SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, A YEAR, $2.50. JEWS HALF OF JERUSALEM POPULATION J e r u s a l e m — ( J . C. B.)— Jerusalem Jews constitute little more than half of the total population of Jerusalem, according to figures supplementary to the general census numbers recently published. Jews number 34,000 out of a total population of 62,000. The same ratio obtains also in the- Jaffa district where Jews constitute half of the population of 40,000. A slight decrease is reported in the Jewish population of the agricultural -colonies. Haifa is the only city in Palestine where the Christians predominate. - The orange trade of the Jaffa "district is in a bad way owing to the fall of price of the Palestinian orange in the English market, from 16 to 6 shillings.
