"On July 27 Of last year you

both OF grapefruit and oranges, and
they write me as follows;
As far as grapefruit is concerned
there is now much better demand
for this fruit which is getting better
known on our markets. We have an
arrival of Jamaica fruit at the pres
cnt time which Is making here sound
&c to 28 per case. The chief counts
being asked for are GA, so, SO and
ll2 sizes. Larcer and smaller fruit
as a rule do not make as high a
price as the counts ALREADY given
you.

of these on orr markc $ recently Lut
We can strongly r. ormand contin-
nous shipments as ,aa demand is
lIEely to very good There are a
sew Jamaicas being offered on the
market at the present time which
are making as high as 8. Prospects
ale very good indeed and we strong

we could take same over on arrival d.
We are in position to handle both

(By Associated Press }

London, Oct. 26-The race for the
road to Constantinople has reached
an exciting stage. The Bulgarians
are within few miles of junction
With the Austro-Germans. A small
French force has joined the Serbians,
but the French are not yet in suffi-
Cient force to assume the actual Of
fensivc, In Macedonia the rapid
Bulgarian advance in that region
has diminished. Along the old Bull
garian frontier from northeast of
Vranya to the Rumanian border the
Serbians are yielding little ground
The actual junction of the Bul,2ar-
ians and Germans will soon show
whether the Serbians are able to hold
, their mountain positions until the
allies bring up strong forces.
Italy in still hammering at the
Austrian front, which while shaken,
still is unbroken 1t is expected il
London that the Italian offensive
will prevent the Austrians from re-
