Deciduous and Citrus Fruits.

Receipts of Oranges continued very light
only one carload being received over night,
and with weather conditions favorable to
active trading and stocks closely cleaned up,
the market for that fruit maintained strong
position According to leading handlers, the
market has seldom been in such excellent con-
dition for the selling interests and it was
generally believed that a continuance of the
fine weather would cause a general advance
in prices as the East is still drawing heavily
upon this State for supplies and all indica-
tions point to continued light receipts in this
market for some time There brisk de-
mand for all grades of Navels yesterday ire
spective of size or cost and favored sizes still
commanded the usual premium. Standar Is
were relatively hrTner than the upper grades
and there was very little fruit to be had for
less than 1925 per box. The other Citrus
goods were firm in sympathy with Oranges,
and Apples continued to move off well at steady

displayed love for fine stock, and
