NEARLY 5000 CARS
Of CITRUS FROM
THE COAST
Seasons Shipments from
California Of Oranges and
Lemons Reaching Into Big
Figures.

the seasons shipments o, oranges
eu, eonthern California have reach
al n total OF nearly 5000 cars most

present condition of the market Is
&C follows by the Riverside
Press:
pedlands last year shipped a greater
.n,,bor of oranges than Riverside
49,, a. Ear M least, Riverside has the
,ood nvor its neighbor. The total out
.r+ NJ II and lemons from TINS
sst.trict Ia date is 40S3 cars. Red
,arde has shipped 1924 cars, making
pherside 45g cars in the lead so far.
Ga FAR this season 1880 cars of or
anges and 303 ears of lemons nave
been shipped.
lemon men are sitting up ana TAX
Inc notice of the doings in Washing
ton these days, but they are not say
inc much. The situation Is too dell
ooto Better things are noped for.
These are %grievous days for holders
oc late naVels. There are n right
smart lot of them in California yet
Tho Press estimate was questioned
some time since, but later develop
ments have shown that there were
were more naVels seqliestered IN inc
valley than most anybody knew any
thing about. And the grievous thing
about the situation is that growers
and shippers expected to make Il nice
little margin on these oranges. Inc
New York market is showing signs
Of n wholesome revival and the ma
vels may bring something like decent
prices.
The Valencia crop Is undoubtedly
larger than all early estimates AND
there will not likely be a repetition
of the high Valencia prices. Valen'
elas made an early start last year,
good part having been made by June
l on them. Prices are ruling 81 9
box lower than usual this time o.
season; perhaps the crop has beer
overestimated. Some folks are guess
ing that there are 1000 cars of or
anges of all varieties left. This SCENT
to be higher than all earlier guesse!
ana the records for former years.
The Redlands Facts" says:
While the shipments of orange
from southern California have beef
materially reduced for some day
past, there is vet such a large quantit,
OF fruit to the markets that they ar
practically glutted with the Caltfornii
golden spheres, and there has been lit
tie reaction in prices and scarcel.
any appreciate advance is seen. IN
daily output is now 50 much smaIe
that the fruit intransit Will not kee'
up the present ovcr-supply of tn
eastern markets for very much longer
and better prospects are at hand.
For the first time in n lumber q
years the late navel pools are destin
ed to be the least satisfactory of an
of the navel pools, because Of tn
crowded markets, it is thought, NOR
than from any other cause. Whil
there has been an effort to make
more equable distribution Of the fru
throughout the season, it seemed in
possible this year because of the de
sire Of so many of the growers I
hold off for the hast pool. This brougf
too great a quantity of fruit in {
the close. and the consumption hS

The navcls arc now practically a

their being rushed into market at tn
time. No Valencia lates are goiI
from here, except upon urgent order
as there is every prospect of the ma
kcts being much better later in q
season. with better fruit also.
That the prices rave not been fore
down by reason of unsatisfactory fru
is certain. as the oranges have Ike
up fully as we'll as on any former S
son. Some packers state that nev
have the oranges been in such fl
condition for carrying at so late in {
