Fruit markets already feel the
effect Of the frosts in California. The
t1obbing price of the fruit has been
advanced from 10 to % cents per box,
and oranges that are now rolling"
and have escaped the severe weather
on the coast may go higher. AT this
season of the year, about 500 cars of
fruit are shipped out OF California
daily. At the minimum advance of
800 per car California will gain
about $4,000 per shipment for the per.
feet fruit. The frost-bi.ten STUFF which
arrives later will sell for less than
the prices prevailing for good fruit
during a normal season. The scar
city of perfect fruit will ALTO affect
the retail price. Iowa consumes only
about ten cars Of oranges daily, and
wiil not be seriously affected 1t is
believed i is the eastern markets
which viii feel the affects of the scar
city caused by the California frosts,
