LONDON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says: It an idle day in the stock markets here business be- ing checked by the progress of the settlement and the uncertainty to a change in the Bank of England rate Thursday.

 The Paris market IS much exercised over the question of gold shipments to the United States. There rise in sterling both at Paris and at Berlin, the strength in Berlin exchange being due to covering purposes by Germany on a large mass of maturing bills which London vii not renew.

THE USE OF FANCY LABELS.
ITALIAN FRUIT EXPORTERS GOING IN
FOR CHRONIC LITHOGRAPHS be-

There are few fields in the world of merchan-
disc where the art OF the photographer Is not
employed for the purpose Of making the goods
appear better and to attract attention to them,
and the purchaser has become used to the fancy
label and the chrome Autograph, but 1t is not
gene rally known that Italy has followed the ex-
ample Of this country, and its fruit exporters are
spending much money in decorating the lemons
which are sent to this country.
There are about two hundred exporters of the
fruit in Palermo and Messina, and each concern
has its private mark brand by which it's
goods are known. This brand appears on the
outside of the boxes, and purchasers buy by the
brands as buyers of calicoes and muslins do in
their line of business. The difference is that
brand in drygoods is usually voucher for the
quality, while the manner Of packing, the
weather, the place of storage on the vessel and
the length of time in port determine the quality
of fruit and while the wholesale dealer may be
guided by the marks, the retailer usually exam
ines the fruit and buys regardless of brand.
The exporters now so step further and wrap
the top layer of every box in tissue paper. Each
lemon is rolled in piece OF tissue paper on
which the trademark of the exporter is printed
and in addition to this each box contains large
