| Los ANGELES, Feb. 2.
The close OF the week fin Is the orange men
happy and smiling as ever-sven more SO
Everything seems to be going the Southern
California orsnge-growers' way this season
The brief period of an xiety that was felt in
| few exposed districts on account of cold night
has passed away The weather has again bs
| come comfortably warm, and the fruit is abso
lutely out of all danger from frost, though, as
matter OF fact, no real danger has at any tim
existed. Picking and packing goes on apace
and the fruit il sold as fast as 1t can bs placeC
aboard the cars. That is the situation in nut
ahell.
The trade in winter vegetables is getting
quite brisk. Shipments are heavier now than
atany previous time this season. Prices are
improving also. Good cabbage is now worth
of garden tuck is in good demand at the enst
SIS the eastern stock is all used up.
larger area of potatoes is being planted
this season than usual, and spuds will be
plenty few months hence.
The market for all sorts Of fruits, both dried
and green. is improving.

Poultry is weaker. cold storage supplies hav-
ing de pressing effect on live birds.
Provisions show little change.
Grain and milstufs ar9 quis'. Blrley has
been phenomenallv weak, onsidering the
shortness of last years crop, IS cents being the
price offered for feed few days ago. Indica-
tions ara, however, that better press will pre-
vail be fore tn new crop is harvested
Little is doing in hides and wool. The de-
mand for wool is improving, but the price is
still too low to make the marketing OF last
years clip profitable. This is almost the first
time in the history of the wool industry in
Southern California that any considerable
amount of the clip was carried over from one
year to the next. good deal of last years
wool crop is still stored waiting for a rise in
the market. The recent rains have assured u
heavy Clip the coming spring Sheep are re-
ported in exec lent condition
Hay rem aims high despite the abundant pas
ture. Draugnt animals must have nay, and as
little of the last crop remains unconsumed'
prices will be high until the new crop comes
in, when they will go low enough, as the next
crop will b. an abundant one.
