GROWERS WILL BUILD CARS.
THEIR OWN REFRIGERATORS
THE SOLUTION.
Eight Hundred Modern Cars Will
be Built for Next Seasons
Fruit Crop.

The Executive Committee of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Association had a
long, painstaking session all day yes
terday with full attendance. Prompt
ly at 10 a. m. every member of the
committee was present at the Supreme
Court rooms and the many propositions
offered as solution of the refrigerator
car proposition We're canvassed. At the
end of their deliberations they unani-
mously resolved to build their own re-
frigerator cars. This cannot be done
in time to be of any use this year, but
the growers Will be wholly ready next
season.
1T will require about $50 cars" said
r. D. Stephens last night, land they
can be obtained at a probable maxi
mum cost of $500 each. There are
about 100 growers interested with US
now, but many more will fall in line;
and other interests heartily indorse the
plan and give us their support"
The following resolutions, adopted at
the conclusion of the days delibera-
tions, show just what will be done to
solve the problem:
"The Executive Committee, chosen by
the recent convention of fruit growers
of California to perfect such a plan of
organization as should result in pro-
noting their best interests and securing
their release from the present method of
fruit transportation and marketing that
threatens to involve them i'm disastrous
loss, if not financial ruin, has given
most careful consideration to the whole
subject, and has reached this unani-
NOUS conclusion:
"First-That the fruit growers organ
ize for mutual protection.
''Second-That the fruit growers form
a corporation for the purpose of owning
and operating a refrigerator car line.
'"Third-That the fruit growers. organ
ize for the purpose of marketing their
fruit and fruit products. In doing this
they viii be allowed the utmost liberty
in the disposal of their fruit either by
through our own representatives in the
large cities, our agents, or through
Messrs. Porter, or Earl, or any agent
whom the grower or shipper designates.
'"The Executive Committee has called
meetings at Newcastle for Thursday
evening, June 1st; Suisun Saturday at
p. m, June Sd; Vacaville Saturday
evening ait 8 o'clock. All the principal
fruit sections in the Sacramento and
San Joaquin Valleys and all other fruit

COMEDY OF ERRORS.
A Genuine Case of Calls Well That
Ends Well"

A young man named Green left his
horse and buggy on Fifth street, near
K, yesterday morning, while he attend
ed to some business in that vicinity. 1t
happened that Tom Lovdal and E. c..
Horst, who We're in an office in the Stoll
building, had a few minutes before or
dered a horse and buggy from livery
stable, and seeing Green tie his horse
and go away, they took it for granted
that the outfit was the one they had or
dered.
They therefore entered the buggy and
drove off, and shortly afterward the
stable rig came up and took the place
vacated by that of Green. Later in the
day policeman who had seen the horse
tied there for hours returned it to the
stable.
In the meantime Green was hunting
the town for the men who had stolen"
his horse and buggy. They had long

he demanded his property they referred
him to the proprietor of the stable who
-as they supposed-had sent the horse
and buggy to them.
Then Green began to get angry. and
finally he applied to the police for the
arrest of the men who refused to give
him his horse and buggy. This brought
the affair to a focus, and when Lovdal
and Horst discovered their mistake
they made due apology to Green, who
accepted the situation.

COTTON MARKET MORE ACTIVE.

Col
New York, June 22.-Interest is reviv-
ing in the cotton market, with the wider
ranges of prices. and considerable activ-
ity characterized business today.
The bull element have apparently aband-
oned all hope of improving prices by US
ing the old cry of cheapness and prosper
Gus times, and it seems probable that
supply and demand simply will rule the
market, for time at least. AS to the
supply there is enough on hand for all
requirements and the prospective crop is
doing too well to hope for curtailment.
The demand from mills is too slow.
No attempt should be made to forecast
the probable course of the market from
day to day, but many do not hesitate to
express the conviction that the drain is
not 10 be arrested more than temporar-
lily, unless the crop experiences a set
back The market may be oversold for
a while, but fresh breaks are most Likely
to considerably lower figures. 1t lookel
at one time this morning as if the liqui-
dation was about over, early prices hav-
ing advanced to 4 points, under the lead
of Liverpool. Before a great while there
was a decided change in the situation,
however. All support appeared to be with
drawn. and a fresh selling movement Of
liberal proportions sent prices down 10
points. Weather and crop accounts to-
day could not have been better. Gables
were 1872 lower for spots, and 2 lower
for futures. The closing prices for the
day were little changed from those of
Yesterday.

HOME FOR WORKING WOMEN.
The Business Mems Association In
tcrested in the Enterprise.


tcrested in the Enterprise.
For some weeks past movement has
been quietly organizing under the direc-
tion of the Business Mems Association
looking to the establishment of a home for
industrial women who may become in
capacitated from earning livelihood either
by age, accident, or sickness.
Mr.. Mexican, the secretary of the asso-
citation, has given the subject much
thought and considers his plans practical
and feasible. He says he has very fully
discussed the subject with many friends,
all of whom have heartily endorsed the
idea and promise material support. The
proposed home will not be conducted as
public charity, but will be supported
entirely by industrial women, although
the most of them may never expect to
avail of its advantages. few cents con-
tributef weekly by those regularly en-
ployed will in the aggregate create a fund
sufficient to erect and maintain a home
with large capacity.
A tract of very desirably situated land
in the immediate vicinity of this city.
commanding view of all Washington and
easy of access, has been offered for the
location of the home. In a few days a
conference of prominent industrial men and
women will be held with Secretary Nc
Kean, after which a thorough organization
will likely be perfected and active work
commenced to carry out the project.

The stock market yesterday cannot be
said to have presented any new features,
business being confined almost entirely
TO the professional traders, who ham
mered away at prices all day, with the
usual lack of result, in the standard is
sues. The amount of business do2e was
small, and the number OF stocks in which
no quotations occurred was large. The
steel stocks, Sugar, and the New York
traction securities were again the objects
OF attack, and in all OF these securities
there were recessions for the day. There
was also again heavy selling of the To-
bacco stocks, but in their case the buy
ing Was also good, so that no material
losses were scored. From day to day the
record OF general prosperity throughout
the country is continued, with hardly
Disappointing factor. The crop news is
beginning to improve. The railroad earn
ings increase steadily over those Of the
big business of last year. There is no
sign OF an abatement in the demand for
iron and steel products or of lower
prices. Such being the case. and with
chances favoring even a better condition
than that now existing, the people who
believe in higher prices are still in the
majority. both In numbers and import
ance The explanation of the lack OF
buoyancy In the market is not an alb
struse one. The public, while believing
iu higher prices. viii not have confidence
enough TO buy stocks until the level has
begun to move upward rapidly. as it never
believes in anything in the stock market
until II is nearly past The bull leaders
who are buying few stocks all the time
are able TO do SO without advancing prices
because the bear traders continue to sell
stocks short. The movement need not
be expected until the leaders are ready to
begin an active bull campaign AS has
been stated before in this column, there
are excellent reasons for believing that
this movement Will be inaugurated be-
fore the beginning OF July. and continued

Company Directors Meet.

New York, June 22.-The board of di
rectors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad Company today ratified the con-
tract by which the company sells its rail-
road property in Alabama to the Louisville

MES at the same time enter into long

The directors also ratified the purchase
