II is the terminus OF a branch of the
Florida East Coast Railway. II also
enjoys fine river transportation, as
two lines of steamers ply up and down
the river, making freight charges very
reasonable. The principal industry is
the growing of citrus fruit and at
present there are about 400 acres in
orange and grapefruit groves. The
soil is particularly adapted 10 the
raising Of citrus fruits and tho crop
is not only large, but will be excel
lent The growers expect an Increase
of nearly one-third over last years
crop.
Last year there were shipped from
this point about $4,000 boxes, and n
conservative estimate this year is So
600 boxes Of oranges and grapefruit
The highest estimate on the crop be-
fore the big freeze was 100000 boxes,
but there was over three times the
acreage then. The growers are TAX
ing better care OF their groves and
raising more fruit OF better quality

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Dec. 3.-Prices of stocks
turned upwards today without any well
dehned explanation for the reversal or
yesterdays course. The influences in the
market We're, for the most part, denials
or assertions current yesterday which
caused prices to decline or renewed as
scftlons of changes in the couse OF events
which We're depressing the market yes
ter,,ay. Reports Were circulated that the
SWitchmen'S strike in the Northwest was
not destined to a long continuance: Late
III the day came report from thlcaSo
that it had been actually settled. The
hopeful feeling on this matter relieved
that market from considerable pressure.
There was a parallel change or FEELING
on the subject for the Forthcoming Pres
idential message. 1t was said today that
yesterdays reports from Washington of
radical recommendations to be incorpor-
ated IN the message were not well found
ed. Forecasts of the contents of the
message confined themselves within the
lines of speeches of the President in his
tour of the country. This tendency to
reverse the opinion OF things was taken
to point to professional origin OF much
dealings in the market.
The announcement of the acquisition of
a majority of the stock of the Equitable

Morgan. together with the control of the
