PRODUCE EXCHANGE is
COMPILING STATISTICS
Establishes Selling Price of Com
modities at Definite Period
on Each Day

With the dawn of the business day
of the new year yesterday. the Produce
exchange inaugurated the plans that
have for their basis a far reaching eff
feet in the betterment of trade condi-
tions, and in giving to Los Angeles her
rightful position regarding her COM
merce. This gathering, tabulation and
publishing of statistics has been made
possible by the cooperation of G. A.
Parkyns of the Southern Pacific, w. III.
Barnwell of the Santa Fe, r. s.
Bridges of the Salt Lake road, w. II.
Mcmillan of the Pacific electric. 7. r.
Gabel of the Los Angeles Pacific, and
G. c. Campbell of the Wells-Fargo ex-
press, who have reports filed with the
exchange each day showing the receipts
of the six leading commodities. These
reports are given in full on the COM
mercial page of the Herald.
Perhaps the most practical innova-
tion Of the exchange is the work per-
formed each day by the egg quotation
committee at 10 o'clock. This commit
tee is composed of l.. M. Cole, chair
man: l.. j. Mathews and HI. S. Darling.
With the daily receipts of local and
eastern eggs as reported by railroads
the committee is enabled to establish
for the succeeding twenty-four hours
the selling price of eggs based on the
law of supply and demand. thus giving
the rancher, shipper, jobber and retail
er substantial support and stable
market.
This new order OF regulating COM
merce also went into effect yesterday
and it's efficiency has been well tested.
AT the last annual meeting of the ex-
change Just before New Years day
the following-named were elected to
membership: Marston & Martin, Klein
Fruit company, Heidi Fruit company
and the Home Ice and Cold Storage
company.
The last year was reported by the Of
ficers OF the exchange to have been
prosperous and successful, as the treas
ury shows a balance and the member
ship has steadily increased.

A DRY LAND CRAB RACE.
Amusing Sport for Boys Which You
Can Try at Your First Sunday
School Picnic.

A great many of our readers are, of
course, familiar with crabs and their
ways, and no doubt have often laughed
at the funny fashion in which they
travel, running around backward and
sideways, and humping into things and
making an all-round exhibition of awk.
wardness. If you wonder at the crab
being awkward, says the Peoples Home
Journal, try a crab race, and you will
see that it is not at all an easy thing
to do.
You need a starter and an umpire
for your crab race, which should be
run on soft, green turf, a park, if you
live in city, or almost anywhere but
the street, if you are country boy.
In either case, l would advise you to
wait until you have on your baseball
suit, and not try it in your school
clothes.
Ten yards, or 30 feet, is quite long
enough for your crab race. The racers
kneel down on all fours and form in
line at the starting point with their
backs toward the starting line. At the

for each day brings to light some new
trust betrayed. some fresh amount of
loss to add to the startlingly large
total.
Yesterday he was the influential di-
rector in dozen or more different
financial and business concerns; to-
day they are dropping his name one by
one, and assuring their clientele and
the public that he no longer has any
connection with the business.
Yesterday Banker Bigelow was
pointed out with pride by the people
of Milwaukee as one of their most
honored and successful financiers; to-
day as he walks the streets by virtue
of a bail bond, he is pointed out as
the man before whom the black walls
of the grim prison are slowly rearing.
Others Involved.
And as we ask the questions we are
reminded that Banker Bigelow is not
the only one who is playing a part in
this startling drama. On the stage
with him there appears at least one
of the bank clerks, Henry G. Coll, as
sistant cashier, who helped to falsify
the accounts to cover the defalcation.
We say he appears on the stage! We
must qualify that statement and say
that figuratively speaking for the pur-
poses of this story he appears. But the
fact of the matter is that he has dis

how much money disappeared with
him.
Disastrous May Wheat Deal.
The May wheat deal, in which it is
said that John w. Gates, the manipu-

and did not lose fortune, figures
a good many million bushels, it is

losses, either by the direct plunging of

Gordon Bigelow, whose financial back

The latest story is that Gates got out
Of the deal with whole skin and a

handsome profit to boot, and that the
heavy losses caused by the breaking
of the corner and the dropping of the
price of May wheat from $1.21A to
9S2 cents, fell on the tailers whose
holdings in some cases were enormous,
as is evident from the fact that one
line of 100000 bushels for an outsider
was bought at $1.19, nearly the maxi
mum price reached. And it is more
than likely that Bigelow was caught
for big sum, and it was this loss
which precipitated the exposure. If
John w. Gates made by the deal, there
are those who are firm in the belief
that Bigelow's losses helped to cover
the Gates losses and leave the latter
handsome margin. And so the
