Bananas Are Scarce.

Special to Times-Republican.
DUBUQUE, Aug 24.-Dubuque Is
threatened with a banana famine as the
direct result of the disastrous hurricane
which recently visited the West India
island devastating almost every bana-
ma plantation within the storm area and
proving especially destructive on the
islands of Jamaica. Already the price
of bananas has increased to almost
double what it was five days ago and
owing to the demand from eastern mar
kets it is likely to so still higher.
The plan of the steamship companies
in the banana trade from the west
Indian ports is to defect from 90 TO 10
per cent of the cargoes usually ship
per from Mobile and New Orleans to
supply the shortage occasloned by the
destruction of the plantations on the
island of Jamaica and the neighbour
ing islands from which the east draws
its supply of the fruit. This move
was directed by necessity. Several
vessels bound for New York and Bos-
ton with cargoes of bananas were
caught by the hurricane and 1t was
found necessary to throw overheard
the greater part of the cargoes to ride
out the storm. One vessel jetusoned
10000 punches of bananas and 10000
boxes of oranges.
The price of bananas In New York
rose yesterday from 70 cents to So
bunch at one jump. This high figure
has not yet been reached in this city.
However, the price has risen mater
tally within the last five days. The
quotation last Saturday was $1.4O for
