NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Today's stock
market was perfunctory affair, dealings
being on an abnormally light scale and
fluctuations, generally speaking. fraction
al. Traders, during the greater part of the
session, worked on the bull side in anti
cipaton of a decidedly favorable bank
statement. owing to the heavy gold i'm
ports. The exhibit failed to. come up to
expectations, although the shipments of
currency by the banks to the interior were
lighter than had been .pre-fgured. The

publication of the bank statement recess

WALL STREET SPECULATION
The Eastern Lemon Market Dem0ralized
for the Season
Demoralized by the Dumping Of Low
Grade Fruit-Good Prices Realized
for California Lemons.

The Commercial bulletin in its issue of
last Friday says:
The lemon market Of this country never
was in worse condition than this season.
The reason has been the dumping of vast
number of inferior lemons from Sicily at
New York. So serious have been the re-
suits that a vigorous effort is now being
made to establish some system of inspec-
ton at Mediterranean ports so as to pre-
vent the shipping of this rubbish. The
New York Journal of Commerce says on
this subject:
"A movement is now on foot in Sicily
Ior a system of inspection of fruit intend
ed for expectation, which may. If gener-
any ADOPTED, remove the source of good
deai OF past and present difficulties in the
trade In this country. One of the leading
causes of the heavy losses in the lemon
trade this season was the inferior quail
ity Of the fruit shipped from Sicily. Adj
vices have recently been received that ar.
engagements rang for preventing shipments of
poor fruit another season have already
Deen perfected at Catania, Italy, and SIM
liar plans have been proposed at Palermo

reau, which will inspect all fruit intended
Tor export to America, and issue certfi
Gates to the exporters Of all such fruit as
Is considered merchantable and suitable
certificates will be requ red as a requisite
for shipment Of the fruit"
80 serious has been the depression that
prices ran down to $100@1.5O per box in
The lemon trade of this country is Of
great Importance Some few weeks ago
reports from New York showed a stock
OF $1,000 boxes unsold In that city, and
there We're 100000 boxes aiioat for the same
point. This was 10000 boxes more than
at same date the year before, and prices
We're 81 lower than then. To August 31st
arrivals at New York for the season were
l,535,0 900 boxes. in 1895; this year to the first
OF August, 1,93996S boxes.
All this is most interesting to Southern
California, where there Is fairly large area
of excellent lemon territory. 1t is not
very large hardly sufficient to produce
enough for the present population of the
country; and not large enough by any
means to supply the population sure to
be here in twenty years. In view Of the
facts there is no investment likely to prove
so good MS a lemon orchard. on suitable
soil with sufficient soil, with sufficient
water and in favorable exposure so as
to get the best results from the. climate.
That good lemons are not seriously affect
ed by the dumping of foreign rubbish is
made evident by the following reports of

No Ratio Trick WIN win.

The trick of saying that the sixteen
TO one ratio is nE material, which APP
peared as an afterthought shortly be-
fore Altgeld made his Chicago speech,
will not go. The sixteen to one formula
is in all the silver platforms, with one
or two very recent exceptions, and now
it will not down at the bidding of any
silverite conjurer.
The plan of leaving the question of
ratio to congress will not deceive any
honest money man nor will it satisfy
any silyerite who is in dead earnest. To
drop to sixteen to one formula would
offend the silverite rank and file and
send them over in a body to the separate
silver party or the populists, while it
would not satisfy any sound money
man. A platform demanding free coin
age at thirty to one or any other ratio
would not satisfy any honest money
man.
The Chicago convention must say
either sixteen to one or gold standard.
There is no middle ground, for neither
free silverites nor sound money men can
by any possibility be induced to stand
on such uncertain ground.
This money question has been vexing
the business public. holding all indus
tries in terror and suppressing all enter
prise altogether too long. 1t is high
time to have il settled and settled with
such a profound thud that no dema-
gogue will think of bringing it out
again with intent to befuddle and be-
fool the people for whole half century
TO come. 1t is time for this generation
to have done with this distracting
lunacy and settle down to solid business.
