carrying small stocks, and these are
fast depicting, and are being patched
up on a sort of hand-to-mouth policy
The situation in England is the same,
except that there is no loose stock, and
her demands fully take up all the crop

OLIVES IN DEMAND.
Oroville Mercury: The men who
have planted olives are coming out on
top. When California orchards first
began to bear, and growers began to
look about them for a market. they
found that a demand for their product
must be created This has been done,
and to-day the grower of olives has no
difficulty in finding a, market for his
product. while the dealers experience
difficulty in securing a sufficient guam
tny to supply the demand.
This condition is very plainly shown
by the experience of Judge Gray III
marketing the product of his famed
AIeurt Ida orchard. With 100 acres
of his gearing olive trees h,f ands it
i'm possible to fill the orders for pickles
and OIL His entire crop of cured olives
was SOLD last fall at a good figure. and
buyers are already after this years
crop.
The Judge informs US that from the
East as we'll as from San Francisco
ri To
The firm that purchased last year
crop wants the whole crop of 80. A
Chicago dealer writes that he can
handle in quantity such olives as be
has seen from the Mount Ida rancho.
Small dealers in various places write
that they want to be supplied with
them this year: all of which goes to
show that the California olive has al
ready created a greater demand than
the present production can supply. The
! California olive has a great future be-
fore it.
