FRESNO, CAL, Oct S1-A serious situ-
alton has developed here in connection
with moving the fruit on account of the
financial condition in the east.
The ordinary method is to send through
the local banks draft on the eastern
jobber attached to the bill of lading. AS
the eastern banks are not paying in cash.
however. this method of moving the raisin
and fruit crop cannot be followed.
Today a number of the packers ex-
planned to the growers that they could
not pay for the contracted goods on de-
livery. The growers have accepted the
situation philosophically.
Tomorrow number of the most prom
inent packers in the state who own plants
in Fresno will hold a meeting with the
local bankers. The object is to devise a
credit system whereby the great raisin
and dried fruit crop of FRESNO can be
handled.
The raisins and fruit this year are
bringing the highest prices in years, and
everything will be done to facilitate the
handling of the crop in the face of the
