there is more reason for q boom

Citrus Industry Profitable
Oranges now bring about 81 per
box and grapefruit about $3.50 per
bow on the trees. Cost OF grow
ing is about 60 cents a box. This
is more than citrus sometimes sold
for before the war. The average
yield is about $50 boxes per acre
for oranges and about $50 boxes
per acre for grapefruit The total
Florida crop has grown from 3d.
100000 boxes in 1881 to an est.
mated 6s.000,000 boxes for this
season. Many groves are now pro-
ducing as much money as the en-

Although sales comparisons were

Selected Stocks Up,
But Most Leaders
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, April 14.--Mild ris-
ing inclinations were displayed by
selected stocks in today's market,
but the general run of leaders ap-
peared to be asleep at the switch.
Turnover for the full session of
around 100000 shares was one of the
smallest for five-hour stretch Of
the past several months. A handful
of rails and industrial specialties
did fairly well from the start, while
most pivotals were at a standstill or
in slightly lower territory. Near
closing prices were moderately
mixed.
Investors nibbled here and there
on earnings prospects and the be-
lief that notable selling tinidity re-
Gently was confirmation of health
Ter technical position of the list.
Buying apathy, however, was eyi-
dent throughout and again was
blamed mainly on fears of trend
repercussions when the big Allied
European push gets under way.
Revived whisky dividend hopes
gave Park & Tilford a good lift.
Ahead most of the time also were
Santa Fe, American Can, Cuban
American Sugar, Douglas Aircraft,
Sears Roebuck and International

Trade Duel With Britain
Held Unlikely After War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 14.-Capt, L. d
Gammans, member of a British
goodwill trade delegation just con-
Guiding a visit to this country and
Canada, said yesterday he saw little
prospect of an international trade
duel between the two great English
speaking nations.
Capt. Gammans, who is a member
OF Parliament, did see some diver
gence OF thought in the two coun-
tries, asserting in statement:
Most businessmen in America
believe that, full employment can be
secured and properly maintained
solely on the basis of unrestricted
private enterprise.
We In Britain believe that there
must be partnership between private
enterprise and the state, organized
labor and management"
He forecast a world divided into
three economic blocks'-the Amer
1can continent, the Russian block
ana the sterling block consisting OF
Great Britain and those countries
who wish to export to her. :.
He said he could not see "hov the
United States is going to export al
all II she maintains a high tariff
policy. '"' If for good and suficient
reasons, the U. S. A. is not willina
to import, then she will not export )
