The main point in handling the melon is to get it from the groWer to the market as speed- ilo. Later In the season, \s the first of October, the coasting schooners begin t o deliver cargoes of melons from points pn the coast within three or four days sail of Jtew York. Yeaoy street is ■ the place whore most o f the fruit vessels dispose of their car goes, and every morning from 2 to 9 a. m . the scene o n the pier is exceedingly interesting. Though'the melon is tho chief product being handled at the present time, peaches and pears from tho Southern orchards are coming into market in great abundance. Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are the favorite growing distrlots for tho latter frqits. Moat of the sohooners and railroad floats loaded with fruit reach the Washington mar ket piers before daylight. Tho jobber and grocer generally get the choice consignments, but with tho first streak of daylight the dusky Italian with his push-cart begins t o appear. The scene changes completely from what the market was two hours earlier. When tho street-corner vendor comes on the scene, the choicest fruit has disappeared and is on its way to the interior of the state, to the kitch ens of tho b ig hotels and the stores o f the reg ular dealers and grocerymen. But there is plenty left for the Italians. Very soon, ivilh much gesticulation and amid the continual din made by the chattering of the foreign monopolist of the sidewalk fruit stand, the thousands of these itinerant venders aro sup plied, and they Scatter thomselvos over tho city to make work for the doctors, undertak ers and the sanitary police. Gne oi tho largest fruit dealers in Washington market attempted to make an estimate of tho quantity of water melons and bannanas disposed of by these Italians, but hIs patience was unequal to his knowledge of arithmetio and h e gave it up. When an English tramp steamer arrives at Pier 6, North rivor, with a cargo of bana nas from the West Indies the Italians are al ways o n hand to purchase tho damaged fruit left by the regular dealers. There Is a large trade done in this fruit, and a t this season most o l it comes from Central America* Jamaica and Cuba. Up to the present time there had been received in this city from Jamaica 1,178,8841,178,884 buntunches b of banal , from Chiba 771,885 bunches. The seasoi proper has only just begun, but the receipts thus farthls year almost equal tho total re- lipts for 1887. It is estimated that the in- eased receipts of bananas per year are 40 lily from iftas, and creased receipts of bananas per year total Imports last yea mtral America and , _______ 823,702. From 1881 to the present time the imports of this fruit age load. So v ast has the banana business become that one New York firm has three flrst-oloss steamers constantly engaged in the trade. These steamers are specially construoted for carrying fruit. They have large storej: corns with plenty of ventilation, so that the fruit will not ripen too quickly in transit. Of course these enormous Imports are not all for local consumption. Shipments are made to Western cities, Chicago and tho Northwest as far a s Manitoba. Formerly New York was the only port at which the banana was re ceived, but since the trade has increased so extensively Boston, Philadelphia and Balti more are now importing the fruit. The yellow banana Importations are 40 per cent, more than those of the fed species. The sale of the red banana is confined to New York, the Eastern Stales and som e por tions o f Canada. The yellow fruit is preferred on account of its superior flavor and because it is more profitable to handle. In a buneh of yellow fruit there are just about twice as many bananas as in a bunch of the red va- Pineapples and other tropie.al fruits come from the West Indies and Central America on the regular steamers, but n o fruit is im ported in such quantities as the banana. Some Einsivo Gems. Every trade has peculiarities about i t that are inexplicable. A noticeable instance ol this is the strange manner in which diamonds and other precious stones disappear When accidentally dropped by a dealer while hand ling them. “It really seems,” said a jeweler, to a re porter, “that these valuable stones have the power of motion. A diamond dropped at one end of a room has been found in the dust at the further end of the apartment. “On another oeoaslon 1 saw a stone that was dropped to the floor from a loose sorting, and, after Lours of fruitless search, this same stone was found in the show window s ix feet from where i t felL BMER S SOU FINE GROCERS! 51 South Main Street. nm OYsifRS mim Diiim Grapes 6o. per pound or 50c. per Basket.
