelghts coming in to be affected by
the disaster. It is likely that by the
first part OF next week the supply will
begin to run short, and then there may
be quite an orange famine. There Is,
however another source Of supply, and
that is the California grove. which Is
sufficiently prolific to furnish fruit for
large part Of the country. Owing
to the great difference In freight rates,
however, the Florida oranges have the
call On the Eastern markets. There is
not much business done here with
California oranges except in Just such
emergencies as this. Then, too, there
Is sure TO be a great Importation of
Sicily oranges, which are quite album
dant this year. it is reported. Jamai-
ca, too, furnishes quite supply carly
in each season, until the Florida crop
has got under way, ana then the i'm
portations from the Islands begin 10
drop off.
The foreign fruit cannot compete
with the domestic stock, owing to the
cost Of transportation,
1t would seem that there Is an effort
being made by some oran &c operators
in California to corner the market there
in view of the Florida disaster. Re
ports have come east from san Bernar-
dino, Cal. TO the effect that within the
last Few days buyers of the fruit have
been active In picking up choice lots at
an advantageous price The news of
the frosts in Florida caused a rise from
90 cents to 81 box. Extra fine grades
are being held by the growers at from
S.l0 to sl.50 box.
1t is the opinion OF merchant that
any effort to corner the market will
result sadly for the operators for the
Slc!lian and Jamaica supply Is too east
~ reached.
Beans. cabbage and some other vege-
tables are being received In small guam
utles, and II Is thought that the frosts

supply for time The shortage would
not be felt for II week yet Cabbaacs
may have been saved, for they are not
so susceptible to the frosts as the other
early growths. II there was time TO

could have been saved. II is not known
