BIRTHPLACE OF THE PRUNE
First Trees Were imported From
France and Planted In the Santa
Clara Valley, California.

San Jose, Cal--It is possible that
there are people compelled to live in
city boarding houses who will not
think that the man who introduced
prunes into America deserves to rank
as public benefactor Whatever the
"boarders" may think about It, 1t In
certain that boarding house keepers
will regard him as one Of the great
men Of the past century. In that opin.
ion California orchardists will heartily
concur. as he was the pioneer in an
industry that now represents an In
vestment Of more than s50,000,0o0 In
improved orchard land, equipment
and packing plants, and pays large
dividends on every dollar. The first
prune trees ever planted in California
were imported from France and plant

sery, In San Jose, In the year 1868.
Mr.. Pellier has long been dead, but
his old home is still standing, and
ought to be regarded as sacred
landmark by all purveyors and con-
sumers Of prunes. The old frame
house Is now the center of 100000
acres of prune orchards, grouping In
the Santa Clara valley. Not far from
100000 prune trees grow in the val
ley. In comparison with these figures.
the prune orchards OF France, Spain,
Germany, Austria, Servia and. other
rune-growing countries are hardly
worthy of mention. California now
dominates the worlds prune trade, not
only supplying the markets of the
United States, but exporting millions
Of pounds annually.

Sir Thomas Vezey Strong, the new
lord mayor of London, is the first In
the long history of the Office to be a
teetotaler He has drunk nothing
stronger than water all his life, and
doesn't intend to.
Two great events will mark the
reign Of Sir Vezey at the Mansion

Georges coronation, at which he will
not have to officlate in any way, but
he will receive a baronetcy as a nice
little memento. The second is the
five hundredth anniversary of the Sta
toners guild, and In this he will take
a prominent part. He is past mas,
ter of the guild, and his year of office
synchronizes happily with its quin.
centenary. In commemoration of this
Sir Vezey has suggested the building
of an art gallery really worthy of the
city Of London.
London has cause to be grateful to

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The selling of Lanston continued at to-
days meeting of the stock exchange. 1t
was marketed yesterday at 9o. The sell
ing today was on the same level, and it
was apparent that there was more for
sale when the trading ceased. However,
the price was firmly maintained and the
lower levels were not reached.
AS the properties of the Greene Cananea
Copper Company are located in Mexico,
more interest was shown in the stock
than usual. The disturbed condition
which prevails in that country at present
and the apprehension felt in some quar-
tiers that there may be further trouble in
the future have not. SO far. been reflected
in the stock. Today the stock was offered
at ., which was the asking price yester-
day. But the bid was better today. as 1t
was so instead of 512-yesterday's bid.
In addition to the Greene stock,
which is held in this city. there Is also
the stock Of the Batopilas Mining Com
pany, which was founded by the late
der the management OF his sons, and
which numbers among its stockhold-
ers some of the residents of this city.
The announcement was made OF the
regular dividend by the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company. The
quotations for the stock were renewed
on the same level as that which has
been recorded for some time. The at
fairs of the company do not appear to
have been affected by the reported ar
rangements for establishing. a rival
line between this city and Norfolk.
