A Large supply hut Prices May Remain
High,

A Large supply But Prices May Remain
High.
Oranges are coming into the markets
in larger quantities and the prices are
good and from present appearances are
likely to remain 80. The crop Of oranges
is said to he about the same as that of
last season. Florida growers ure said
TO be holding the product of their
groves for the purpose uf securing the
highest prices which at present promise
to eurpass those prices received last
year. A few years ago the dealer could
buy orange groves 10 Florida at the
rate of 81. 30 TO 50 per crate ou tho tree
and this season the owners of the
groves have refused offers of 81 30 and
will hold On for the purpose of obtaining
much better prices
Tho oranges nuw in this market are
in good demand at 40 cents per dozen.
This means Sc. 80 per crate. These
are of the Manatee varieties and are
very iino fruit. The growers of Florida
are wide awake and as the Mediter-
ranean and West Indies fruits do not
come in competition with our fruits
this year there is good chance for tho
Florida growers to obtain fancy prices
for their products. Ii is probable that
the growers will demand at least SAssper
crate throughout the season.

Washington, April 9.-Representa-
tive simpson. of Kansas, declared that
he will carry into effect his threat TO
block any business which the House
may attempt to do by unanimous CON
sent before the Speaker has appointed
