The market in now glutted with tropical fruits
of all kiude. A visit to either ono of tho largo mar
kets lying upon tho rlvor will provo of intorost to
anyone who desires information upon tho traffic
carriod on in foreign fruits. Pilos of pine-apples.
quantities of bananas, hoxos of orange? and
lemons, lie about tho docke at thoso points, with
out rogard to regularity or ownership, all await
ing transportation. Tho amount of monoy invest
or, m this trade is immouso, yot it is carried on in
-inch a loose, dotaclied manner as almost to pre
clude tho possibility of arriving at any bat is factory
statistics in roforonco to it.
The men ongagotl in the business are not of tho
class ono would suspect or conducting great on
tornrwes, or of directing capital to successful ro
aulls. One of tho largest dealers in tropical
fruits is tho proprietor of a modost stand in
Fulton Marko!, whore only a fow specimens of his
fruit are to bo booh, but under whoao direction
fully ono-half tho importations and shipments are
made. Ho owns sovoral vessels which are em
ployed in this trudo oxdueivoly, and has, in
addition, cargo upon cargo consigned to him to be
disposed of. Ho has, as havo eovoral other deal
ers, accumulated a fortuno in tho trade, yet no
ono of thoBO individuals is ablo to givo an approxi
mate idea of the amount of capital invested in tho
business, its extent, nor any statistics which tho
curious would like to know. From various
sources wo succeeded in obtaining a fow facts,
whioli wo present :
Pinoapples aro mostly obtained from the Wost
India inlands. They aro brought here principally
by English vossols, which, at other seasons, aro
transformed into wreckers and coasters among
the islands. Largo plantationa there are given
up almost exclusively to tho cultivation or this
luscious fruit, and aro produced in auch quanti
ties that it is at timos almost impossible to give
thorn away, Tho maBtors of tneeo vagabond
- schooners, failing in speculations elaewhore, touch
at theso various porta aud load with this fruit,
which they purchaeo from tho planters at from
twonty-fivo to fifty cents por dozon, in gold. The
few American schooners engaged in the trade
Lavo arrangements mado with particular planters
for their cargoes, and often tako out in paymont
carg?os of sugar, flour, toa and rum.
Large numbers of pineapples are lost on the
"voyage from rot, to prevent which the schooner's
- crew is usually kept busy in sorting over the fruit.
Tho loss, however, on all cargoes will average
about 15 per cent from tho time it is taken on
board until it ia disposed of to rotailora. Purchas
ed there at 50 cents per dozon, in gold, they re
tail here at tho prosent timo for $15 per dozen?
. yet tho dealers claim that but littlo profit is made,
- on account of the groat number which spoil. The
fiineapplo season lasts from the 1st of May to tbe
aat of July. Thero havo arrived at this port this
season about fifty cargoes of this fruit, each cargo
averaging about 4500 pineapples. From hero thoy
are shipped to all parts of the country, in such
1 quantities as may be desired. This season tho
fruit has been of a good quality, and the market
'well supplied. Last joar there waB but little over
'?half a crop, owing to a threo months' drouth, and
what was Bavod waa of au inferior quality.
Bananas are obtained principally from Baracoa,
Tat the eastern extremity of the Island of Cuba,
-and are brought hero by tho samo vessels which
bring the pineapples, tho cargo generally ombra
(ring a quantity of each; 1000 hunches of bananas
- are about tho average amount brought by each
schooner. This season there havo been about
200,000 bunches in market. They are purchased
for about half a dollar in gold por bunch, and sell
horo at from ono to two dollars per bunch. Tho
per centago of loss is about tbo same as with
pineapples. Bananas aro iu season from March
xill tho last of July. While many of thoso wo re
ceive aro of nalnrul growth, the finest are culti
vated expressly for this market.
Oranges and lemons are obtained from several
'different places, and are constantly arriving
fresh. The West ludia islands furnish us our
-winter supply, tho islands of the Mediterranean
thon? required In spring, while, the Mont?n fruit
fills up the interim. The largest supply of oranged
aud lemons is obtained from tho ports* of Palormo
and Messina, in tho Island of Sioily. Thoy
are now iu soaso?, and are usually considered the
finest brought to this market. About eighty car
goes of oranges and lemonB have arrived this
year, averaging 6000 boxos to the'oargo. They
cost, whero purchased, from $1 to $2 per box, and
sell hero at from M to $6. Tho fruit brought
early in tbe season requires no handling before
< delivery to retailors, hut that arriving low has
all to bo sorted over. Fully ten per ce*it. of all
arriving during tbe summer month?; is spoiled.
Havana oranges are considered excellent, but the
.supply is limited. Limes come with tbo oranges
. and lemons; large quantities being disposed of in
.the large cities.
Gocoanuta aro brought from Baracoa, Ruatan,
Brand and several other places. The supply is
regular and tho demand steady. All fruit vossels
bring cocoanuts in grcator or lesserj quantities,
.-and many are also brought in rognlar merchant
- vessels. It is impossible ta approach an estimato
of the quantity brought*to market, in conse
quenco of this irregularity in their arrival. The
fruit sohooners bring hundreds of thousands of
? them every season. They aro usod principally by
confectioners, iu the manufacture of candy, and
by pastry cooks, who ueo largo quantities in tbe
milking of pies.

a modorato Inquiry to-day, which mlgh>*havfi resulted
t in heavy aggregate salea had factors manifested a dispo
sition to meet tho vlows of buyers, but.thu foimcr were
Inexorable, and there were but fow large lists of even
.running or of good staple Cotton exposed for sa'o at any
time. A moderate business transpired neveitheless,
but for tbe most part, it was restricted to small and
Irregular lots, which afford no correct indication of the
.actual condition of tbe market. The total operations
foot up 1300 bales, divided among nine brokers, at irre
gular prices, and'tbo market closed, as it has done dally

, shipment to Liverpool on account of holders, which,
with, previous engagements, make an aggregate of 1850
bales for tbe weelc, on tho part of planters' and factors,
but we do not include such shipments in our reports of
n actual sales, and only refer to them for the purpose of
. showing that larger supplies of Foreign Exchange may
reasonably be expected to soon appear upon the market.
The total salea for the week have boen CiOO bales
against 4160 bales last week, and 4137 bales tho week
previous. Tbo net receipts for tho week have been re
stricted to 2576 bales, against 8169 bales last week and
