tion of the raisin traRic that wss threat
ened bv the disagreement of the CAL
ifornia producers and the New York and
Chicago fruit brokers, hes been broken
and the yield of the San joaquin valley
is being rapidly shipped eastward. This
raisin combine refused to sell this years
crop except in California, intending to
force the eastern buyers to ceme to CAL

eastern dealers refused to do this and
there was a deadlock. The raisins were
stored at Fresno until the warehouses
became overcrowded. when the combine
discovered it could store it's pro-
duct in the east as cheaply
az in California. Accordingly the
rsisins are being shipped to central
points like Kansas City. st. Louis, Chi
csgo, Philadelphia and New York. The
product will be held at these points to
await call for it, when it will be mar
keted by the combine Fifty-seven car
loads left New York, and many moro
win speedily follow.

shipments OF California fruits to eastern
points were made: Raisins, 2S0 car
loads; other dried fruits. including
prunes. 100 carloads; deciduous green
fruits, $500 carloads; canned fruits and
