together for some time. quorum con-
sists Of 1879 shares. and there were but 81
present. The president announced that it
would be i'm possible to transact any BUSH
ness, but those who we're present would
doubtless be interested in hearing the
reports OF the officers. Mr.. Kernaghan
made few practical remarks in connec-
tion with the manner of conducting the
associatiun's business, one of the main
points being as to the desirability OF
shipping only good fruit, since when
poor fruit is sent out not only are the
receipts email but the credit of the asso-
Grafton is injured at the same time. Mr..
Kernaghan thought there should be a
ella use in the new agreement with the
growers by which the shipping of poor
fruit would be pronibitetd. He also stated
that the banks of Los Angeles bad an
nounced their willingness to make ad-
vnncaB OF cash on warehouse receipts,
thus enabling the association to handle
the crop with emptiness and dispatch.
]. r. Jones, secretary of the association,
submitted full and detailed statement
of the past season. business. and balances
due growers were paid over. From the
state nient the following figures are taken:
Boxes OF oranges marketed through the
exchange. 20. 294; boxes of lemons, SIS;
total, 81. 100 boxes.

$764. 80; packing fruit, $651.6l; labor,
Sis. 80; paper, $473.07; nails, 5000.
The total shipments of II. 100 boxes of
fruit. equal to about seventy cars, are
TAR greater than those of last year, wnen
the association shipped but forty two
cars. The increase shows that grow
ers are becoming more and more
net proceeds to growers on fruit handled

Manager Weight then addressed the
meeting briefly, saying that while it was
with great regret that he announced the
Ia W prices received for fruit, still this was
not owing TO any fault of -he association,
but to the glut in the market occasioned
by the large i'm portaitons of foreign fruit.
and to other circumstances beyond their
control.
Weight expressed himself proud of what
the association had done and forcibly ar
gued that il was only on the line of CO.
operation that the fruit growers of South
ern California could hope to produce
steady and high market for their fruit.
Mr.. Moorehouse. who acted as agent of
the association in New York, was then
introduced ana gave his account of the

depot, where the fruit was sold.
