LOS ANGELES PRODUCE

Los Angeles, Jan. 10--After several
sales at prices which ranged between
4Oc and 41c a dozen, eggs advanced

on the Los Angeles produce exchange.
The situation seems to be steady now
after the great fluctuations which oc-
Cured at the first of the week, and
the present rate of 40c a dozen for
the fresh ranch case count is a good
indication of the market.
Eastern diaries cheese advanced to
1870 a pound yesterday and eastern
longhorns sold for zoe a pound. This
is the first activity which has occurred
in cheese on the exchange for some
time. Butter was unchanged yester-
day, being neither offered nor bid for
White onions, which have been SELL
ing at Sc hundred, are now cleaned
up on the local market, and browns
and yellows furnish the only supply.
These bring from $40 to $3.50 a
hundred and the supply is scarce.
Dealers say that the exceptionally
high price which they are bringing
this year is due to small receipts,
which were only 1900 sacks last week.
At the same time last year there were
$3.50 sacks shipped into the city.

age of history.
an alloy Is a compound of two or
more metals. Alloys generally possess
properties vastly different from the
parent metals. For instance, gold is
the most ductile Of all metals. It NAV
oe drawn into the finest wire or beaten
INTO transparent film finer than the
thlnnest tissue, and yet mix the small
est quantity Of anthony with gold and
1t Is not ductile at all. Copper and tin
mixed together produce an alloy with
higher specific gravity than either of
its constituents, and the same weight
VIII occupy less bulk. Copper and an
timony produce beautiful violet blue
alloy.
By mixing together eight parts by
weight OF bismuth, FIVE parts of lead
and three parts Of grain tin an alloy is
produced which will melt at so low a
temperature that spoon made of It
VIII melt when 1t is immersed in hot
tea. and yet the melting point of each
OF Its components is at least twice that
Of boiling water.
A small quantity of manganese
makes iron almost Indifferent to mag
netism, while bit Of tungsten will in
crease its magnetic powers. Copper Is
good conductor Of electricity, but IL
little arsenic be mixed with 1t 1t be-
comes almost a nonconductor. A little
tungsten makes steel very much hard

making type metal because the alloy
has the peculiar property Of expanding
as 1t cools.-New York World.
