FREIGHT TARIFF ON ORANGES.


Rates to Eastern Cities to be Reduced
by Railroad Companies.
SAN FRANCISCO, June THE Southern
Pacific has joined the Santa Fe in prop
osition to reduce the rate on orange seed
lings shipped to Eastern points. The
proposed rate is 81 per 100 pounds in car
load lots of not less than $4,000 pounds.
The existing rate is 81 %. The rate will
apply only on seedlings and Mediter-
ranean sweets. The rate on navels and
other varieties will remain the same. 1t
is expected that the reduced rate will en-
able the growers to market the balance of
their crop of oranges at paying prices,
and save them from heavy loss. The
rate will apply to all Eastern points, in
Guiding the Atlantic seaboard.
