READY TO ADJOURN.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Today waa
the windup of all Legislative business
in the senate. Tonight, tomorrow and
sunday senators and representatives
will be leaving in every direction.
The senators who were recalled on
what the Democrats thought was
party expediency have left the city
again or will have departed before
Monday. Senator Harris recognized
that further legislation was cut of the
question and when the senate was
doing business behind closed doors he
had the order directing the sergeant

A few moments before adjournment

CALIFORNIA FRUIT SALE.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The first large
consignment of California fruit brought
to this country from New York by the
steamship Paris has aroused the great
est interest in England. When N. w.
West & Co. commenced To auction off
the California products shortly before
loon today at Convent Garden, this
city, there were at least 800 buyers
from all parts of England. An exami-
nation of this important consignment
showed that much OF it was picked too
late and consequently it arrived in so
ripe condition that it is necessary to
sell it to the consumer within As hours,
Other portions of the consigned fruit
were too lightly packed and
the sides of the boxes bulged
in consequence when on board the
Paris. The weight of other boxes
damaged the top and bottom rows of
the fruit. Some fruit which was
looser packed and in more open boxes,
sent by F. H. Buck of Vaca Villa,
Gala, stood the journey best. The
peaches arrived in poor condition, but
the nectarines were in fine shape. The
grapes and p.ums were all right, but
the buyers did not want the grapes,
because their quality was considered
interior to the English article. The
plums were also not in greet demand
because the market was already over.
loaded. The pear shipment also
struck bad market, as 10000 baskets
of French pears were offered today.
The first lots of California pears
fetched to shillings per toX. This
price was considered by the buyers to
be very cheap. The greener pears
were offered later and prices stiffened
to II and ~ shillings per box.
