BANANAS TO BE CHEAPER.
Large Receipts of Fruit at Balti.
more From West Indies.

Increased receipts of bananas at the
Baltimore market. from which source

fruit, will have the effect of making the
fruit cheaper in this city. For the past
month or two. in consequence Of the light
receipts from the West Indies, bananas
have been considerably higher in price
than they were asst fall. The indications
are that the crop in Jamaica and other
points of supply in the West Indies is
large and that imports will continue to
increase for the next two or three
months. Monday 72.611 punches of the
fruit were landed on the fruit wharves
at Baltimore. These were brought in
three steamers, one Of which had aboard
% S11 punches. the next 25,OO0 punches
