MONEY, STOCKS And BONDS.
STOCKS MOVING MORE FREELY, BUT
BUSINESS POORLY DISTRIBUTED.
The Cuban Situation Is still Hanging
Heavily Over the Market-The
Close WINS Weak and Lower

General ease and a light demand for
money continues everywhere. AT the East
the situation has steadily grown in the IA
vor of borrowers and rates are lower again.
and yet there is reported want OF life
to the loan market. New York banks. IN
consequence. have stopped paying interest
on daily balances OF nearby banks and the
ACCESSIBILITY of cutting down the rate al

of s11 .O61. 100 in loans. and an increase OF
l4559. .O0O in deposits. Specie increased Sfl,-
200 and legal tenders S.NOS0O. But there
was decrease OF SS50050 in the surplus
making it now $Sl. .606,350 in excess OF the
% per cent rule. These figures show a
superabundance of money in New York.
While there was big increase in loans,

the gains in deposits were even larger,

The Italian Orange and Lemon Crop.

Washington. Dec. 15.-An estimate of the
coming Italian orange crop is supplied to
the state department by United States
Commercial Agent Huntington, at Castel-
lammare. He says the crop of Sorrento or

size and color. The quantity will be about
two-thirds of an average. The first cut
commenced November 10. Prices were Sl.l5
G1.54 per box and the first shipment will
reach New York in time for the Christmas
trade The new crop of lemons exceeds
that of last year and the quality is very
fine. Gathering will begin in May. The
Importation of shocks from America to
make orange boxes has developed enor-

producers Mr. Huntington suggests that
duty be imposed on boxes made of foreign

and lemons. however. will destroy the trade
entirely and deprive the masses in the
United States of healthful. cheap fruit.
The walnut and filbert crops are short in
quantity but excellent in quality. Mr..
Huntington dwells at some length upon the
evils that have resulted from the system
practiced by American fruit exporters last
season of making large advances of money
to Sicilian shippers in order to secure con-

commerce and caused great loss to Ameri-
