SANTA ANA, July 13:-The apricot
season is now on and hundreds of men,
women and children are engaged
picking and pitting the fruit and in
the drying yards. The hot weather of
the last few days has not only ripened
the fruit, but has damaged it consider
ably by blistering and toughening 1t.
The fruit this season is small as COM
pared with the average crops, but the
trees are literally loaded, and in many
orchards they have broken down
largely. Growers are much concerned
over the outlook for prices, as the
yield will cut the figure to cents or
less, with a market that will accept
only the best fruit.

Million Tons.

In spite Of the fact that the trade

was unusually dull, present indica'
lions are that the total output Of coal
from this port In 1908 will be the
largest OF any year in the ports his
tory, exceeding that Of the banner
year, 1907. by more than 100000 tons.
Up to last Saturday night a total
OF 3,O5l ,932 tons had been dumped
over the coal docks since January
1. During the same period last year
the dumpings tOtaled 1881 ,SO7 tons.
showing an increase for this year OF
70.625 tons.
During the first three months OF
this year many of the big factories
In New England were closed and
the demand for coal in that section
was comparatively small until June.
Since that time, however. the trade
has been unusually brisk. The for
eign coal business this year has been
very slack as compared to that Of last
year.
Local coal men believe that the
total drmpinEs for the present year
will be about 3.500.000. This total
will. Il IL said. be far in excess CT
that a: the Norfolk & Western docks
across Hampton Roads and for an
other year this city will rank far
ahead Of Norfolk as a coal port.
