The Orange sunnIx.

In 1892 the orange output of Florida
was approximately 100000 boxes, and of
Louisiana about 10000 boxes. This year,
according to the best information. the
output of the two states will be not more
than one-eighth of those amounts. The
shortage of supply has sent the price up
somethink like 81 a box, with the prospects
good for an additional rise as the holiday
season approaches.
Fruit merchants have been casting
about for supply to take the place Of
have made arrangements for the importa-
ton of quantities of oranges from the
British West Indies. Central America and
Mexico. One firm in Brooklyn is under
stood to be importing Jamaica oranges
and repacking them in boxes similar to
the Florida boxes. Whether unscrupu-
lous dealers are putting this inferior
fruit upon the market as the Florida
product is an open question. 1t has been
published that such is the case. A New
Orleans commission house has arranged
for the importation of 10000 boxes of
oranges from Mexico. This. it is calcu-
lated, will about exhaust the crop that
Mexico will have for export, and will be
just little more than the deficiency in
the Louisiana crop. Like the Jamaicas,
the Mexican oranges are inferior TO the
Floridas, but they stand handling and
shipping well. They are rather thick
skinned, and are smaller in size than the
Florida fruit. The bulk of the crop from
Mexico received at New Orleans will
probably be shipped to Chicago st. Louis
and elsewhere in the middle west. The
Jamaica supply win probably be absorbed
in the east.
Meantime these importations do not
theaten the market for first-class Florida
oranges. These latter, being the finest of
their family, will find ready sale. and
command a better price than any of the
substitutes When the Florida and Louisi-
ana groves once more attain to their nor
NAL productiveness, the old market will
be found awaiting their output, just as
eager as ever to suck the nectar of the
golden fruit

Preparing for a Famine.

A few weeks ago, when the price Of
wheat began to advance it was announced
that there was failure Of the crops in
Northern India, and that that was one Of
the reasons for the increased demand for
that the talk Of famine in India was a
story Of spectators in wheat who were
engaged in putting up the price of that
article.
1t is a fact however, that Northern
India is threatened with a famine, and the
English government has begun to take
steps to provide for the wants of the
hundreds of thousands of people who will
be sufferers from it. Already many car
goes Of American wheat have been shipped
to India, and many more will follow.
famine in that section of India Is likely
to occur any year. and so a regular sys-
tenn is established for dealing with it, The
destitute are provided for by the govern
ment. Throughout the whole afflicted ter
ritory agencies are established by the gov
eminent for the distribution of food sup
plies. Neither food nor money is given
the people outright Work is provided for
them on government Improvements, and
they are paid a small compensation, just
enough to keep them from starving These
improvements are the digging of canals,
filling of swamps. constructing of rail-
roads and the improving of highways. The
government would not make these inn
provements if it were not thought to be
the wiser plan to keep the people en-
ployed while the famine lasts. To feed
them and permit them to remain idle
would breed many evils.
In the long ago. in India, famines were
regarded by the people as visitations of
Providence, and, as it was difficult to get
food supplies because of the want of means
to purchase them and also of the diff
culties Of transportation the death rate
was enormous. Now, however owing to
the railroads, canals and highways, which
the English government has had con-
structed food supplies are easily obtained
Famines are dealt with intelligently and
with comparatively small increase in the
death rate. The cost to the government
is, of course, considerable but in years of
good crops the government managers to
get back what it spends for the benefit of
the people in famine years.

prize-winners of his day.

are good for trouble between Spain and
Japan. 1t is said that the japanese have
been secretly aiding the insurgents in the
Philippine Islands, having landed $1,000

in a German paper asserted positively that
the japanese maintained closer relation

than the people Of the United States did
with the insurgents in Cuba. The Japan

Employment For the schooners.

Within few months shipping men have
expressed the fear that the American
schooner would be driven into permanent
retirement by barges in the coastwise
carrying trade. Nobody seems to have
given a great deal of attention to the pos
sibilities of the schooner in the foreign
trade, which the barges cannot invade.
1t seems to have been the common opin-
ion that, because the schooners of other
years were small affairs and only fitted for
short distances and quickly handled car
goes, vessels of the class must always re-
main in the same business. During the
last few weeks, while the demand for
freight room for grain for foreign ports
has been urgent. has there been an awak-
ening to the fact that the modern Ameri-
can schooner has in reality the carry
ing capacity and seaworthiness of the
clipper ship of forty or fifty years ago.
The up-to-date schooner is not necessa-
rily a coaster; she can be a deep-sea sailer
just as well as not. Shipping people seem
to have become aware of this all at once,
and there are from day to day reports of
charters of schooners to take cargoes of
grain to Europe. There appears to be
no good reason why the schooners of this
country should not take an important if
not a leading part in the grain carrying
business. 1t may be that they cost more
for the building than the square-riggers
of foreign country. But they are cheaper
than square-riggers of American build,
and they can be handled with fewer men
than any square-rigged craft afloat,
whether of American of foreign construc-
ton; and it is the matter of cost of man
ming that enters into the question of
profits for ocean carrying.
1t is understood that insurance people
regard schooners as greater risks than
square-rigged vessels, and therefore the
former are obliged to accept a lower rate
of freight than the latter. Why there
should be discrimination against the
schooners is difficult to understand. Some
of the three and four-mast schooners that
come into this port are undoubtedly as
seaworthy and reliable vessels as plow
the deep. Many of them are bigger and
more stable than the clipper ships that
used to be sent around the horn, and can
be operated at considerably less cost.
Schooners have for years been engaged in
the lumber trade with the West Indies.
Voyages across the Atlantic are hardly
more perilous than voyages into the tickle
Caribbean sea.
Having once entered the grain carrying
business, it is probable that the schooners
Will find it more attractive than they
thought, and will make an effort to keep
in the business. The barges are rapidly
taking away their coastwise coal and
lumber business. They will be necessa-
rily compelled to look somewhere for
employment. 1t would seem that the
grain trade offers them an opening.

The failure of Indian grain crops has
had the effect of advancing the price of
American wheat, and it may have the eff
feet later of depressing the demand for
American cotton. Receipts Of Indian cot
ton at Bombay and Calcutta this year have
been heavier than last. indicating that
the cotton crop will be full while the grain
crop is much short. The deficiency in
food crops will decrease the purchasing
power Of the people in the markets for
manufactured goods. The stocks Of man.
ufactured cottons at Bombay and Calcut-
ia are comparatively full, while the de-
mand is nominal. Thus, while midas
