Cost Of Transporting Apples to Eastern
Points is Reduced.

sA NFRANCIsC0. Augut 24.--An i'm.
portant action has been taken by the
court officials OF the Southern Pacific TO
allow the California farmers to compete
with the Eastern trade. The freight
rate on apples to Chicago and main line
points west of that city will be reduced
from 81 per 100 pounds to S5 cents.
The apple crop al through the East is
large this year, and the fruit is selling
at such reduced prices that ii the local
farmers had to pay the old rates they
would have been unable to compete.
The reduction allows margin to figure
on and will enable them to get in the
running. The California crop has been
very large this year and the fruit is in
the best Of condition. Large orders will
be sent to the East as soon as the new
rates go into effect on August 2S.
