LEMON SPECTATORS
LOSE ENORMOUS SUM

NEW YORK, July 16.-That specu-
lators in lemons have lost over a mil.
lion dollars in the past three months
by overbuylng the market was the as
sertion here today Of leading fruit i'm
porters. They say that this has been
the most disastrous season for the
lemon importers that they can remem-
ber.
The speculative movement began In
the spring with reports that the Cali.
fornia crop of lemons had been de
stroyed by freezing weather, Specula-
tors in Italy then began to contract
heavily with the growers for the sup
ply, Importers here rushed orders to
Italy to buy up all the lemons in sight,
Then came the crash. The specula,
tors found that there would be no
shortage in this country. The cold
weather in California did not cause as
much damage as was at first supposed
and late spring kept down the con-
sumption Of lemons.
In the last few weeks some Of the
importers have had to sell at 81 or less
lemons that cost them upward of S.
box The receipts in April and May
amounted to $4,000 boxes and there
was flat loss we'll in excess OF hall
million dollars.
The receipts for June and early july
have been close to 100000 boxes, add
ing 100000 more to the amounts sunk
in the speculation.
