BUY ON CHAN &C
FOURTEEN SALES AGGREGATE
$4,000 IN VALUATION
Record Deals Since Reorganization Of
the Exchange-Local Ranch
Eggs Advanced to 3sc
Dozen

one Of the most active sessions in the
history of the produce exchange Of Los
Angeles was held yesterday, when sales
amounting to about $500 in value were
recorded.
Eight carloads of fancy Highland 'po-
tatoes were sold at Sl.4Od1 an per loo
pounds; ten cases of local case-count eggs
at 31G37Rc; twenty-five sacks of sweet
potatoes at $lb0dL65; 100 boxes of Cres-
cent pippins at rec a box; ten barrels of
cranberries at Sll.50 barrel.
Later there were offerings of ten car
loads of fancy Highlands at 81 42I5, but
the house that had bought the eight car
loads seemed to have been supplied and
The sales in detail were as follows:
Cheese $685. eggs. Slll.75 onions, $40 40;
Irish potatoes, 1854; sweet potatoes,
s5g.6l; apples $3.50; cranberries' Sll5; to-
tai, $4144G.
The unusual activity in spuds is said to
be on account of the movement started
in the north to buy up all the fancy
goods around $l.371z, the prices prevailing
In San Francisco, making the buying
price here S1.40. Potatoes generally are
frmer in the local market Samples from
the Upland section have appeared in the
market, said to be the equal of the extra
fancy spuds.
The egg quotation committee had an
ether important session, and came
through with report that eggs had adj
vanced from 35c a dozen for local ranch
candled eggs to ooc; northern from 33c to
35c and eastern fresh from 33C to 30c
dozen. Sales were made around &c. This
action of the committee seemed to meet
he,approval of a majority of the dealers.
Predictions are made that the quotations
will go to 40c before the end 70 the week.
There were no new features in the gen
eral market. Grapes appeared to be more
plentiful than usual. The corner" is
broken and now slightly lower prices pre-
vail. Tomatoes are also plentiful and
job at 100000 a box, according to size and
quality.
There was an abundance Of small fish.

day Of court, and the court room was
the center of attraction. Judge Futhey
was on the bench, the court docket
before him, and the preliminaries
were being gone through. The judge
ordered the jury to be called and in
the meantime busted himself looking
over the docket and papers pertaining
to the business of the court.

was Mr.. c., dealer In cattle, who
wanted to be in Lancaster that day on
business He had consulted a lawyer,
who said the Judge was pretty strict
and no excuse short Of illness in his
immediate family would be accepted.
Mr.. c. felt discouraged, but did not
despair. He carefully considered the
situation All members of his family
were in their usual health; in fact, his
wife was preparing to attend the mar

law, chronic, half invalid, was COM
planning some as usual. The case
seemed desperate, but he decided to
try.
