meet local demands; The finer quality

dency to lower quotations. Northern pro-
ducers ship to Los Angeles to find mar

overstocked. Much uneasness Is felt
among local dealers and they are making
an effort to stop shipments from Fresno
and elsewhere.
The egg situation appears to be the
principal interesting topic of discussion
among local jobbers. California ranch

Produce dealers in Los Angeles are
law abiding citizens, but the enforce
ment of the new game law, with special
application to the handling and sale OF
ducks, is causing more or less free dis
cusston and test cases will result In
considerable litigation. This is the
open season for duck shooting, dating
from october Is to February Is, 1906,
but no "pot-hunter" or sportsman Is
permitted under penalty of the state
law to kill or have in his possession
more than fifty ducks on any one day,
and no dealer Is allowed to have on
sale or receive more than fifty ducks.
Being in possession of more than fifty
ducks subjects the dealer to prosecu-
tion.
Shipments are made from the I'm
perial section and other points, in
sacks, boxes and other receptacles.
Some are labeled, others are not, and
1t is difficult for the most alert game
warden to spot violations, but num-
ber of arrests for alleged violations of
the law have been made.
Zaiser Brothers state that it is
their earnest desire to observe the law.
They have sent letter to the governor
asking him to appoint a special game
warden to be put on duty at their place
of business for the purpose of daily In
spection of receipts of ducks. This
they claim Is the only way to secure
proper and strict Observance of the
day, but the firm Is entirely ignorant
of the contents of the same until they
are opened and contents checked off.
1t is believed the governor will favor
ably consider the application for a
special officer.
