FRESH MEATS ADVANCE
IN Los ANGELES MARKET
REACH HIGHEST POINT OF FIVE
YEARS
Eetter Tone Prevails in Fruit and
egetabIes-Onions, Beans and
Cheese Advance-Fish Con-
tinueS Scarce

Fresh meats advanced in the Los Angeles
market yesterday, reaching the highest point
quoted in five years. For the past two months
prices have been gradually advancing, but the
last advance was not expected so soon. The
advance is said to be general, affecting cattle,
sheep and hogs. The advance ranged from 12c
to 1c pound. The new quotations put steers
at S12c, heifers at &c, milk lambs at 13c, year
lings at 114c, wethers at 10c, ewes at sac,
dressed hogs at 10c.
The advance was due to a scarcity in live
stock, it is said. The drought made it impos-
sible to fatten sufficient cattle last summer
and fall.
There was a better tone in the produce mar
lxet yesterday. Receipts were much larger
than for Monday, and there was a correspond
ing improvement in the demand.
Onions advanced to $3.50 as top, but sold as
low as $2.25.
Pink, lima and Sblackeye beans advanced
about 25c hundred and cream brick and linn
burger cheese 1c a pound.
The fish market cleaned up early. Fish
ermen experienced difficulty both in catching
and shipping The result was a poor market.
Vegetables and fruit were unchanged from
Monday. Prices were the same. y

JUDGE ASKED TO STOP
GOLD DREDGERS' WORK
Town of Oroville Seeks to Pre-
vent Damage by Floods

Fear of another flood through the
operations of gold dredgers, such as
happened the winter before last, caused
the town of Oroville to petition Judge
Morrow of the United States circuit
court yesterday to strengthen the in
junction already obtained against the
Ophir gold dredging company.
The concern is now working the bed
of Dry creek under a permit from the
city given with the understanding that
the land should be left in the condi-
zion it was found in. But the city en-
gineer discovered that loose rock
would lay his prospective levee open to
a washout in flood times 1t was a
transverse pile of rock left by the In
diana company that flooded the town

injunction except on a hearing as to its
merits. which is to be set for the ear

STOCKTON, Nov. William Cooper
and Joseph Thompson, negroes, have
been held to answer to the charge OF
robbing Cooper's former wife of her
diamonds, valued at $4,000. Their bail
has been fixed at 81 900 each.
According to the testimony during
the preliminary examination, the rob-
berry was prearranged scheme. The
woman came to stockton October %
from Oakland with Cooper. 1t was
early in the morning when they ar

down a dark street where she was at

by the sound of his voice as Cooper
friend, Thompson. The diamonds were

of the newer knitted afghans also have
flowered design at fixed intervals.
The knitted shawls are lovely They
come in circular effects. edged with
fringe. Some have deep points, and
others have openWork bands for trim

A particularly effective design is a
circular shawl done in a striped effect
and having a delicate shell edge re-

Among the small things that are easy
to make and effective for Christmas I

these for cold weather.
