The death toll from the storm and cold today was placed conservatively at fifty. This included fatalities directly due to the cold—cases where victims were found frozen to death—and those attributable indirectly to the weather—victims of fires started from overheated furnaces and various other causes. The casualty toll over the weekend included two men found frozen to death in the lee of Haaslem drain, near West Holland, Mich. In the property damage was listed the destruction of the Methodist church at Sparta, Wis., by fire and a disastrous fire which caused a business block in Fort Wayne, Ind., and threatened the entire business section of the city.

Prices have been steadily advancing and are expected to continue doing so; the fruit is of excellent quality; there is no big surplus hanging over, contrary to certain other years; and the demands of consumers should keep markets from congesting.

It is estimated 75-100 the week following, after which shipments will be strung out in smaller and smaller quantity.
