Alta Iona, Texas, March i5.--More than
fifty Years ago--I quote from memory
there lived on the shore of one OF the
numerous small lakes in Central New York
a Scotch Irlshman bv the name Of John
Johnston. Part of his farm was wet and
hoggy Having been familiar with nm
derdraining in the old country he resolved
70 tile his wet land, but upon looking about
him for tile he learned that there was mona

CALIFORNIA RA1sINs IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK March 2-The Journal Of Com
merce says: The impression among those here
who have closely watched recent developments
in the Coast raisin industry is that yesterday
meeting would result in no definite action
Postponement for a week or more would prob
ably be had, and during the interval every
effort would be made to secure the cooperation
of recalcftrant growers. Even in the event OF
final failure to reorganize the association. little
fear seems to be felt that the market will be-
come iemoralized by dumping upon it the bal
ance Of the stock controlled by the association.
Officers Of the association, II is claimed, nave
virtually made a contract with every 1oober
who has bought not to permit the market 10
decline below prices fixed by the association
during the balance of the season, and II is con
f7dently believed that they will carry out the
agreement made several weeks ago when reso-
lutfons were passed to sell what stock re-
rnaie1ld If not taken by regular distribute
TO wineries or for export. The stock held by
the association is said not to exceed 500 cars,
though in quarters 1t is believed TO pe lVu
or 200 cars more. Whether 500 or 500 cars. TINS
stock is understood TO represent almost the
entire holdings Of first hands on the Coast,
outsiders having little nothing left. Last
wear at this time the visible supply in nrst
hands exceeded 1000 cars. Thus, while there
may he no renewal of the growers agreement,
conservative people believe there Is little rea-
son 10 expect there will be much If any decline
in prices should the combination not be con
tinued particularly as. present supplies In the
hands Of distributors in the East are com
paratively light and the stock now in sight
will have to supply the market for at least six

NEW YORK. March 2.--The stock market

incidental rallies. There. was an appearance

though the Changers were still under pres

issued preliminary to the settlement between
the Central Pacific Railroad and the Govern

was a natural accompaniment of the firmer
tone in money, indicating that an increased
demand for money might contract the volume
of American funds now loaned abroad. There
were denials from bank officials of the cur
rent assertion that undue discrimination was
being exercised against the industrial collater-
al. Selling orders appeared from Boston and
Chicago houses, and London, while trading
both ways moderately, took rather less stock
than IL sold. By the bear attacks, many
stop-loss orders were uncovered which ac-

nearly everything while especially heavy fea-
