Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

| New York, March 17-(SpeciaL)-A car load of oranges shipped from the chief orange district of Florida arrived at New York few days ago. The fruit was of fered for sale to wholesalers. They were willing buyers because the demand for oranges at this time is heavy. The en- tire carload was sold within a few hours, and S1,6O0 was paid for it. But the orange growers will receive only small part of the receipts. A little over $10O0 were the charges for bringing the oranges to the wholesale commission merchants. Only seoo will be received by the pro- ducers.
 If we add to the cost entailed by bring ing the fruit from Florida to New York the profit which the wholesalers will re- ceive, and if to that there be added the profit which the retailers will command, it will be discovered that the consumer will pay very large amount over the amount received by the orange growers. What is true of oranges is also true of early vegetables which are brought from Florida to New York and are ultimately marketed to consumers in New York and in ether northern cities.
 In this reference to one incident in the recent transportation of fruit from Flor ida and the various costs it entails un- til it reaches the consumer is to be dis covered excellent evidence of the eco- homie waste which is so prevalent. It undoubtedly will be brought to the atten- tion of Secretary Hoover. He has re- gently spoken with emphasis in favor or greatly increasing our transportation ta- cilities, making special reference to the economic value of increased water nav igation, that it is reasonable presump- tion that he will urge and undertake n every way in his power the utilization of all of these facilities, especially water navigation to their capacities
 FLORIDA ORANGE GROWERS
 Stretching a few miles westwardly from the Atlantic coast of Florida ana paralleling the St Johns river from Jack sonville to Palm Beach, the Indian river 1 flows. 1t bisects perhaps the richest | fruit growing district of Florida. A few miles from it's boundaries the virgin soil which is very rich produces much of the 1 early vegetable crop which has now reached very large proportions so far as the marketing of it in northern cities Is concerned.
 It is possible to take boat from Jack sonville or St. Augustine to Palm Beach
 { the other way upon Indian river BH l tie boat must be very small. and vii meet impediments to navigation. Yet this river could be easily improved SC that upon it could be floated vessels laden with fruit and oranges which would bt transferred at Jacksonville to the coast wise steamers which ply between that city and the northern ports
 Men of capital of the north, some oi whom are citizens of New York, have invested in these Florida lands, and have
 been cultivating oranges and vegetable.

 Tn these circumstances I have n3 choice and l assure you it always will be a pleasure to me to think that have been able to help you in the sfeat work which, since you became prime minister, you have done. It is necessity which compels me to aban- don any hope of giving you any as- sistance in the difficult task which TOW confronts you
 MT. Lloyd George repeatedly choked Lack sobs during the reading cf the | letter He was only able to say he had hoped that short period of rest might enable his friend to return to his ceties. but that medical opinion, which he consulted. was that MT. Bonar Law would need muc.l more prolonged period of rest and freedom from worry. Tben the prime minister flung him. self back into his seat with a gesture. Indicating his inability to continue. REGRET IS EXPRESSED Former Premier Herbert H. Asquith, liberal. and John Robert Clynes, la borite. expressed on behalf of their parties regret at the retirement of Mir Bonar Law and hope for his speedy recovery
