Smyrna Raisins and Figs.

Writing from Smyrna under date
of July 10, Consul e. l.. Harris says
that reports Just received estimate
the coming crop of Sultana raisins
in that Turkish district at 1000
tons. He adds:
The vines so far present very
healthy appearance, the bunches of
fruit being strong and healthy. The
cool weather prevailing may have
the effect OF retarding the ripening
of the crop by a few days. Prices
in the coming season Will II is be-
lieved, open at a higher level than is
fully justified by the extent OF the
crop. This is due to the action of
certain merchants who are credited
with the intention OF forcing prices.
The fact that there is no old stock
on hand from last year and the pres
ent market abroad being depleted
are two reasons which would great
ly facilitate a move of this nature.
Il Is expected, however, that on ac-
count of the large crop II will be i'm

Child Labor I'm the South.

The October number of the North
American Review contains an article
by the late Julia Magruder, entitled,
THE Child Labor Problem: Fact
versus Sentipentallty." Miss Ma
gruder admits that 1t IL unfortunate
that children should have to labor in
factories or otherwise at an age in
tended by nature for. the mental and
physical development OF the young.
But she contends that the whole
question hinges on the point OF the
alternative. i these children were

would they be? This question is
answered by contrasting the chill.
dren seen on the farms OF North
Carolina with the children seen in
the factory towns; the latter being
more cleanly, better dressed. bright
or, more intelligent than the former.
Miss Magruder criticises severely the
sentimental articles and books which
have been published on this subject,
and which, she says, do not describe
the facts. She says:

possible to maintain prices at the
opening figure.
A crop of $500 tons of Eleme
rasins is anticipated, as against
5000 tons in 1906 and $500 tons in
1905. Dealers anticipate low prices,
and considerable amount of busi-
ness has already been done for Sep
tember and October shipments at
$3S7 and $5.32 per hundredweight
Of 112 pounds, free on board, ac-
cording to description.
Last season proved unfavorable
for the majority of shippers of figs.
owing to overlarge forward sales
prices were started Unexpectedly
high, and the keen competition to
obtain figs to fill orders already
booked caused prices to be firmly
maintained during September and
to be even advanced in October, de-
spite the falling markets abroad.
II is therefore expected that export
merchants at Smyrna will be a little
more reserved this year. Foreign
buyers are also evinclng more care
as 10 the dealers with whom they
contract. II this policy is carried
out It is probable that the fig trade
in general will be healthier and
more satisfactory to those imme.
diately interested than II has been
for years. The present prospects
for the crop are exceptionally favor
able. The trees are laden with fruit
apparently free from all blight.
The yield is estimated at 10000
loads, or 26,500 tons.as against "a, =.
500 tons in 1906 and $4,000 tons in
1905.
A later report from Consul Har-
ris says that the raisin and fig crops
of Smyrna have been very seriously
damaged by violent thunderstorms,
accompanied by hail, in the latter
part of August. He adds: The
season is very late this year, and
only about 20 per cent OF the first
crop of raislns had dried, the re-
mainder being still spread out on
the ground. The violence OF the
storms, which flooded some OF the
carrying away houses and
cattle, prevented any measures be-
ing taken to protect the drying rails
ins. Such storms at this season of
the year have not happened before
within the memory of the residents
of symrna. The uncut grape crop
has also suffered considerably from
the excessive moisture in the air..
Altogether the damage is estimat-
ed at not less than 80 TO S5 per cent
of the entire crop, or somethink like
s45O,000 worth. The fig crop, al
though uncut, has suffered by at
least 10 TO 20 per cent.
