CALIFORNIA.
The Rival Fruit-sbippins Associations.
SAN FRANcIsco, July SHIN response to
a request for an explanation OF the dispatch
received by the California Associated Press
from Chicago that it was difficult to obtain
information concerning the California fruit
trains sent East by the California Fruit
growers Association. for the reason that
the firm which handles nearly all the Cali
fornia fruit is not in harmony with the
Fruit growers Association, the following
information was to-day given by the gentle
man in charge of the Fruit Union Office:
There are two distinct associated bodies
which ship fruit to the East-the Fruit
Union and the Fruit-growers Association,
Of Sacramento. The Union has not as yet
| sent any special train, composed entirely OF
| fruit cars 10 the East, but has contented
itself with shipments of four or five cars
daily, attached to the overland express
| trains, and paid transportation at the old
| tariff rates. The Fruit Association has, so
far this season, sent out two trains to the
| East, one of sixteen and one of eighteen
cars made up of fruit and general pro-
| duce, and sent them out at the new tariff
rates for trains of fruit cars exclusively.
| Next week the Union will also avail itself
of the new special fruit train rates. Under
the old tariff, $500 per single car
was the rate. Under the new tariff the
rate is 81 500 per train of fifteen cars
or less, and each extra car up to eighteen
cars-the limit of cars allowed to be hauled
over the roads-is $500 per car extra. These
! fruit trains are exclusively for fruit and
produce, and are run on special through
| express time. The kinds of fruit the Union
| has shipped this season are apricots, OF
which so far there have been sent about go
! tons from Nacaville and Winters alone.
! The price for apricots this year in the East
has advanced. and Gamers are now offering
| SIC pound for sound fruit, against cents
a pound which they paid last year.
