Los ANGELES, Dec. %.
The long expected carload OF eaDtern eggs ar
rived yesterday morning and went Off like hot
cakes. BY noon the market was about cleaned
up, many OF the commission men being unable
to get enough OF them to supply their custom
ers They went ct zoe and no questions asked.
Ranch eggs were exceedingly scarce and sold at
49,. 1t is expected they will begin coming in
shorty in large quantities. 1t is not probable
that any more easterns will be imported this
season, as ranch eggs viii likely be supplied In
sufficient quantity from now on TO I'LL the de-
mand.

ANOTHER INFANT INDUSTRY.
An enterprising gentleman has recently start.
ed in os Angeles factory for manufacturing
evaporated soup vegetables that promises to de-
veiop into an industry of considerable import
ance. The enterprise was first started at San
Diego, but finding that city was too remotely
located for distributing purposes, and the cup
ply of suitable vegetables being scarce, the
proprietor decided to remove his plant to Los
angeles. Operations have just been started on
q small sea at 235 East Second street, the same
difhculty being experienced here in obtaining q
supply of suitable vegetables az at San Diego.
ParsnIps, turnips, carrots and Hubbard squash
are in the greatest demand. Scarcely any are to
be had except from Cinnamon, and thee only
in small gu sntites. The objection to Chinese
vegetables is that they are forced too much with
irrigation aud hence are too watery. White
farmers who will engage in the raising of these
vegetables viii be assured of good market If
the new indus ry continues to flourish. At
present the factory can use only about Il ton
day, and even this limited quantity, OF quail
ty suitable for the purpose. is hard TO get.
The metnod OF preparing the soup vegetables
is as follows: They are first thoroughly washed
and scrRped, then run through a machine That
cuts them into strings resembling vermicelli;
next they are placed in thin layers on screen

hot air draft Is applied, and in u remarkably
short time al the water is evaporated and the
vegetables come out crisp and dry and giving
out a delightful aroma. The different varieties
are then mixed in the proper proportions to
make delicious foup, and put up in conven.

of these packages is sufficient for four quarts of
SOUP Seversl leading grocers have undertaken
the task of introducing the article for house
hold consum ption. aud they say there is not the
least doubt that it will become u staple not
only locally, but wherever vegetable soup is
priced and eaten
Potatoes sweet potatoes onions and all sorts
of fruits and vegetables are evaporated by the
process above described, and when prepared
for use are as palateble as the fresh article.
Fish aud meats can be preserved in the same
manner with equal success. The proprietor of
the factory says the flesh of rabbit evapo-
rated in Australia was sent to the Paris exposi-
tion and then back to Melbourne, where IL was
served at a leading hotel as fresh rabbit.
A. Z. Griffith, ar enterprising rancher and
property owner at Azusa, was inspecting the
evapora ting plant yesterday, with view to
putting in similar one st Azuss; ,n, ,slso posi-

TRADE REVIEW.
Z. W Burnham, local manager for r. G. Dun
& Co., says in the current number of the In
vestor The past week has been a busy one in
the retail trade. snd the merchants generally
report sales considerably in excess of the
corresponding week in 'J3. Jobbing trade
for the same week has not been very
brisk, but this was not unexpected,
Inventory season is now at hand and mer.
chants wi buy from hand to mouth until after
January 1. Tine fruit crop has commenced to
shipped last week.. The crop 10 reported of
good quality and fair quantity. The expense
OF packing ought to be less than. ever before
and there see ms no good reauon why the conn-
try should not have fairly prosperous season.
The prospects FOR an active business

gates-his name is legion and he ex-
presses himself az happy and glad to be here.
men from all parts of the country than ever be-
fore. While many are here only for the win
ter. there are more who have come to make
their homes than in any season OF our history.
There have been no failures reported since our
last issue, and we hope Southern California has
seen the last Of hard times.
