TIE MALAGA RAIsIN TRADE.
California Has Caused n Reduction
in United stntes Purchases.

Benjamin ~ RiIgeIy. the United States
Consul al Malaga. has forwarded TO the
State Department report on the exports
Of Malaga raisins TO this country He
says.
Although there is an unusually large
raisn crop in the famous Malaga dis
triCt this year probably 1900 900 boxes. it
is not likely that expectation 10 the Unit

Of recent years.
I'm view Of the heavy crop. prices are
low. and. but for our duty Of 2 cents a
pound. il is almost certain that Malaga
would send from 10000 10 5000 boxes 10
tho United States As il is. she viii urob-
ably not send more than from 1000 10
5000 boxes. In this connection il is al
most startling 90 note how MaIag.-s raj
sin trade with the United States has de-
clined- The following figures tell the
story:
