Machines so equipped are less subject

Captain Willoughby said 81 have

mously adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, The experience OF the
Florida Citrus Exchange has shown
that the greatest curse to the Florida
citrus industry has been the shipping
of unripe fruit from the State. causing
enormous gluts of inedibe and unsala-
BILE fruits in the markets, which have
in themselves alone been responsible
for the so-caled 'gluts. which were
merely gluts of unstable fruit, and
Whereas, AS the experience of this
year has demonstrated that the consum-
ing in the United States will readily
absorb more citrus fruits than both
California and Florida can produce, if
shipped in properly ripened condition
and properly distributed. and
Whereas, California mark eted g.
500 cars in the month of March, of this
season, and the Florida Citrus Ex-
change in the month of March, shipped
80 per cent more fruit than in any other
month of the present season, and yet
netted for the oranges 81. SO per box,
fob. packing houses for this entire
month. and
Whereas, Experience has demon
strated that Florida can market safely
and proftably $50 cars of the citrus
fruits FER day throughout the season,
from the time the fruit is actually ripe
until May 1st, and
Whereas, The bill introducedin the
Senate of the State of Florida by Hon.
Louis C. Massey (of Orange County,
known as Senate Bill lao, will in our
opinion, effectually check this evil of
the shipment of inedible citrus fruits
from Florida;
"Be it Resolved, that the Florida
Citrus Exchange heartily endorses and
approves said Bill, and calls on all of its
members, and in addition all growers
of citrus fruits in the State of Florida,
to give their hearty and unstinted sup
port to said bill, and demand of their
legislators it's speedy passage; and re-
quests of the Governor of the State of
Florida to speedily approve said Bill up
on passage, so that it may become
law at the soonest possible moment.

THE LAKELAND EDITOR
VISITS LEGISLATURE

Editor Hetherington, of the Lakeland
Sun, who recently visited Tallahassee,
thus writes in his paper:
"The Legislature now in session Is
neither better nor worse than its pre-
decessors for the past decade it is an
average Legislature, which means that
it is an average body of men; it would
be a libel on the State to say that this
gathering is composed of the best men,
or two of the best men. from each
county in the State. There are some
of the brightest minds in Florida in the
present Legislature; then. there are
some members who cause one to Won
der how they ever found their way to
the Capital-if they brought a guide
with them, or if the conductor put them
off. A few such as these sit at their
desks and dream, or vacantly turn the
pages of some report, utterly failing to
comprehend what is going on around
them. Some of them furnish a little
amusement for the brighter members;
others show some natural sense, and
never open their mouths except to an
swer the roll upon some question with
regard to which they have been prev
iousy posted, or upon which they vote
by taking their cue from some member
in whom they have confidence. They
were elected because they were good
fellows" because they were born in
this we're county," or for some other
equally cOgent reason. OF course, the
people can do no wrong, and If they
want these kind of lawmakers, and are
willing to pay for them, who shall say
them nay?"

Senator Cone for state uniformity of

that there would be hard fight be-

SMALL ADVANCE IS
 SCORED IN COTTON Market Is Nervous and an Early Decline Occurs PRICES RALLY QUICKLY Liouidation Is General on Apprehen- sion of n Bearish Ginners' Re-
 port But This Is Soon
 Overcome
PRICES RALLY QUICKLY

New York, January 5,-After showing continued nervousness and a further de- cline in todays early trading, the cotton market rallied and the close was firm at net advance of to Il points,
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to decline of points, which was just about in line with the cables Prices weakened, however right after the call. and during the morning sold off to net loss of to points on the active months under aggressive bear pressure, scatter ing liquidation, while just below 15c for May stop loss orders were uncovered. Liquidation appeared to reflect appre- tensions that large ginning report from the census bureau next Tuesday would be followed by increased estimates of the crop, while local bear pressure was un- doubtedly encouraged by the appearance of long cotton coming on the market in the absence of bull support. But after the execution of the early selling orders there seemed to be less cotton for sale, suggesting that the scattering long inter ests had been pretty well lquidated, while demand improved around 14.95c for May. At first this seemed to come most largely from covering by recent sellers, but as the market worked higher reports of further reduction In estimates of the East Indian crop and private reports from the south claiming a continued good ex- port demand, seemed to inspire renewal of bull support, and the market reached the highest level of the day in the last few minutes, closing at practically the top. Cable advices state that the lead ing Indian merchants have reduced their estimates of this years crop another 100,- GOO bales. Southern spot markets official ly reported early were unchanged to 1sc
 lower.
 Receipts at the port today, 29491 bales, against 49,324 last week and S6,o62 last year: for the week, 26o,O00, against 302,- 40 last week and ,696 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans. 13,976 bales, against Il, ,457 last year, and at Houston, 744S bales, against 43O7 last year.

 Poultry and eggs are coming in very slowly. The markets are unable to sup ply the present demand for eggs. Tho supply of poultry is also very small. yet there Is enough on hand to meet present needs.
 Business among the packers yester- day was much better than Wednes- day. No changes In prices of meats were reported. The markets for this commodity are pretty well supplied.
 Stocks in the markets for fruit and produce have been diminished by the increase of business along this line, but in spite of the few receipts the markets have been able to keep thu trade supplied.
 The call for feedstuffs was also very good. Receipts yesterday were as fol- lows: One carload of meat, and a small shipment of eggs.

market began to look oversold and shorts anxious for their profits found offerings scanty. Prices gradually rose on mod crate but steady buying in spite of much bearish gossip that was circulated. The most important items in the gossip were in regard to conditions in Texas. Many telegrams were shown about telling of heavy rainsN recently in the most import ant cotton producing sections of that state. They had no effect on the mar ket and at noon prices were to points over yesterdays close and IA to 15 points up from the lowest of the morning.
 Tn the afternoon session the market was quiet but very steady. At o'clock the trading months were to 12 points over yesterdays close.

SEASONS TOP PRICE REACHED IN WHEAT
Small Receipts Form Basis for
 the Advance
DEMAND VERY STRONG
Lack of Rain in Argentina Is Cause of Decided Advance in Price of Corn-Oats and Provisions
 Are Also Higher

Chicago, January 5.-Wheat today sold at the highest price since October o6 and closed firm at an advance of 1kc start to finish offerings were unequal to the demand General lessening of re- ceipts formed the chief cause, seconded by strength of corn. The latter cereal finished azc to %c above last nights lev el; oats up Ac to ss01ac and provisions at a rise of 219Q20c.
 With the exception of a momentary dip at the outset wheat prices advanced rapidly all day. Leading longs openly added to their holdings on the way up. Northwestern centers, where the diminu- ton of arrivals had been most pronounced surpassed Chicago in, the extent of the bulge and were buyers here. Minneapo- lis was reported outbdding Kansas City for hard winter wheat in Nebraska, but not getting much at the advance. Pri- mary receipts today showed falling off more than a third compared with a year ago. It was also noticed that Argentine shipments this week promised to be only 4S0.000, against 1,12S,000 bushels for the previous seven days. Lack of moisture In the southwest contributed likewise to the feeling of f1rmness. Initial weak ness was due to lower European quota tions, which, after the first few moments of trading. were completely ignored. May ranged from 9Sc to 99ssc and closed 11s@ 1Mc net higher at 99s4@99Sc.
 Rains in the Argentine Republic were reported insufficient for corn. One of the leading shorts here was credited with cov- ering on a large scale and there was a stampede of smaller shorts in conse- quence. Competition from investors and speculators kept values on the jump. Country offerings, however, showed a huge increase. Both Iowa and Illinois sold freely. Fluctuations In the May op- tion were between 4SAc and 4S9sc, with final sales at 4s1k@49ssc, a gain of sc over last night. Cash corn was firm No. yellow closed at 461a@D47c.
 In oats much larger business was done than had been the rule of late. The market held firm in sympathy with other grain. May sold from 34c to 94as@S41tc, finishing ssc up at 34ss@341ac.
 Provisions were easy at first, owing to a decline in hogs. but were helped later by the advance of all cereals. When the pit cleared pork had increased in cost 10 to 20 cents. Lard was dearer 21a@ 5c and ribs by 10Q121hc
