market for California raisins is not as fiat

trouble has been experienced with buyers
who deem it expedient to reject goods COM
Ing in on contract for the most trivial rea-

unsettling values somewhat. A somewhat
similar experience with the deliveries of

effect upon the market. Those goods and
prices are, therefore, rather unsettled at the
moment. Doubtless the money situation
