Railroad Freight Officials Say Feel
Dealers Are to blame.

Dealers Are to RlaIne.
4 Chicago, Nov 1o.-According to
THE declaration q railroad freight
officials another coal famine is inev-
table in the northwest during the
coming winter. and there is no way
10 prevent it, They base their opin-
ion upon the lack of preparedness at
this time for strenuous conditions.
The fault is not with the railroads,
because for months they have been
Iurging dealers to put in a good sup
lay of fuel and not take the chances
they have on former occasions, which
subjected them to great deprivation
and suffering because the railroads
were blocked with snow and unable
to afford relief. A year or two ago
! the dealers were accused of having
deliberately failed to order large
supply in order that they might put
lup their prices with scarcity as an ex-
cuse for SO doing.
! In response to the great efforts of
the railroads during the past sum-
mer to induce dealers to make a
large and early storage, they insist
that they are without facilities to do
so, and have said also that they did
not care to take the risk of storing
coal on the ground They do not ap-
pear to be alarmed by the possibility
of famine and believe. that what
ever extra storage is required should
be provided blythe. railroads. II he
latter have, therefore, given atten-
ton solely To storing their own sup
Iply, ahead of consumption. 1t is sta
ted that less than 100000 tons
have been shipped from the Pitts
burg district to the Great Lakes this
Year, as against 100000 to a.
100000 in other seasons

There are at least one hundred
thousand democrats in Texas who
will endorseathe following from the
Fort Worth Telegram: Governor
Campbell has many good traits and
few that are childish. For instance,
he is reported as having asked a
gentleman from San Antonio the
name of the candidate for governor
who carried Bexar county. This is
neither Righteousness nor jest. Gov
ernor Campbell knows all too we'll
the name of the man who opposed
him in the November election, just
like he knew the name of the humble
village blacksmith who, unfortunate
ly, didn't have horde of public Of
ficials out stumping for him and who
was not a grammarian, who opposed
him in the July primary, and who
was honored with the votes of over
100, 600 stalwart democrats of this,
state Governor Campbell never once
stump during his campaign and from
the shaks feelings observed in his
pins, he never permitted his Jnind TIC
dwell on his name without fear max
ing him tremble Play the game fair
ly; keep the record straight. This is
a free country, and the man who Is
opposed by over 100 900 of his fell
lows who doesn't know the name of
the leader of the opposition doesn't
measure up to the needs of gov
ernor. Maybe this is one of the reas-
ons why the amendment to the con-
stitution to increase the governors

the ability of Texas to pay was snow

CITRUS FRUITS AT AUCTION
IN THE NEW YORK MARKET
Victor L. zorn fruit broker, New York, in
Is fest market latter saws.

Victor L. zorn. fruit broker, New York, In
his latest market letter. says:
On Monday, when two of the three cars
which were offered contained good lemons,
there a noticeable improvement in the
market. Good stock advanced about 15c to
25c per box above last weeks closing figures.
The greatest gains were made by 800 size, which
brought S3.25 TO $40. Similar 360s sold at
So rs. Lower grades of 30Os sold $3.50 to 1910
and S60s s2. 40 to 10. Later offerings consisted
mainly of ordinary fruit The range for 300s
81 Is to 80 90 and for 360s, S2.25 to $3.50.
of sizes sold s2.45 down to I.75. Seven
constituted the total offerings. Adyices
received from reliable and well informed per-
sons make it evident that the published
port of a great shortage in the crop for the
current season is without foundation in fact.
In a few districts it is reported that the yield
probably Will be lighter than the last year.
but estimates made in the most important
districts indicate crop at least as large, while
IN some localities an increase in the output
is freely predicted The shipments from Oe-
cember to December 9, inclusive. were 50
cars, as against 81 last year, % cars in
1906 and 56 In 1905.
General Improvement was noted in the orange
market for all varieties. Record prices were
obtained on Monday for a car of Arizona
navels. The Desert brand averaged 1928 per
box, the large sizes selling up to $50. For
half boxes of the same brand S4.26 was aver
aged. There was active and eager de-
mand for California navels of good color, and
the large sizes Of even the pale fruit were
taken readily, but the medium and small
sizes suffered neglect. The top
price of the week was $3.50, which was paid
for the 96 size. Some of the averages We're
as follows: Mariposa, s3.43 and ss.06; Golden
State, 1915 and s3.77; Sunset. 1925 and ss is;
Badger, S2.4T. The F1oridas were generally
in better condition than those sold last
week, the Improvement in the condition of
the fruit in Fridays offering being
pseially notable. By comparison with last
week there was an average advance in prices
of about 25c per. box. At this sale the 12S
size of the fancy pineapple variety brought
SS,@, average of $3.50 being Thursdays
sale, which was a much larger one, and
comprised a considerable quantity Of ordi-
nary fruit, few lots averaged LAB and 50 S.
but the averages for most of the fruits
scaled downward from S2.1S to sL20. Porto
Ricos brought $.50 down to soc. The offer
ings of the week aggregated $50 boxes of
Floridas, 10000 boxes of Porto Ricos, one
car of Arizoaas and cars of CALIFORNIA;
The shipments from California from Deeem-
ber last to December ., inclusive, were
2S6 cars, compared witsh 416 cars in the
corresponding week OF last year, 295 cars in
1906 and $50 cars in 1906

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'S. weekly review Of trade tomorrow win
say;
Holiday trade is active. most sections re-
porting a substantial increase over the vol
ume year ago, and where weather condi-
tions are favorable there is a good retail
movement of seasonable merchandise. Whole
sale and jobbing houses are doing about the
customary business for this time of the
year.
Forward spring contracts have been most
encouraging, many mills and factories having
good orders for shipment during the next
three months and there is still more or less
idle machinery in the leading Industries.
Mercantile collections are prompt for the
season and trade shows a tendency to Inn
prove gradually. Reports are especially en-
couraging from the central states and the
northwest.
A light demand for hides has tended to
