TO TEST LEMONS.
California Fruit Will Be Compared
With Foreign.

New York. Dec. 15.-Importers Of lem
ons will have an analytical test made
to show the relative quantity of citric
acid contained in the imported fruit as
compared with the California product.
This is the latest development in the
controversy between Importers and
handlers Of domestic lemons. which arose
over a test OF California lemons made
by the Earl Fruit company, and which
showed, according to the claims Of that
company, that the domestic fruit con-
tanned a larger percentage Of citric acid
than imported lemons. Importers it
seems, are by no means satisfied with
the Earl test, and accordingly will make
a. counter test
Mt. s Saitta, a large importer, said
that he had Krone Bros, of this city,
select twelve lemons as a representative
lot from a California, production, and
also twelve Sicilian lemons from a rep
Tesentatiye Importation These, Mr..
Saitta said, had been given to an ex-
pert chemist to make an analysis in
order to secure a perfectly fair and inn
partial test as to the relative amount
Of citric acid contained in the two lots.
