Lemons are not quite worth their
weight in gold, but they are fast APP
preaching that condition. Ten dollars
a box is the price wholesalers are
quoting for the fruit, and there isn't
any too many at that The wholesalers
pay 50 box, so there isn't much mar
gin in handling. The cause is the re-
cent long stretch of excessively hot
weather. which has caused an unpre-
cedented demand. AS yet the price OF
drinks in which lemons are used have
not been affected, but that may come
later.
