REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Hesitating and Uncertain
Trading, with Weaker
Price Tendency.

Trading in securities yesterday was
even more dull and uncertain with
such tendency toward price movement
as developed being downward. but
changes on the day were only In small
fractions. Business was on more
contracted scale, the number OF shares
changing hands. less than 10000. be-
ing the smallest for about a week. The
market seemed hesitating for some
outside influence TO set in motion. and
the railroad rate decision or Mexico
may supply the impulse lacking.
Bonds. too. were less actively dealt in
than on Tuesday. Apart from weak
ness in a few railroad issues prices
were steady. Europe was q moderate
seller in this market.
The day started irregular. early Lon
don trading having given no pro-
nounced lead. After the opening prices
sagged a little and trading became
dull. with slight, ineffective rallies and
reactions. Again some firmness APP
peared in the final hour on profit TAX

moved in n narrow range Of prices.

lty, changed hands to the extent Of

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
IN STATE FAVORED

Los Angeles, Nov. 16.-With un-
divided sentiment for the creation OF
State Department of Agriculture,
to be administered by secretary of
agriculture, and the purpose of pre-
pairing and presenting to the coming
Legislature a bill providing for such
innovations, the forty-ffth convention
of the California State Fruit Growers
was brought to a close Saturday after
noon in the old Normal School build
ing.
The suggestion for the creation of
such an office was made early in the
convention by DIR. A. ]. Cook of Sac
rameuto, State Commissioner of Hor-
ticulture, whose duties would be taken
over by the new official, if the pro-
posed measure becomes a law.
The suggestion was considered one
of the most important matters
brought before the fruit growers and
it was the only one to receive con-
sideration by the legislative COM
mittee, of which c. C. league of
Santa Paula, is chairman.
The report of the committee, read
to the convention by Mr.. league, fol-
lows IN part:
the Secretary of Agriculture
should exercise all the executive and
regulators powers, and should per-
form the duties now vested in and
required to be performed by such
boards, commissions and officers, as
follows:
'"Tne State of Board of Agriculture,
the State Agricultural Society, the
State Commissioners of Horticulture,
the State Board of Horticultural Ex-
aminers, the State Dairy Bureau, the
Board of Veterinary Medicine, the
State Veterinarian, the State Board
of Sheep Commissioners, the Stallion
Registration Board, the State Board
of Viticultural Commissioners, the

Angeles; "Orchard Data" by G. W..
Hosford, San Dimas; Mexican

In closing the convention Commits
sioner Cook said that the attendance
had exceeded 1900 and that the meet

ever held in California.

"Your committee recommends that
the convention refer the matter to the
legislative committee for the purpose
of having bill prepared and present
ed to the Legislature which shall en-
body the principles set forth in the
foregoing resolution"
The delegates unanimously favored
the proposed measure and authorized
the legislative committee TO proceed
with the preparation of the bill.
The committee on resolutions, of
which r. c. Allen of Bonita, is chair
man, reported. endorsing the Raker
quarantine bill, and proposed meas

stock of San Francisco. 1t also recon-
mended that the work of the state
statistician be done hereafter under
the direction of the State Horticultural
Commissioner.
The same committee offered reso-
lutions of gratitude to the Los An
geles newspapers for publicity given
the convention and to individuals and
firms which had aided in its success.
c. B. Messenger of Los Angeles, as
chairman of the committee on per-
manent organization of horticultural
lists of the state, brought in a report
