FLOOD ADVANCES
PRICE OF POTATOES
Island District Lost $4,000
Sacks of Tubers, but Market
Not Crippled

ANTIOCH. Jan. so.-Two weeks ago
POTATOES could have been purchased for
so cents sack in this district. but at
present they bring s1.75 The market
is weakening and decided drop in
prices is expected to take place shortly.
1t is estimated that not more than
$4,000 sacks of potatoes were destroyed
in the island district by the recent
floods. although an attempt is being
made to boost the market by reports
that thousands of acres of tubers We're
washed out. Lower and Upper Sher-
man, Twitchen and Venice islands
combined comprise about 10000 acres.
AS not half of this acreage was devoted
to potatoes the flooded district could
not possibly control the tuber situa
ton, although false reports may cause
the market to fuctuate until eondi-
lions become better known
The potato supply in the river sec
tions is not exhausted, and this will
be shown as soon as the upriver pro-
ducers can secure barges to move their
crops.
It is almost impossible to estimate
the loss to the submerged islands, but
it probably is as follows: Upper sher-
man island. s1oOO.oOO; Sand Mound
district, 100000; Venice island. $780,
900. Twitchell island, s75o.oOO-
1t is not believed that the flood will
affect the price of any commodity for
any length of time. The indications
are splendid for a good hay crop.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1909-01-31
Meat Supply Limited

Recent advances in prices of meats
have been productive of nothing but
trouble for the proprietors of markets.
Consumers are complaining of the high
cost of beef. mutton and lamb, and
their protests. are directed at the retail
tradesmen, who are in nowise to blame.
The supply of fresh meat is short all
along the coast.
The loss of cattle by drowning on
the flooded river delta, coupled with the
interruption of railroad traffic because
of the storms has made it difficult for
slaughterers to get enough stock into
the market to meet average daily re-
auirements, and wholesale prices are
high in consequence.
An extended period of high prices is
probable. as grass fed California cattle.
whichs generally appear in the early
spring, will not be marketable until
well on toward the summer months,
according to wholesale butchers.

JERE BURKE WILL
LOSE ONE FAT JOB
Clearing House Tires of Paying
Assistant Manager Who
Works by Proxy


The ak of the executive COMMITTEES
of the San Francisco gearing house as
sociation is about to fall ana Jere
Burke. it is reported, is to lose his fat
position of assistant manager. which
he has held for countless years.
The annual meeting of the associa-
tion will take place Tuesday. February
9. and at that meeting a majority Of
the bankers, members of the associa-
ton will ask for the head OF Burke
They are not opposed to having an as
sistant manager who assists. but refuse
to stand for Burke. who usually makes
one appearance at the clearing house
during the year.
Il think it is an outrage" is the way
one prominent banker put it yesterday
ITO think that the banks are paying
salary to man for doing the work
of an assistant manager and that that
man never comes near the clearing
house. but pays half his salary to an
other man to perform the work for
him"
in the same manner. They believe that
Burke should be compelled to attend to
his duties and not hire another man in
his place They all admit that the
work is being properly done by Burke's
understudy. DIR. c. L. Bigelow, and
many are in favor of giving him the
position permanently.
The fact that. Burke held the position
of assistant manager has been known
TO only few of the bankers. Many
of them expressed surprise when they
learned that Jere Burke of Southern
Pacific fame and Jere Burke of the
clearing house were one and the same
person.
William H. High, local manager of
the International banking corporation
and secretary of the clearing house
