there is no longer any doubt that this
| State is the paradise for hunting. fish.
! ing and other kindred sports. But the
beautiful stories that have been told
from time to time through the press
concerning Florida and its attractions
for the tourist are no longer new and
interesting The public in general have
| turned attention to the more serious
| things and are now searching for the
best locations in which to build their
winter homes in the big Winter Gar
den. says the Financial and Industrial
| Record.
MANY persons who have had their
attention attracted to Florida are buy
ing lands in small tracts and erecting
bungalows, putting out small orange
groves and settling where they can
spend the cold winter months in warm
and comfortable climate. Others are
buying small and large tracts and are
reaping handsome returns by the cult
vation of vegetables and fruit of great
many varieties.
"Florida is looked upon today by the
people of the United States as the
Western states were half a century
ago The State may truly be said to
be just coming to it's own. The eye of
the agricultural, horticultural and com
mercial world is now centured upon
Florida.
"At the present time the OppOrtuni-
ties in Florida are practically unlimited.
But, like all sections that have attract
ed the home seeker and investor, these
virgin opportunities cannot last many
years. The influx of the people into
the State increases with astonishing
rapidity. Yet TO those who have loca-
ted in Florida, it is not so astonishing to
see people Aocking here in such num-
bers Those who live here and those
who have visited the State and investi-
gated its resources must be convinced
of the unlimited advantages offered by
it's climate and its soils.
"The opportunities presented in Flor
ida are many indeed. But, like all other
opportunities, unless they are promptly
grasped they will soon be gone. They
cannot last forever, for never in the
history of Florida has there been such
a rush to secure good citrus and vege-
table lands. People are awakening
everywhere and in Florida their wants
can be supplied.
1T is not uncommon in Florida to
follow one crop of vegetables with
another until three or four crops are
grown on the same piece of land during
one year. This is one reason such large
returns are received from a small tract
of land in Florida. This is why people
are hOcking here from all over the
country. They are learning that in
Florida they can work outdoors every
day in the year. That they are not
cOoped up in their homes in the winter
season. but that during the winter the
farmers and fruit and vegetables grow
ers ase bury planting, cultivating and
their crops"

BIG PURCHASE
ST.LUC|E LAND
$4,000 Acres Bought in St. lu-
Gle and OsCeOIa Counties
BY GEORGIA COMPANY
Rapid Development of State Will Soon
See the Utilization Of Vast Waste
Lar DIS of Florida

One hundred and seventy-seven tn u
sand acres of land were included in a
deal closed Thursday by Albert Fend-
ing e. Co., of Jacksonville. whereby the
Security Investment Company, of
Brunswick, Ca, comes in possession of
large acres of the best timber land in
Oscevla and st. Lucie counties. 1t is
reported that the money consideration
was over $3.50, 900, says the Jacksonville
Metropolis
The land is purchased outright by
the above company Of which G. Down.
ing, of Brunswick, Ca, is the leading
spirit and will be held for speculation.
Mr.. Downing IS especially prominently
identified with the naval stores industry
of the southern States and with the
purchase of the property in OsceOa
and st. Lucie counties has some of the
best timber and turpentine lands in the
State.
None of the land has been cut over
and neither has it been worked for tur-
pentine. which facts make the recent
deal of more than ordinary Importance.
The land, besides containing. a heavy
growth of long leaf pine, is ideal for
general farming purposes, and lies in
section of the State where great de
velOpments have been taking place
during the past several months. 1t is
believed that the owners will make
plans to dispose Of part of the land for
farming purposes in the near future
and it is rumOred that one of The larg-
est deals of the year will be made in
connection with this property within
few weeks.
1t is seldom that land deal of the
Importance of the above is reported in
any section of the State and the fact
that it is only one of the several large
purchases make in this State during the
past few months, is another proof Of.
the value of Florida lands. When it is
remembered that there are no more
dollar per acre lands in the State. and
neither are there any more large tracts
which can be bought at SO per acre, the
financial Importance of the above deal
is easily estimated.
Mr.. Tending states that never during
his experience in real estate matters in
this State has he seen a greater inter-
est in Florida lands, and each day
brings hundreds of letters and inquiries
from people in the northern States who
are anxious to invest in large tracts of
farming and timber lands. There are
now several big deals under way, in
which colonization propositions are in.
cluded, and if these are carried through
they will have big in.
fiuence on Florida in general.
The Metropolis also learned that
Messrs. j. M. Bars and Harvey Duval
sold Thursday to Harold j. Bryant, of
Colorado Springs, who is now at the
WinsOr Hotel. 60, 900 acres of land near
Palm Beach, for, it is reported, in the
of $500, 900
This is the way Florida is growing.

interests in Florida, and is determined
to make the California methods a
practical success in his old home state.
The decentralization has been due
chiefly to tw0 causes the shipping of
sour green fruit to the early fall market
by individual growers eager to capture
fancy prices, the effect being practically
to destroy the market demand for the
time being; and second, the continual
dumping of an over supply into this
market and that by shippers acting in
dependently of each other and in
ignorance of each others plans. 1t
might as easily happen as not, almost
any time, that two or three growers in
the same town would send large con-
signments to the same city within a
day or so of each other, Cutting the
market and forcing most of the fruit to
sell at auction. This sort of thing has
been the fate of Florida oranges, times
without number, during the very period
in which California has been raising her
industry from an even lower condition
to the point, where according to Mr..
Burton, that the exchange will have

STOCK MARKET IN A RUT. Period of Duliness Predicted-Attempt
 to Lift Prices Failed.

New York, Feb. 25.-The lift to prices which was given in yesterday s stock market proved a disappointment in its after effects today. The move tempts to extend it by the profession al board room traders. The latter part of the day was about as dull as the early part of yesterday.
 The large individual transactions in one or two stocks revealed the profess sional origin of the attempted move ment. Some of the "news'' on which the rise was based proved so unSatis- factory to the professional buyers that they hastily resold their takings. In other instances the news had no proof and lost it's. influence. Brook lyn Transit sold off when it was an- nOunced that an award in it's favor had been made in a lawsuit involving 2 a claim for upwards of three million dollars The southern railroad stocks also fell back sharply, owing to lack of confirmation of yesterdays report of fiancial plan which would carry valuable rights to stockholders. It was rather obvious, also, that efforts were making to realize profits on pre- vious advances under cover of the new points of strength in the market. The velopments that the stock market was falling into rut and was destined to period of dullness and neglect pend ing the defining of new forces in the OutlOOk- AISWeIS were returned DY various southern railroads to demands for increase of wages, thus further making up the issue to be decided be- tween the railroads and their em- ployes. The pendency of this settle ment is not helpful to the advocates of higher prices. The condition of the winter planted crop comes into in- creasing importance as the time ap- breaches for the breakup of the win ter. Conflicting reports today Of the amount of damage done in the south west by the severe weather were an influence both in the stock and wheat markets. The report of earnings for January presented by the Atchison Topeka, & Santa Fe offered an object lesson Of the cost of storm b1ockades to the railroads. The operating cost for the system was run up $1,524,465 over that of January last year, thus converting gain in gross earnings of over half a million dollars into a net decrease of a million. A significant de- ve1opment is the heavy retirement of note circulation which the banks have entered upon. Deposits of lawful money for that purpose with the sub treasury are largely responsible for the weeks large gain by that insti- tuition, which reached $6,13S.000. Dur ing January, current redemption of bank notes by the treasury was the largest on record
 The prospect of new government bond issues for Panama canal con- s+ruction will give the situation an added interest.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales. par value, $2,S43.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call
