New York, Feb "a conference was
held today of all the large exporters
of American fruits to consider the I'M
expected attitude of Prussia in prohib-

fruit were either in transit or already
at German ports, which. under the new
ruling, would be prohibited from enter
ing. AS the fruit viii not keep, il is
probable that the shippers will lose
