NEW YORK QUOTES
FLORIDA PRODUCTS

The first receipts of Florida citrus
fruits in anything like quantities be-
gan arriving during the week, when
oranges and grapefruit began coming
in CARROTS. Receipts have been quite
light up to the present time. Begin
ming next week it is expected that
Florida will have been opened up in
good style, and fairly liberal receipts
are expected after that time.
The receipts of oranges to date have
been for the most part in small sizes,
which, of course, was directly due to
the drought which visited the Florida
sections during the winter and spring.
This defect if defect it can be called.
will without question continue
throughout the season, rs all the frult
in Florida was more or less affected by
the weather. The smallness of the
fruit, however, is not Il very serious
drawback, and what was shown during
the week was of splendid selling quail
ties with the possible exception of a
little greenness which is still visible.
Grapefruit has been exceptionally
fine and the prospects are that 1t VIII
continue to be so. Receipts of grape
fruit are also expected to come quite
literally, beginning next week.
Oranges have been selling anywhere
from s.. 80 70 $3.50 for average grades
with some exceptionally fine frult
bringing as high as $3.50. Grapefruit
sold for So and So generally, with the
best coming as high as $3.50.
There has been very good demand
for Florida vegetables of late, and any
thing that showed up we'll generally
found good outlet.
Tomatoes 50 far have been of very
poor quality, but if good would have
sold readily. However, there is enough
other stock on the market to hold the
price of the Florida product in check,
and the best that could be had during
the week was from $3.50 to $3.50.
Egg plant was very fine and met
ready sale at 50 to $3.50 per box. Gu
cumbers also sold well at $3.50 to " 90
Beans brought $l.25 to $3.50 for green
and around 50 for the wax.
Okra brought S2.5O to $3 per carrier
Peppers did not seem to be wanted In
anv great extent, and were rather q

dark and the unprecedented low temper
allure for the season. the severe wind
and threatening waves made the race
appear an impOssibility.

utes and Sc seconds. remarkable time for
the course under such conditions. The
Academy crew covered the distance in
10 minutes 20 seconds and the High
School eight in 10 minutes 81 seconds

the contest and handicapped by a series
Of accidents, we're about seven lengths
behind. but their gameness in finishing
UnGeT circumstances which would have
caused most crews to drop out was the
most creditable incident Of the race.
The race was postponed until late in
the afternoon, conditions rendering it
impossible earlier. Shortly before 7
O'Clock there was a little let-up in the
severity Of the wind and waves and the
boats were towed to the beginning Of
the course. the rOwers travelling in
launches The start was made without
special incident, except the misfo-tunes
Of fe . h-~
some Of the row locks had been arrang-
ed IN such a way as 70 make rowing
almost impossible, and within a few
moments Of the start the bow rover
broke his Ca. Nevertheless the Yes
pers finished the race and made a re-
markable showing under the circum-
stances.
The contest between the other three
crews was a beautiful one. but about
half a mile from the finish the two
local crews began to pull away from the
plucky high school lads. The two crews
were bow to bow until a couple of hun
dred yards from the finish. when The
junior crew mt on a little more steam,
and finished Just a length ahead.

ON CORNELL CREW

that he cannot understand why it don't
Meanwhile the crew continues to fizzle.
Considering the fact that CornelTs
varsity eight is made UP of FIVE OF last
years victorious crew and two from last
years four-oarcd combination. it seems
strange that the crew has been so slow
in getting into shape. The positions
have been changed repeatedly, but none
of the old oarsmen have been taken out
to allow the seating Of junior men. The
junior crew. however, has been rowing
together for over a month and has beat
