with the French product, which is large and Of
excellent quality. only thirteen boxes or the In

THE expectation OF California fruit is most
risky undertaking. 1t has been going at in

the reverse has been the case for. though the
fruit be choice and in prime condition, the COM

continent Is sure to keep down the prices Of the
California product. On account of delays in trans
portation and OF imperfect refrigeration much OF
the California fruit IS landed in London In bad
a condition that 1t has to be abandoned sold
