. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. Ipll BETTER FRUIT Page 35 Europe during 1911. Tliis demand lias been increasing steadily for ten years, and in 1911 it has had a marked effect on the international shipment of lem- ons. The California crop in 1910-11 is the largest in the history of the state. Nearly twice as much fruit has been shipped into Eastern markets as in 1909-10, and the large increase over the crop of the preceding year has reduced the price of lemons to an unusually low level. Heretofore the Eastern markets have been controlled by the importers of Italian lemons, and each year since 1885 the wholesale price has been forced at some period during the summer months to -$6 to $12.50 per box. On account of the increase in the California crop in 1911 and the freer shipment of the fruit to Eastern markets the wholesale price of 132, 738 boxes of Italian lemons in New York in August, 1911, averaged about $2.60 per box, an average of less than ten cents per dozen. The average wholesale price of 143, 98(5 boxes of Italian lemons in New York in August in 1910, when the California crop was much lighter, was $3.67 per box. In an effort to hold the prices high the importers have endeavored to create a scarcity in the Eastern supply of lem- ons. They have been reshipping lem- ons to Europe since the first of August, and have withdrawn the fruit from the auction sales in New York whenever the price has been unusually low. Mr. Sciortino, a prominent New York lemon importer, is quoted as saying that .some of the exporters in Sicily would probably not permit the sale of lemons in New York at a price below $4 a box wholesale, on account of the higher prices in Germany and England, where, in referring to Germany, Mr. Sciortino states "that buyers there are willing to pay relatively higher prices than can be obtained in the American markets." There is a duty equivalent to one cent per pound on citrus fruits in Australia; 1.84 cents maximum and a free conventional duty on
