With the Florida crop exhausted it is necessary to wait on shipments from South America, a number of which are expected in New York at any time. Prac- tically all of the South American ship- ments go to New York, from which point they are distributed throughout the Uni ted States.
 As the result of their scarcity the price went soaring. It is a rare thing that the price falls lower than 90 cents per 100, but with a small stock and great de- mand it jumped to g. This price, how ever, is not expected to prevail any length of time
 An evidence of the popularity of this small fruit is contained in the statement of one soda water dispenser, who re- marked that he had used as many as 500 of them in a single day.

the bottle from which the per
fume had been purchased.

followed and by means of which
they had no trouble IN locating
