INCREASED DUry.
California Frult-0rowers cIamorous for Pre-

NEW York, N. r., April TO-
The old adage that prophet Is not
without honor save in his own country,
applied to things material, makes plain
whyit 10 that, While the California
fruit growers are clamoring for In
creased duty on oranges aud fruits In
general from Sicily and other European
growing regions, yet at the same time
California oranges and grapes are
driving the European crops from the
English market, and realizing prices
satisfactory both to shippers and mid.
dlemen. The only explanation to be
obtained among the Wholesale fruit
dealers Of this city is that the English
are more partial to California fruits
than are the American people them
selves, and that consequently 1t is neces-
sary to put prohibitive tariff upon the
European product, ID order to force an
American market for the American
growers.
II is noteworthy 10 this connec-
tion that the average retail price OF
California fruits In London is from
10 to 10 psr cent. lower than charged
in New York, Chicago and other Am
erican cities for the products Of the self
same orange plantations and vineyards.

LIVE MAIL MATTER.

inquiries directed 10 the post-ofice de-

within the postal union, the govern

The inquiries in question hive de-

holes, are allowed in the mails OF
nearly every country; but the govern
ment takes the ground that in this

OF breakage happening to consign-
ment Of live bees, the creatuI es would
