THE ORANGE MARKET" Oranges, sweet
oranges, ten cents a Dozen can be heard
from the retail huckster daily in every
street in this city Buta few years age
this delicious citrus fruit was to be found
only AZ fruit stands, and was considered
cheap at ten cents each. or three for a quar-
ter of dollar. During the past few years
however, orange groves have sprung up all
over the State, from San Diego TO Shasta,
until the fruit has almost become a drug
on the market The wholesale dealers OF
this city within the past few weeks have
been receiving large shipments from Los
Angeles and Riverside; in fact the
invoices are so large and numerous
that there is a prospect of the mar
ket becoming glutted. In conversation
with reporter yesterday one of the largest
commission merchants in this city, and
one who has been in the business for many
years, said he had no fears of over-produc-
ton. \ few years ago the oranges sold in
this market and in fact throughout central
and northern California, were an insipid,
inferior and high-priced fruit. The cOnse-
quence was that few people cared for them,
families did not purchase them for table
section single oranges were not sold then
This may look like an eXaggeration, he re-
marked. but three wholesale houses in this
city have within the past five days sold
1000 cases. The price per case ranges from
81 % 70 81. The naval is Il large, SeedleSs,
sweet orange, and Just now demands the
highest price. Some three Years ago
oranges sold At - cents per box III this
market. and from information from the
southern counties the dealers here are Of
the belief that the crop will be 50 abundant
that good oranges will be sold this season
as low a. 81 case. The crop of Euba
Placer Butte and Sacramento counties this
year was largely in excess of any former
wear. and had quite an influence on pre-
Vailing local prices.

As To RECORDS "A correspondent writes
to the RECORD UNION from Grizzly Flat as
follows; VIII YOU please tell me if 4 race
horse can make a record without running
for a purse or gate money? And ii an
owner of a race horse can send his own
jockey from his stable to run 4 race \
horse can gain a record by going for any
valuable consideration "a cup Il whip.
etc; or when his owner or manager makes
wager rs to his performance. The second
question is rather blind. The owner of a
horse can, OF course, send the animal to
run race under the management of his
jockey or any other agent, without attend
ing the race himself, if that is what the
correspondent inquiries concerning.
