lentless war was waged on the green
fruit shipper. mourning the wrath OF
that Individual, whose name is legion
as we'll as the hatred OF a large number
of dealers throughout the country who
had purchased the immature stun: but
this year 1t is found that dealers are
unanimous in their approval of the
course pursued.
The State officials, whose duty 1t is TO
enforce the green fruit laws, called
convention of growers at Gainesville in
August. who agreed on a standard of
maturity which. for oranges. is seven
times as much sugar as citric acid. and
any orange showing as much as Is per
cent. Of citric acid is. by this agreement
and the operation OF existing law, de-
clared to ue unfit for shipment.
A simple but thoroughly effective
method of testing the fruit on the tree
has been devised. and the fruit must re-
main on the tree until its development
conforms to the standard. As TO grape
fruit. active shipping was not to begin
before October / and after that date 1t
will be a question OF the color Of the
peel which must be at least two-thirds
yellow.
Growers are generally making fore
casts" as to the possible money value of
their fruit as marketed under conditions
outlined. Orders are already being
booked at s2.25 per box for oranges (. o.

including freight and handling charges.
Similar incidents have inspired in the
growers a hope that they may realize an
average of something like g a box the
season through. 1t will be neither the
fauIt nj producers nor shippers IL the
average is less, for there is every evil
dence of a fixed purpose to provide quail
ity and condition that will command that

FINANCEAND REALTY


The Washington Stock Exchange met
yesterday for the first time on satur-
day since the end Of June. Business
was slack and price changes were In
significant. More attention was given to
bonds than to stocks. but transactions
were in narrow volume. as has been the
case for the most part for more than
two weeks.
Washington Gas IS. Railway As, Poto-
mac Consolidated IS, and Capital Trac-
ton IS were the bonds purchased, the
transactions being limited to one or two
OF each issue. Gas brought 81, the top
price for the week. Mergenthaler sold at
2e5. the low figure for the last seven
days, and Capital Traction brought
123h. also low for the week.
Business on the exchange seems still
to be affected by talk of the proposed
merger. and 1t seems likely that the
market will move in a narrow groove
until something definite is known re-
garding the proposed consolidation OF
properties

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by W. B. Hibbs Co.
members o; the New York Stock Exchange. Hibos
Building
New York. Oct 5-The cotton market was liqui-
dated to new low levels for the downward movement
during the week just ended. Prices were carried
to within 4 very few points Of the level obtained
few weeks ago, and from which a rise Of about LOO
points took place. The dominating influences were
heavy receipts and improving crop conditions. or
rather better crop conditions than had been ex-
pected. Southern spot markets were not weak, but
failed to give evidence Of q determined spinners
demand from either Europe or America, and the
volume Of the movement was so heavy as to suggest
increased crop estimates to make the bull position
to this extent untenablc.
The governments crop condition report was better
than expected and prompted a selling movement Of
some importance. On the same day. however. the
Census Bureau issued a report Of the number OF
bales ginned and, notwithstanding that the result
was a deficit rs compared with last year. it was
construed as bearish and the market forced
down under liquidation and short selling.
In the cotton goods division Of the dry goods trade
there is no complaint Of demand equal to or ex-
ceeding last year. Political conditions and
scares have had veU little influence exports,
which, though under last year. are still in excess
of calculated percentage Of the receipts or into
sight movement from the crop being marketed. D

ever, judging from the inscription, 1t Is
more probable that the Roman Emperor
Trajan (9s or III A. d. erected this struc-

name Of Servius Supus. of Lusitania, as
the architect. The tower Is built OF ash
lars and is nine meters square and forty
meters in height. 1t has six separate
stories which can only be reached by cir

CTTROUS SEASON IS ON.
Florida's Orange and Grapefruit
Crop Very Heavy.


The cItrous fruit season opened in
Florida last Monday. and marked the
beginning OF Statewide activity in
packing and hustling oranges and
grapefruit TO the railway stations on
their long Journey to the Northern
markets. Reports have it that this
years crop is one of the heaviest ever
grown in the Everglade State.
Development seems to confirm early
estimates of a yield of about go. 900
boxes, 10000 of which will be grape
fruit II will require 1900 cars to
move the crop TO the markets. The Flor
ida Citrous Exchange will handle some
thing like 1000 cars. The officials of
this organization and a number of large
independent growers realized in July that
n record-breaking crop was in prospect,
and knowing that IL could not be handled
to advantage without the best attention
TO packing and shipping. enlisted the CO.
operation OF the State Agricultural De-
partment to inaugurate and enforce rad
ical and much needed reforms in these
lines.
Fruit Growers Cooperate.
The exchange was the leader in a
movement that has gripped practically
every grower in the State and II is
learned from New York representatives
that producers are cooperating AS one
man" in a determination to make as
much of a success in marketing as they
have made Of the crop. This movement
has been making Roadway for the past
three seasons and, according to an Of
fetal circular just issued by the ex-
change. marketing methods have been
revolutionized during that time.
1t further says that recognizing the ut
ter folly of the course pursued for
years, much thought and energy have
been devoted to the eradication of
methods that had brought the Florida

lish its reputation as the most delicious
