Dceiduous and Citru. Fruits.

The stringency in the Orange market re-
lieved by the arrival of seven carloads of Ma
vels and 3 cars Of Seedlings. some OF which
had been delayed by the washout on the rail-
road. The new arrivals came at an opportune
time, as the market had been practically bare
for several days and retailers were anxious to
secure supplies to meet the increased demand
caused by the continued warm weather In
addition to O brisk local demand there was
some little inquiry from outside points and
close ciearances of good fruit were quickly ef-
fected at stiff prices irrespective of grade or
size. The market closed very firm. with less
than carloads remaining unsold- The situa-
ton in other Citrus fruits was unchanged. all

and firm. Apples continued Arm under an act

range for this universal stamp be-
cause of the slight difference in none
tary standards of the various coun-
tries. This may be worked out later
but the Dutch government is going a
long way toward solving the problem
by carrying in stock the five-cent
stamps of the United States, the 2k
penny stamps of Great Britain, the 20
pfennig stamps of Germany, the 25 cen
times stamps of France, etc. Thus a
person in Netherlands writing to a
man in this country will be able to en-
close a five-cent stamp to frank the re-
ply desired Following this plan. the
United States would carry on sale at
it's leading Offices the stamps of Eng
land, Germany, France, Netherland,
etc, of the value corresponding to our
f1ve-cent stamp. 1t is probable the mat
ter will be brought to the attention of
the United States postal authorities
and small appropriation may be set
aside for the purchase of stamps for
this purpose. Once made the appropri-
alton would never have to be renewed
as the revenue from the sale of these
stamps would always bly, additional
supplies.
