Decidnons and Citrus Fruits.

The Orange market was moderately active
during the early morning hours under fair
inquiry for shipping but local trading was
light as the cool, cloudy weather discouraged
buyers who were operating cautiously. The
steamer Ventura. which sails to-morrow will
take about 1000 boxes of Navels. chiefly large
sizes for Honolulu. Several small shipments
of assorted sizes made the Puget
Sound steamer which sailed yesterday. Busi-
ness in the auction rooms where the offerings
were liberal reflected the conditions prevailing
In the open market and the bulk of the sup
plies were bought in by the promoters of the
auction. Eleven cars OF Navels were sold.
