FIorida's Orange Crop.

special 10 the Florida Times MON
and Citizen from Tampa says: Mr.. w
r. Fuller. Jr., the general representa-
tive of the Seaboard Air Line is one of
the best Informed men in the orange bus
mess in the sttae. In fact, he is gener-
ally regarded as an expert and he is a
close observer and calculator. Some time
ago Mr.. Fuller made a statement to the
effect that he thought the orange crop
of this county would reach 100000 boxes
and he placed De Soto county ahead of
anything else. Yesterday Mr.. Fuller
stated that he had the best of reasons
to raise his estimate of the Hllsboro
county crop, and that he was sure it
would exceed $50. 900 boxes. He declared
that this estimate was made on a more
careful examination of the situation, and
that the fru't was of size that could be
better judged from than the previous
statement. He has been all over the
county and looked at the crops, and made
his estimates upon investigation and then
compared them with information he has
received from other residents who have
had experience, and the result is that he
figures named. He also says that he
never saw better fruit anywhere than is
found on the trees of this county at the
present time. and he is sure that Hills
boro county will lead all counties in the
state in the crop this season, and next
year he believes it will almost double
other counties, as so many more trees will
come into bearing by that time

Tendency May BE Checked-Rosins
Firm and in Moderate Demand.
Cotton Steady Mt the Weeks Ad-
vances-Oferings LiGht-Local and
TeIegraphic Markets.
Conditions combined during the past
week to bring a very sharp decline in the
spirits turpentine market, which dropped
49, cents since last weeks closing The
price closed steady last Friday at SsIs
cents, and firm to-day at SO cents. This
falling off is attributed to several causes
among them being the liberal receipts, and
the sale and exporting of naval stores
from the Gulf ports. which is having its
effect in a lessening of the demand here
The market seems to be in stronger po-
sition to-day at 36 cents. though the indi-
cations are not such as to point with GER
tainty to a check in the downward ten
dency
Throughout the week the drop in tur-
pentine has been steady one. Like the
individual with rundown heels, the mar
ket got the worst buyers could give it
when it started down hill. They were in
different about supplying other than their
immediate demands, and would not enter
for fear of losing a chance of getting in on
a lower basis. Their reason for suspense
will be apparent from the movement of
prices. The opening Friday was firm at
1919 cents, and the closing steady and I'M
changed The'opening Saturday was firm
at 3S12, and the closing unchanged. The
opening Monday was quiet at 3S12, and the
closing firm at 3S. The opening Tuesday
was quiet at So, and the closing nominal
and unchanged. The opening Wednesday
was steady at 81, and the closing firm at
361a. On Thursday the market was firm
at 36, and to-day closed firm and unchang-
ed, with no business heard of on a lower
basis. Factors feel more confident than
previously and believe the downward ten
dency checked. However receipts con-
tinue liberal and the demand moderate.
The rosin market was in fairly strong
position during the week. though prices
yielded some in response to light de-
mand. The opening Friday was quiet and
the closing Saturday firm at a decliGe of
cents on all grades On Tuesday NJ N,
window glass and water white went off
cents. 1t seems there is a fair demand
for resins, and the chances are that pres
ent values will be maintained. G and be-
