STRAWBERRY CROP LATE.


hut the Fruit VIII Soon BE Plentiful.
Savannah's strawberry supply has been
unusually late this season owing to the
cold spell of few weeks ago, which de-
stroyed numbers of the blossoms and
young fruit, but now that the berries
have begun to come to market, the out
look is for a plentiful supply Of an unus-
ually good quality.
Last year the berries were for sale as
early as April l, that is, the locally grown
fruit, usually esteemed best. while this
year the first installment of these berries
were received only last week.
OF the finer qualities of Strawberries
grown on the farms around the city deal
ers are now receiving % and % cents a
basket, while the commoner Florida pro-
duct bring only 10 cents, and are at some
places sold as low as 10 cents.
Nearly all of the truck farmers in this
Vicinity grow berries, having anywhere
from one to three acres. Their general
opinion is that the berries, though late
will be plentiful.
Up to the present time the dealers have
been unable to supply the demand, but
within a week or SO 1t is thought the
conditions will be reversed, and that the
supply win more than equal the demand
With the increased number in the market
the prices will of course go down. the

ginning at 10 o'clock, and continuing un-
Ill 1. He reviewed at length the law and
the evidence. denouncing as preposterous
the contention of the defendants that,
admitting the truth Of the plaintiff evil
dence, Wachsteln had no notice of the
fraud alleged to have been committed
by McMurray in securing the property OF
the elder Mrs. Prenty.
Under the evidence of the witness'Joh
Kelly it was shown that at the auction
sale Wachsrein had been told that who
ever bought the property bought a law
suit and that McMurray had no right to
sell the lot, as It belonged 10 Mrs. Prem

chaser on notice that fraud had been
committed Mr.. Barrow contended. ii was
impossible to conceive how anything

property had been obtained would pro-
duce such a result.
