1900 Crates OF Strawberries.

ID. M Ragon, who resides about
six miles northwest of Nampa, has
marketed nearly 1900 crates of
strawberries this season. When
seen by Record representative
he said that prices had not been
entirely satisfactory but the yield
had been much larger than usual
He will dry off his jumbo variety
and grow second crop, that past
experience has shown is quite
profitable. The yield he said is
not SO good as the first crop but
the flavor and shipping qualities
of the berries are far better and
that results in better price being
obtained. Wholesale price secur-
ed range, he said, from 1915 to %
cents per box for second crop ber-
ries.
Mr.. Ragon said he had tried
Pan America and Autumn, two of
the widely advertised varieties of
fall bearing berries They fruited
very nicely in the fall but the ber-
ries were SO small that he discard
ed the plants. He is testing out
some new seedlings of these ber-
ries that are spoken very highly
of. He said he would be able to
tell this fall whether or not they
are likely to be of value for berry
growers in this section, They
will bear for the first time on the
Raglan ranch this fall So much
has been claimed for these varities
by eastern growers that the result
of Mr.. Ragon's experiments with
them will be awaited with great
interest by southern Idaho berry
growers. Ii the new fall bearing
yarities should prove all that is
claimed for them, they would add
greatly to the income of Idaho
berry growers. Nampa Record.

From then on Dufreny has innumerable

Preferred Stock Sales at'$92,
and Better Holding
: Very Strong.

Business on the local stock exchange
was smaller today than during the high
tide Of trade last week. 1t was partly
due to the closing of the New York
Stock Exchange, the meeting of the di-
rectors Of the Washington Gas Light
Company, and other causes which re-
fleet upon business on holiday. How
ever, the local brokers gave some at
tention to the railway stocks and pub
lie utility bonds
Railway common, which receded
somewhat from the high point on Sat
urday, sold at 80 and small fractions
below, mostly in 100-share lots. The
recent fire which destroyed one of the
great car barns of the company had no
appreciable effect upon the securities;
The preferred shares were strong and
active above 80, the higher sales reach
ing 92h..
Trading in bonds came in after call,
and was confined to Gas SIS and Cap
