A MELON CORNER.
Report of a Combination
of Firms.
Possibility of the Price of the Re-
freshing Fruit Being Kept to
High Water Mark.

The watermelon season is at hand. The
crop is an average good one and the first
shipments of the cool. sweet and juicy
fruit are coming in. The earliest in the
market reach San Francisco from the
south. Arizona forwarded her first con-
signment north about three weeks ago.
Tie Los Angeles and Fresno melons sup
piled the local market until Wednesday
last, when the first carload of the season
arrived from Lodi, which is San Fran
cisco's principal source of supply. The
man who desires to indulge in the luxury
of cutting watermelon must be prepared
to see his dollar first cut in two by the
costermonger. AS soon, however, as the
Lodi producers increase their output
those who yearn Tor the luscious melon
may hope to buy one without having to
pay more than Is OF % cents for the artl-

there exists a combination among certain
dealers in this city to maintain prices at

the trade is practically under their con-
troll.
Riley & Enos at the corner OF Davis and
Oregon streets. and Murray Il Co. and
Wolf & Sons on Davis street. were visited
by CALL reporter yesterday. They
denied very positively that they were cog
infant of any attempt to corner the water
melon product or TO keep prices up.
The further statement was made by
them that prices were likely to rule as in
former years and be governed by the law
of supply and demand. The business of
trading in watermel0Ee, they said. was
always very precarious, as so much
depended upon the state of the weather.
A run OF hot days always greatly stimu-
lated the demand. A spell of cool weather
had the opposite effect. The summer thus
far had not been favorable for heavy trans
actions in this line.

A DOUBLE CHECK.
De Van Talks of the
National Banks.
An Additional Examiner to Be Ap-
pointed for the District of
California.

At present w. B. Witeman fills the Office
of National Bank Examiner for the dis
trict OF California, and 10 date there has
been no question as to his removal. 1t is
currently understood. however, that an
be appointed by COMPTROLLER of the Cur
rency Eckels, and for this position Frank
W. de Van of Los Angeles is now making
canvass among his friends in this city.
Although Mr.. de Van is quite a young
man he has ideas which. If not quite origi-
nal, are strongly put.
THE national banks" said he yesterday
to a CALL reporter. ''in my opinion re-
Quire greater safeguards than exist at
present. To begin with, one of the rea-
sons for creating another office in this
district is that each examiner may inves-
tgate into the affairs of bank at differ
ent times and thus act as a check one on
the other.
Again, national banks do not offer th g
security that the State banks do under tn he
law. The directors and stockholders of
national banks are only liable for twice
the amount Of the capital, while the direc-
tors and stockholders of State bank are
personally liable for the full amount of
liabilities of deposits, irrespective of the
capital.
Now. just imagine how smart men
with surplusage OF brain but little money
may manipulate things if they see fit. The
directors are permitted 10 borrow 10 per
cent of the capital stock. These ten men
can each borrow $4,000, giving their notes
at ninety days. BY their taking, say, four
of the notes they can get bank to dis
count them. Taking the $40, 900 raised in
this way, $4,000 is invested. as required,
in Government bonds to secure the circu-
lation of $4,000 worth OF national bank
notes.
with the remaining $4,000 on hand the
bank can be opened and a few dollars
made to glitter in the coin trays. Within
the following ninety days if enough money
is not received to redeem the notes, the
business Of the town mus be so poor that
bank is certainly not required. Men
depending on trickery would never at
tempt such a scheme. save when there was
good opening for business; in such case
there seems little reason why nation al
bank should not be started without a dol
lar.
I'm San Francisco you are evidently not
prejudiced in favor of national banks"
continued MIR. de Van, "for out of some
twenty-five ,or twenty-three banking in
stltutlons there are only two atlonal
banks. In Los Angeles there are four.
and at San Diego two out of the four banks
are national ones. At the last named city
there were. three national banks, but one
came to grief recently"
