WHAT J. NJ. BARRIE SAW HERE
Cables Novels Made Him Take a Run
to New Orleans-Town Life

Before sailing for his home Saturday
Novelist j. NJ. Barrie consented to give
few impressions of this country.
During our short stay in this coun-
try" said Mr. Barrie, I'VE went to North
ampton, Mass, where | saw Gable, the
novelist. Then we went to Boston,
where we stayed enc week. We took
little trips from there nearly every day.
and went to Concord Salem and other
nearby places. Then We left for Buf
falo and for Niagara Falls. From there
we took the train for New Orleans.
went there principally because Gable
had written SC much about the place
What impressed you most during
your stay in this country?' asked the
reporter
The universities and colleges re-
piled the novelist They are the very
finest in the world. l don't refer alone
to Harvard and Yale Everybody knows
about these. But there are so many
other excellent ones, women as well as
men colleges.
Before | saw America" continued
Mr.. Barrie, L had thought chiefly of its
big towns. Inever realized the pleasant
life led by people in the little towns.
There l find the people all settle their own
little differences. In the big cities the
people rush so much. People all seem
to be so much satisfied with their sur
them as though they just lived for them
selves and didn't care what their next
door neighbors thought of them. They
all seem to me SO Independent. I like
that"
And what do You think of New York
city?"
1T is so unlike an English city" said
Mr.. Barrie. 1t struck me as continental
from the first glimpse | caught of il
from the cab windows While riding from
the dock to my hotel. There is a light
ness and siriness that seemed to me
rather Partisan. Then there is your
Fifth avenue. 1t is a grand street. not
at all hilly. The houses are so broken

pretty to have row of houses all bull;

could have your streets wider. | went

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Large sales of
California. Jamaica and Spanish fruits
are being made for the Thanksgiving
trade and for the holidays. T. Goodsell
of the Goodsell Fruit company last night
said that the fruit market had responded
to the excellent demand that exists just
prior to a holiday, so that prices for all
kinds of products are very good and
business active Until within a few days
low prices have prevailed, but now
prices have advanced from % to so per
cent. The last shipment of California
grapes is now coming into the market,
and yesterdays sales of Tokays and
Emperors-a grape similar to the Tokay
resulted in the fruit bringing SO to 81
per double crate of forty pounds.
The first direct steamer bringing
large cargo of new crop Sicily lemons
has just arrived. and the fruit is selling
at an average of So per box of 300 lem
ons, as against s1.75 that ruled about
month ago for similar grades.
Jamaica oranges are arriving in large
quantities and 1000 packages sold yes
terday at from $3.50 to $S.25 per box of
200 oranges. Jamaica grape fruit sold
al about 81 a barrel.
The Goodsell company yesterday re-
ceived the first lot of Mexican oranges
that have arrived this season. The fruit,
however was not in good condition, and
600 boxes sold at about $2.25 per box.
AT the salesrooms of Brown & Secomb
1855 packages of California grapes yes
terday sold at $1.1 to S3.05 per package;
go barrels of Jamaica oranges went at
"a to $425 per barrel; 125 boxes of ia
maica oranges at $2.05 to S2.Sl12 per box
and 5000 barrels of Algeria grapes at
81 621a to $1,S71a. The California grapes,
that have not quite as good Keeping
qualities as the Spanish, are being put
on the market as they arrive, and VIII
be consumed by the end of December
The choice qualities of the spanish
grapes will be put out in January.
Mr. Goodsell said that the last cargo
of Algeria grapes for the season had al
ready come in. The total importation
will be 900 barrels short of that of
last year, on account of the short crop
but prices are not proportonately
higher.

for the occasion.
