was the Consul OF Spain at Chicago during the
Worlds Fair. and he and his wife have been making

great amount of ignorance regarding the size ana

a war with the United States. and realize the great
odds against which their country would have to

The unreasonable snowstorm that followed Easter

ness In the fruit market which has not vet re-
covered from its depression. Trade was somewhat
stimulated By the fine weather OF the latter part OF
the week but on account OF the excessive supply

especally desirable fruit sold for prices slightly
higher than those OF the preceding week. Receipts
Of these fruits continue to be heavy. ana there are
many large shipments now ahoat. There are now on
the way TO American ports from the Mediterranean
nearly 5000 boxes and over $4,000 half-boxes OF
oranges and about 10000 boxes OF lemons. These
shipments Will be followed by others. which will
keep the market fully supplied that no marked
