Deciduous and Citrus Fruits

The orange market has recovered from tne
depression which has characterized 1T for the
last two months, and all grades are selling on
well for local and shipping but the STOCK
is arriving tco fast to permit of close clearances,
any improvement in prices. The bulk of the
stock now arriving is running to large sizes and
prices for general offerings rather weak than
otherwise, while small oranges, that is, 116s and
212s, scarce and readily command firm rates
and in some instances desirable lots bring pre-
MUM Lemons well cleaned up and nrm.
with fancy stock slightly higher. The other
fruits are in good supply and unchanged.
Conflicting reports are coming to nand re
garding the outlook for the Strawberry crop In
the Watsonville region. 1t seems that pre-
vious reports predicting a bumper crop were
based upon the returns from a few isolated
sections only, and ii is generally believed that
the crop this year viii be larger, if as large,
as last year. Last year the Gamers were unable
to secure many berries. owing TO the high prices
prevailing, and the bulk of the carry over
canned stock from 1905 was destroyed in the
great fire. stocks of strawberry preserves were
practically exhausted before the end of 1905
So, if the reports of decreased acreage and
moderate crops be true, this win be another sea
son of high prices.

Pota-l,es, Onions and VegetabIes

Receipts Of table Potatoes from outside points
are increasing, as the railroad service has i'm
proved TO the extent that cars are more plenti-
ful and northern shippers are again able to for
ward supplies by the coastwise steamers. The
steamer Columbia arrived from Oregon yester-
day with about 5000 sacks, bringing the total
receipts for two days from that State up TO well
above 1000 sacks. New arrivals from all sec
tions quickly snapped up at firm rates, how
ever, and all indications point to high market
for some time TO come. Onions are none too
plentiful and remain very strong, but receivers
are averse 10 advancing prices heavy ar
rivals are expected from the north at any time.
Receipts Of miscellaneous vegetables are still
running extremely light and the market remains
firm all around with supplies of most descrip-
tions insufficient for current requirements. Re-
ceipts from the Los Angeles region have lat
terlF dwinded down TO almost nothing.
