of California Ornnnes

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 3.-More
than 1000 carloads of oranges have been
shipped out of Southern California this
season up to date, and the big movement
of the fruit continues. Its estimated that
fully fifty carloads are now being shipped
out daily.
At the Southern California Fruit Ex
change it was learned this morning that
0000 boxes OF oranges are on the Wav 10
New \ ork from Italy, and will arrive in a

of causing a considerable falling off in the

Thomas Sexton is favored by Nc
