MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
J. NJ. Avery, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Manufacturing Interests. said:
Sacramento city is in the midst of the
largest and most productive fruit section in
this State, and thousands of dollars worth
OF fruit goes to waste annually, because it
ripens too fast for export and the facilities
for canning are inadequate TO handle the
crops. AS to the benefits derived from
such industries, take Santa Clara valley for
an example. 1t has several canneries,
| three of which are in the town of San
Jose. They are money-making establish
ments, ID perfect boon to the iruit-raiser.
The committee has decided to organize a
company, to be known as the Sacramento
Fruit Packing, Canning and Drying Com
pany. To that end they have secured a
refusal for thirty days of the ST. Louis
Brewery property, corner of Sixth and G
| streets, for SIS, COO. 1t is admirably located
as fruit can be unloaded from cars at the
front doors of the warehouse The lot is
l5Oxl6O two-stOry brick building, with
cemented cellars beneath, extends from G.
to the alley, 100 feet, is 80 feet in width. in
excellent repair, and will need but little
changing to adapt it to the business. The
buildings on this property cost originally
over $4,000. 1t contains an engine with
capacity sufficient for all power purposes,
and no better location for the handling of
fruit and the product Of the cannery could
be found within the city limits. The
projectors propose forming a corporation,
say OF 5000 shares, at a par value of SO
each. The property can be purchased by
payment of So 600 cash, and leaving a
mortgage of 5000 thereon for term of
years at low rate of interest. Surely no
better opportunity for a safe investment
was ever offered in this city, and the capital
stock will ali be spoken for before the same
can be issued. This, besides giving the
fruit-growers an opportunity to save every
pound of their fruit, will give employment
to hundred or more white men and
women, boys and girls"
He said that they were none too soon in
securing their option on the property, for
on the day following it could have been
sold at an advance TO party who wished
to make of it a cooperage The parties
who have the matter in charge were out
half an hour yesterday, and in that brief
space OF time six individuals subscribed
for 700 shares of the stock Those wishing
stock can secure the same of w. D. May

The following circular has been issued;

Manufacturing Interests desires to state that
from all the information it has gained on the
subject OF fruit-canning and drying, there is no
industry more important locally and none that
offers greater inducements to those looking for
an investment which Will pay large returns in
the near future. This view is fully sustained
by the experience of those who have been en-
gagged IN the business for the past four years in
other places, and which as to location ETC. do
not possess advantages equal to those of Sacra-
mentO.

?. e. Plat, Joseph Steffens, G. W. Han
cock, f. f. Tebbets, A. S. Hopkins and ].
o. Coleman spoke in favor of the proposed
cannery. all agreeing that here was an ex-
cellent opportunity for the starting of such
an enterprise, and said they thought the
capital stock would easily be disposed of to
business men and fruit growers.
The Secretary reported that at the ad-
journed meeting of the special committee
to arrange for the opening of the Perma-
nent Exhibition, they recommended as
follows
That the rooms occupied by the Emf
grafton Association and the Improvement
Association be vacated on the LIST of Nav

the Association be held in the Exposition

Also, that the opening be devoid of dis
play or parade, but confined strictly to
business.
