One of the Best
Citrus Seasons
For Years

Tampa, Jan. THE citrus season
up tc the present has been very sat
isfactory and the outlook for the re-
mainder of the shipping year is
bright, according to General Man
ager l.. d. Jones, of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange.
This is one of the best seasons
we have had in many years" said
Mr.. Jones. From the opening until
the holiday period there hasn't been
day when the markets have been
excited, and there hasn't been a glut
of any kind, either at Thanksgiving
or Christmas. While the prices in
clined downward from the opening
of the season to some extent, yet the
market has been fairly active dur
ing the shipping period. The fruit
market was just as active one week
after Thanksgiving as it was the
week before, and orders are now
coming in for oranges at s1.75 T. o.
b. and grapefruit, $3.50.
There was no accumulation in
the market at Christmas and bare
ly enough to fill orders. There is no
accumulation of Florida fruit in any
market. The distribution of Flor
ida fruit is the best ever known. The
exchange packing houses will be
open and in full blast by January
| 10. Half of the fruit has already
gone from the market and very high
prices will prevail when the move
ment starts. No doubt prices will be
higher than they have been for a
number of years.
This season has been remarkable
also rom the absence of decay in
| frr't. There has been practically no
&C nplaint on this score"
According to Mr.. Jones, the ex-
