Deciduous and citrus Fru,t.

Under the stimulus of the continued warm
weather, business in Oranges and other Citrus
fruits assumed more satisfactory proportions
with the opening of the week, but there was
no improvement In prices. Lemons, Grape Fruit
and Lines ruled steady TO firm under limited
supplies, while Oranges were in abundance with
prices rather weak than otherwise. Receipts
of the latter are steadily increasing, as the car
shortage is interfering with the movement of
the fruit from the southern groves to the East
and shipments being diverted to this mar
ket. Apples, Pears and Tropical Fruits stand

The snowy owl and the snow buntings

the most interesting example OF all Is
the weasel. whose fur In the summer
