Wakeman that the cause of the low prices realized for Medford pears Is due to their arriving over-ripe. This fact Is caused by the poor service ren dered by the railroads, which have taken as long as twenty-six days, when eight or ten days Is the sched ule In ordinary years. The delayed service has resulted In poor Icing ser vice. Mr. Knight writes: ""I have been into New York city three times within the past few days to attend the auction sales of fruit ' iAtA r,A tha nnrthwoat II U 111 JUCUIV1U OUU w.w bu and it has been arriving in rather bad condition, nearly all ripe and some of it hardly fit to use, but ow- ing to the high prices for the past few days all kinds, even the ripe fruit, has Equal suffrage, national prohlbi- been bringing fair prices.

There Is a good market for all kinds of fruit, and bids fair to continue so. Late pears and apples are expected to bring the highest price for many years. In fact, Mr. Day of Goble & Day, who are old commission men long in the marKet Business, wia me,from M of thfl CQunty offered thls morning that he naa never seen such a high market, and he also stat ed that in his Judgment it would con tinue so for the balance of the sea son, which sounds good to the or chardists, who have had such a hard time during the past five or six years."
