viii you kindly let me know as soon
as possible of something to emoVe
spots from a boys light gray overcoat?
They look like grease and are very
unsightly. l am a great admirer OF
your woman's page. MRS. CORA ).
An excellent mixture to remove
grease spots from boys or mems

to one part of ammonia. Ado half as
much ether as ammonia. Apply the
fluid to the grease spot and Their rub
thoroughly with a sponge dipped in clear
water. / am sure you VIII ma THIS
remedy satisfactory.

In the chicken line all kinds OF young stock
were In good demand at steady to firm prices,
while small and old hens not wanted. A

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetable.

Receipts of vegetables from the Los Angeles
region were again light, but as business was
very quiet on account of the stormy weather
the limited supplies proved more than sufficient
and prices were inclined to weakness Peas
were lower and sales of beans peppers and
eggplant at the outside quotations were rare,
dealers being willing to make concessions 10
effect clearances. Good tomatoes were scarce
and firm and some in large boxes from across
the bay brought q premium. There was hardly
any sale for rhubarb and the market was over
stocked with mushrooms, which sold from Ice
TO 25c pound. Potatoes and onions were firm
y held. but there was not much doing in either.

Dried Fruits, Raislns. Nuts and Honez


The market is inclined 70 be dull. whether on
account Of the unseasonably warm weather as
some in the trade assert or because distributors
are Following policy of even greater conserva-
tism than heretofore, is not apparent. but deal
ers are Of the opinion that there Is little prob
ability of material improvement in business un-
til after the turn OF the year, when the holiday
season is over and wintry weather may be rea-
sonaby expected. The slack demand at present
Is without weakening effect upon market values
on the spot or on the coast, so far as California
fruits are concerned and IL has apparently little
II any influence on the tone Of the market for
imported goods.
Among coast products the strongest as well
as the most active article on the list is apricots.
All reports indicate that present conditions are
directly attributable TO unusually large export
demand this season. which has absorbed more
than twothirds Of the crop while the home de-
present time there is practically nothing offered
from the coast. though there said to be few
held at prices which would make it necessary
for packers to charge 10e f. O. b. for choice to
compass, and there is said to be little on the
way here from the coast Choice are especially

Neu York cottnn Market

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Hutton's wire says:
The local market opened steady. to 4 points
down. with trade active. There a great
deal of short selling in the early dealings. The
feature Of the day was the final crop report for
the season by the government, which estimated
the crop at 10. .920. 600 bales exclusive of lint
ers. Shorts were heavy buyers. as well as the
bulI crowd. The report indicates a crop very
little in excess of the worlds needs, and if spin
continue to take it freely from now as
they have done 60 date, prices should go higher.
The government estimate furnished bullish
surprise today. the trade generally look
ing for estimate of 13 000. 900 bales.
The market under pressure all the morning
from struggling sales Of long cotton. and the
government figures caused a sharp advance of 20
points. with prices well maintained. 4 great
deal of the bearish talk that has been circulated
recently is undoubtedly due TO encouragement
resulting from continued liquidation of outside
speculation. The mills show every disposition to
60 into the market on all recessons and trade
news is favorable. Liverpool ought TO take
bullish view of the report.
