Union said: Cargoes of from $500
to 1000 boxes of oranges are being
brought to this port by the steamer
Crescent City, Capt. Crotty, of the
Beach and Miller line, from points
up the river. The fruit is being
shipped from Crescent City and
points between that city and Jackson
Vile. The cargoes are being sold
here for local consumption or ship
ment to the northern markets. E.
0. Hem, who represents the line in
this city, states that the steamer is
carrying large cargoes of fertilizer
up the river on its return trips. This,
he declares, is an indication of large
vegetable crops next season at vari-
Gus points along the st. Johns river.
River transportation has increased
during the past few months to con-
siderable degree. The river boats
are now carrying large cargoes both
up and down the river between this
port and all the other points of call.
