Three or four cars of California
grapefruit arrived and prices were
rather low. The fruit is not giving
satisfaction and the trade is not
taking to it i'm the usual way. Re-
cent arrivals have been thick-skin-
ned, overripe and, as rule, not as
juicy as they should be. Quotations
were around $3.50 to $500. Seedlings
are in moderate supply and range
$l.O0 to $3.50. BloOds sold $l.75 TO
to 1915, and st. MIchaels, which
have been in moderate supply and
demand, ranged $l.65 to 1920. There
are only few Florida Florida Va
lencia Lates coming. Good stock
is selling mostly around 81 to $500,
with some extra fancy as high as
$3.50. The season is about over.
Grapefruit continues In good de-
mand and the market Is cleaned up
OF anything desirable. Fine, reg
ular crop fruit is selling $500 to 500
with little extra fancy exceeding
these flgures.-New York Packer.

Fruit and Vegetable Market.

The New York Packer of Saturday
gives following quotations on Flor
ida products on the New York mar
ket:
Late Valencia Florida oranges
were in heavy receipt this week, and
prices held steady under good de-
mand. The 96s and 1865 were as a
rule of very fine quality and strong
ly competed with California oranges
of the same sizes. The best oranges
on the New York market at the pres
ent time in 96s and 1865, are the late
Valencias from Florida and some
big prices were realized on these
sizes, some of which brought, Oh the
street, as high as So.
Receipts of Florida pineapples
showed "a decided increase. Twenty
fours were especially heavy, aud
brought $2@2.50. Prices on other
sizes ranged from $l.75@2 for 3Js and
about $l.75 for 36s.
There was a free movement Of
old grapefruit, with russets ranging
from $5@6.5O and brights, fancy,
selling up to 81.
Receipts of Florida tomatoes
dropped off, but the trade looks for
arrivals from new sections i'm a few
days. The demand for fancy tOma-
toes was very good and $3.50 was
easily obtained. The bulk of the
offerings of fancy stock, however,
sold at so, with choice selling at $3.50.
Green beans brought $l@l.5 80 and
wax $l.5O@l.75. Fancy cucumbers
sold at $l.25@l.75 and choice 81 per
basket.
Prices on other Florida products
were: Elephants $2@2.50, peppers
$1.5O@2, white squash $3.50 Il crate,
and potatoes 1904.
FLORIDA corn showed up on the
market this week, but some of the
receipts were SO worm eaten that
they would dot bring enough to pay
freight. For good stock prices
ranged from 1904 per hundred.
There will really be no very great
demand for corn, until receipts from
Florida show better quality or until
North Carolina corn starts TO come"

Authorized Version of Two Orphans

Authorized Version of Two Orphans.
 The Two Orphans company which is to play this noted perennial favor ite here at the Elks Theatre, Sat urday, February 2, seems to be ex- ceptionally praiseworthy c...U reports winch have reached this office. Man. ager Conrad realizing the true great ness of the Two Orphans,' no doubt felt called upon to see that it was treated with tie esteem due to it's eminence. To begin with he sought and secured especial authority to use the only Kate Claxton version. This is the one used by Miss Claxton her. self, and the only one which brought her and the play their fame. It is easy to imagine the difference be- tween the authorized version used by Miss Claxton and enriched by her constant study and years of experi- ence, nor to mention her genius in playing the blind girl part, and any unauthorized vers on. The play as 1t will be given here, will be the great masterpiece. as it was written by the celebrated D'Ennery.
