GENERAL TRADE
Since the middle OF the summer there has
been an upward trend. returns have come in
from. the marketed products OF California, and
the increase is likely TO continue for the next
two months. The fruit season is rather un-lss,

steadily forward. the total so far reached being
nearly 1900 carloads of deciduous and more
than $4,000 carloads OF citrus fruits. In some
